Pro-Sprawl Policies Help Make Milwaukee America’s Most Segregated Metro

Suburban whites are notably hostile to building any form of public transit to connect city people to suburban jobs, further exacerbating segregation’s ill effects.
If you’re wondering if this can somehow, some way, be blamed on union-busting Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the answer is yes. Walker took the lead in a campaign against public transit to connect the suburbs to the city during his time as county executive.

I usually post pretty maps on cartophile, but while this one lacks a certain aesthetic, it’s close to my heart. Milwaukee is my hometown and it’s really hard to see how divisive things have become over my lifetime. I disagree wholeheartedly with Walker’s policies, but this situation predated him, as the 2000 census makes clear (link opens large PDF). The solutions are complex and cannot be attributed to one politician or one legislative session. We must all take responsibility for how our individual choices impact these collective consequences.

Sprawl is no good for lots of reasons - here’s one

You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts. You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth. But that’s all.

I’m not crazy about this painting but I’m feeling some dumb guilt for not “tumbling” anything for a while.

Scribbledoo of some Poup Shep and some Krogan babbys. Krogans are my most favorite thing. Babies aren’t but I figure space turtle babies would be okay.

Deliberately changed Shep’s appearance since there aren’t any actual textured hair options in the game and she’s got stick arms by default. A girl can dream, though. A girl can dream.
