Where Did the Village Go?
Lauren Penn, the creator of Strong Neighborhoods, sat down with Tiffany Owens of Strong Towns to talk about what happens when a scary crosswalk crash turns into years of local advocacy — and how the design of a street ends up shaping the daily load carried by parents, especially mothers.
The conversation traces her path from that one intersection to organizing with her local Strong Towns group, rethinking her own front yard, and giving her kids more independence on their block.It’s a candid look at how “unsafe streets” and “exhausted parents” are often the same problem wearing two different names — and what a neighborhood could offer instead.
