Anna Maria Ponzi

Just read "Pinot Girl," by Anna Maria Ponzi, a fun memoir of the birth of Oregon's wine industry. Amazing how even Portland restaurants in the 1970s scoffed at Oregon Pinot Noir -- until it began beating French Pinot Noir in blind tastings.

America's housing system is broken, with homelessness exacerbated by bad policy that creates shortages (in Oregon, we're short 130,000 housing units). I just read @jenny_schuetz's new book on how to fix the housing system, "Fixer-Upper." Much recommended.

Terrific podcast discussion with @StanfordLaw prof @MWildeAnderson about her new book "The Fight to Save the Town," about places that are impoverished and broke--but rich in citizens trying to rebuild them. https://t.co/uATDHG6Shz One of her examples is Josephine Co, Oregon.
