Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity by Charles L. Marohn Jr.
5.0
Well I didn't think a book about city financing could make me cry but here we are.
His personal account near the end of the book of his decision to move from his cul-de-sac suburb to a dense urban neighborhood and the description of what his life was like after was a window into a life that is a literal fantasy to me, and apparently something I have a deep and unmet desire for: Community.
Real, actual community.
That's what this book made me hungry for, showed me what's keeping it from me, and maybe how to get it someday.
