Goin' to Shantytown

Check this stuff out! Lee Running passed this info onto me for the
Moving Crew so I'm posting it here. Really interesting stuff. Lines up
with the Istanbul proposal as well. I'm sure Cesco knows of other
stuff like this too.

chilean architecture firm doing public housing - interesting website
with models (look for iquique under housing - that's a project of
their's that's been running and successful).

so I went to see the three walls show and it was a huge disappointment. which outlines how much the moving crew rocks in comparison. the guy had a great idea with the bartering but it came off lame. and there really wasn't anything shantytown about it. so let's avoid this kid's table action and shake the b-underground like an earthquake that will displace (if only temporarily) hundreds of omaha-ians.
