The Recipe for Urban Success: A Healthy Mix of Order and Chaos (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s more than one path a city can follow as it pursues prosperity and global renown. It can seek success through careful planning and regulation, as many European cities, the Asian powerhouse of Singapore and (one might argue) Philadelphia have done. Or it can stay away from planning and trust its future to the free market, as Houston and perhaps Los Angeles have done in this country. Either strategy can work; either one can fail.But the best strategy for a city is a combination of both, or
How Young Is Too Young to Marry? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don’t know quite what to make of Courtney Stodden. Until recently, I had never heard of her. That’s mostly because I don’t watch reality TV shows. But I know who she is now. She is California’s most prominent spokesperson for a proposed state law, AB 1267, that would outlaw all marriage under the age of 18. As of now, California has no legal minimum age for marriage.

It also spent millions to make the central area, known as “the Golden Triangle,” a green oasis. That was calle
Museum Extravagance and the Forgotten Visitor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Los Angeles is in the midst of a museum explosion. The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures opened in 2021. A major expansion of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was completed this April, and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is scheduled to open its doors this September. These new spaces range in expanse from about 300,000 square feet to nearly 350,000. All are in large part funded by private fortunes and contributions, but all involve some degree of participation by the local governments.Thes
