I vaguely remember the cover of an Atmosphere album that featured one of those classic “Wish You Were Here” New York City postcards.

Am I imagining things or was that a real cover? It would have been one of his earlier ones.

Thank you!

Since having kids, what are some ideas or ways you think society (culture or public policy) could change to make life better for bigger families?

I personally hate how unwalkable /unbikeable so much of the US is.

My crew and I walk and bike to church and to school as much as we can. It’s a relatively safe walk compared because we live in a first ring suburb. But people still zoom on neighborhood roads, include some people clearly on their phones or not in a safe state to be driving at all.

Before having kids I didn’t consider how massive “standard” pickup trucks are, especially with their huge front ends that make seeing little kids impossible.

When I do drive I try to be even more aware of pedestrians and bikers.

Frankly if politicians want the birth rate to quit sinking, we might consider making places safer for kids to bike and walk.

Anyway that’s just one thought. I have many more ideas but I’m curious what folks here have to say.
