Legalizing housing in our central cities and inner suburbs prevents this type of ecologically devastating fringe sprawl.
A new housing development near Lake Stevens is bulldozing a forest and calling itself The Timbers.

I asked a child what their fave book from last year was and their answer was a series that was published about a decade ago. A good reminder that a book is always new to a child who hasn't read it. The constant publishing hustle for novelty has nothing to do with what children want. #KidLitUK
