His core message

• follow his Three Rules Of Urban Design:

  • build to the Side Walk/property line

  • make the building front "permeable" (connect the inside to the Side Walk with windows and doors)

  • prohibit Parking in front of building (he's referring to onsite lots; Street Parking is OK)

• Favor states which will consider a Libertarian answer

• Hang great architecture
