  • On October SO, 1993, the Mirage Resorts, Inc., Imploded the Casino and North Tower, Which Was Televised
    Dunes MICHELLE REED On October SO, 1993, the Mirage Resorts, Inc., imploded the casino and north tower, which was televised. The Dunes's death signified the birth of another resort. n I ily, we're going to be late," Robert says. He paces nervously in front of Lthe door and jingles our car keys in his hand. "It doesn't matter," I say. "They're always running behind anyway." I slurp the leftover milk from my cereal bowl and place it on the coffee table. "I want to see what they're going to say about the Dunes." Robert sighs loudly as he moves around the room. He fluffs the pillows beside me on the sofa and straightens the pile of magazines on the floor beside his chair. It's not his fault that he doesn't understand. He doesn't know Lizzy, has never even heard of her. I pick up the remote control and turn the volume up on the television. The news of the implosion of the Dunes made it all the way from Las Vegas to New Orleans, and a KNYZ reporter is announcing that it will be broadcast tonight at 6 p.m. The screen behind her shows a group of people gathered around the casino's marquee. Thanks for the Memories, it reads. It's been nineteen years since I've seen my sister. I search the crowd for her face, almost sure that I won't see her but hoping anyway. Lizzy was in the eighth grade when I was nine. It was 1973, the year she stopped celebrating her birthday.

  • Voters in CA, WA and ID Reject Efforts to Gut Local Zoning and Environmental Protections
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 8, 2006 Voters in CA, WA and ID Reject Efforts to Gut Local Zoning and Environmental Protections Using eminent domain as Trojan Horse fails to fool most voters CONTACT: Alex Goldschmidt, Smart Growth America, (202) 207-3355 x112, [email protected] Washington, DC – Voters in three key Western states Tuesday resoundingly rejected anti-taxpayer measures that sought to hamstring communities’ efforts to manage growth and protect property values and the environment. Foisted onto the ballots with millions from New York real estate mogul Howard Rich and his allied groups, the measures in California, Washington and Idaho would have mimicked a 2004 measure from Oregon, requiring taxpayers to pay landowners when a zoning or environmental protection reduced their speculative profits. If taxpayers couldn’t pay they would have to waive the rules, solely for those landowners. “Voters know their communities need to be able to make sound, local decisions in order to protect our neighborhoods, clean water and quality of life,” said Don Chen, executive director of Smart Growth America. “While our coalition doggedly defends the rights of individual property owners, these measures were really about crippling community planning and creating windfalls for certain speculators.” Only one of the four pay-or-waive measures, Arizona’s Proposition 207, was approved. There, Rich and company deceptively claimed the initiative was limited to restricting the use of eminent domain, and under-funded opponents lacked the resources to unmask the ruse amid 18 other ballot initiatives. Rich poured $1.5 million into the effort to undermine Arizona’s capacity to deal with its rapid growth and protect the state’s military bases from encroaching development.

  • Designing Eden: the Future of Rule Based City-Making
    CULTURAL PRODUCTION Designing Eden: The future of rule based city-making Maria Del C. Vera1, Shai Yeshayahu2 1University of Nevada Las Vegas, School of Architecture, Las Vegas, NV 2Ryerson University, School of Interior Design Toronto, ON ABSTRACT: The omnipresence of the algorithmic gaze is not just easing the capacity to crawl, index, and rank everything according to rule-based praxises but also shifting the dimensions of where, when, and how citizens move or circulate through the urban commons (O'Brien, 2018). In the absence of urban thinkers or participatory planning, these new alterations take place within the invisible peripheries of algorithms. This paper examines the change, and the spatial currencies reconditioned by the interplay of city-making and city-indexing as infrastructure, urban spaces, and built settings become indistinctively itemized. It recognizes that this is an ongoing process that continues to flatten, catalog, and index the physical characteristics of space which produces a virtual inventory of urban proportions subjecting city officials to accelerate the re-privatization, deregulation, and re-colonization of vast territories. It is within these transactions that we see a re-territorializing of the city's context and the uneven usage of spatial distribution underway. In the case of the American city, the range of impact caused by these emerging transactions is seemingly local, but we claim that the dynamics of city-indexing reverberate across different scales extending from local to regional, and national proportions. To depict our work, we choose a comparative method that aims to associate the impact of rule- base praxis with changes at the urban and regional scale.
