The perspective of this blog is one of stewardship. The care and maintenance of the built and the unbuilt environment can be complementary and bringing them together is a necessary step for basic human health, happiness, and long-term survival. None of this is manageable without an appreciation of history and a careful analysis of past and future purposes.
More importantly, none of that is possible without the support of a community that is safe and prosperous enough to focus on our shared future.
Also, buildings and boats and trees and flowers are pretty.
