It takes a village--or a digital commons--to raise a courtyard block! Let's work together to make this happen.

Hi Alicia, I really like your work. Chicago definitely needs to continue to promote livable neighborhoods, and I think Courtyard block development is a great way to do so.
My primary focus is our transportation network with the Chicago 2100 plan. I have been involved with the Chicago Growth Project (https://www.chicagogrowthproject.org/) with the main goal of politically advocating for policy and candidates that support exactly this: housing affordability, livable neighborhoods, excellent transit. Would you be interested in working together on a blog post or any communications? I believe with more coalitions of likeminded advocates, our message can resonate further.
