You make your own environment. You don’t have to accept the way things are in your neighborhood or in a city; you can change things. And you can have a large impact. Don’t just let the conditions dictate your response. If you think the schools in another district are better, or there’s no place for your kid to play … make the schools in your neighborhood better. Get a park made. This ideal neighborhood that people think they can find by moving somewhere else, you can make yourself. You can make those things happen where you are now. It just takes work, and it takes organizing. If you don’t do that, if you don’t get involved, other people will make the decisions for you — wherever you are. In the suburbs, in the city, it doesn’t matter.

I loved Helvetica and Objectified. Can’t wait to see this.
