Santa Ve

I am spending this week in New Mexico where I plan to get the ball rolling on the Santa Ve organization that will connect Santa Fe and Venice, two small cities that share a lot despite their physical distance. Their populations are practically identical (around 62,000 people); they are both seat of regional/state government; they are both heavily dependent on tourism and both have peculiar problems that are unique yet representative of broader uban issues. Look for more posts from Santa Fe this week!
