I'm a senior investigative and policy reporter at the journal Remapping Debate who covers cities, public policy, and occasionally, arts and culture. I previously worked as a staff writer at the San Francisco Examiner, SF Weekly and CityLab, where I helped create the CityLab University series. My freelance work has appeared in The Nation, Slate, MIT Technology Review, Architectural Digest, The Baffler, Fast Company, The Los Angeles Times and other publications. I also write The Urban Condition on Substack.
My book, The Unfinished Metropolis: Igniting the City-Building Revolution, explores why American cities have stagnated, and how the built environment can evolve to address our biggest societal challenges.
