Jeff Wood and I talk about the news of the week that most tickled us or burned us -- the BBC's exposé of anti-social urban design features intended to repel people, San Francisco's social tensions over the Google bus, and the decision by Cincinnati's new mayor and City Council to "pause" construction of the streetcar.

Meanwhile, I wax nostalgic for public space in Havana and Jeff laments slow progress on San Francisco's Geary Boulevard BRT.
