City Planners as Bloggers

I don't know why this is, but I appear to be one of the few active city planner bloggers, at least on blogspot. Since blogspot is free, I would have assumed that there would be more. Maybe they are all more diligent than I am. Or maybe they don't think that this is an interesting way to interact with people. So far, of course, there hasn't been a whole lot of what I would call interaction...

If you were to click on my profile (over there to the right where it says view my complete profile or whatever it says) you would see some interesting things about me. If you were to click on the city planner words next to occupation it would take you to people who have also put in city planner in that spot. Most of them are inactive, but there are some that are active and some that are actually related to planning... I guess that some people view a blog as a kind of journal for getting their families onto the web so others can see them - not that there's anything wrong with that. My goal has been to get people more interested in the community of Mont Belvieu and what's going on here.

It seems that some of you have been looking for postings of new things that are going on in Mont Belvieu. I could tell you - I have a very definite idea of what is going on for almost every parcel in our City. But I prefer this space to talk about how communities are made great, which often has little to do with what is currently going on. Development happens, it's true. But how to do it properly and how to appropriately care for the people who will eventually live there is of greater concern to me than the actual buildings.

Maybe that's strange, but that's where I am.

For now.

If you want to talk about new things going on in Mont Belvieu, come on in or send me an email. I promise I will respond with more information than you ever wanted...
