So, this is my first blog and first blog posting ever. Welcome to what I'm sure will prove to be an awkward, fun, and embarrassing exercise.
URB 240: Week 1:
The first thing that stood out in the first class was the notion that a government's inaction may be considered a form of policy. It makes perfect sense now that it's been explained. But, it hadn't occurred to me before. The other thing that stood out was the fairly passionate back and forth that went on in the class. I'm all for making a point. As long as its not long winded and it stays on topic. Just sayin'. Maybe that's the military "just the facts" and "get to the point already" side of me kicking in. I'll need to check that at the door next time. Speaking of the military, I met two other veterans that are attending the class. It is great to see such a diverse group of students in this class. It seems like a nice mix of cultures, ages, and backgrounds. I'm looking forward to hearing urban policy perspectives that come from people with such varied experiences.
