Though not mentioned in the Gospel, Church Scholars agree there are seven deadly sins: gluttony sloth, lust, greed, envy, wrath and pride.

Which one is gonna kill your city?
🧵 Thread

Gluttony: too much parking, too many drive thrus, too many big box stores.

Sloth: choosing the simpleton way of financing every new project with taxes alone.

Lust: the vulgar courtship of out of town tourist money.

Greed: city ordinance code never stops regulating more and more and more aspects of human action.

Envy: making policy on the basis of the idea that some cities are richer at the expense of poorer ones.

Wrath: turning necessary justice into senseless revenge.

Pride: refusing to accept that cities exist in ecosystems that require big, small, rich, modest, local and global.
