In addition to covering real estate for The New York Times, I contributed to a number of other publications. I was part of Salon’s political team during the 2004 Presidential election. Here is a selection of those pieces.
- Marching for Their Lives (Salon, April 21, 2004): Pro-Choice activists are mobilizing for Washington with new urgency as more than a dozen states aim to outlaw reproductive rights.
- The Dark Side of Ralph Nader (Salon, July 1, 2004): Dozens of people who have worked with or for Nader over the decades have had bitter ruptures with the man they once respected and admired.
- The Bulls-Eye State (Salon, August 23, 2004): Susan Sarandon, Bruce Springsteen, and an army of lesser-known door-knockers converge in Ohio to swing it Democratic blue.
- The Future of America is Blue (Salon, November 9, 2004): Almost 5 million more young people voted this time, and most went Democratic.
I have also contributed to New York magazine, Metropolis, New York Observer, Planning Magazine and others. Here is a small selection of articles.
- Mayor Daley’s Green Crusade (Metropolis, July 2004): Daley has been working for years toward his oft-stated intention to make Chicago the greenest city in America, no small matter given its size and industrial past.
- View from the Bridge (Metropolis, September 2006): Silvercup Studios is most famously home to Tony Soprano; since last July the former bakery, located next to the Queensboro Bridge, also became the site of New York’s largest green roof.
- Exploding the Gentrification Myth (New York Observer, November 2003): A Columbia Professor’s Surprising Findings.
- Generation X: Born Under a Bad Economic Sign (March, 2004): The effects of economic uncertainty for this age group could reverberate all the way from Gen-X’s parents to their children and beyond. This piece became the foundation for my book, Slackonomics.
- Idling at Zero (Planning Magazine, July 2006): Politics and Planning Collide at the World Trade Center Site GroundZeroFinal (PDF)
