I’ve spent more time just walking outside in the past 5 months than I have in my entire life and one thing that I feel more certain about than ever is how important it is to have free public parks, playgrounds, and outdoor green spaces accessible to all people in all communities.

And I didn’t have a strong opinion on this before, but I also think cities would be so much better if we banned cars from many of our streets and instead turned them into walking/biking/running spaces. It transforms cities and communities.

Half a year of quarantine has me out here wanting to go back to school to study urban planning
