Johnny Sanphillippo wants to get things done. He is a self-identified old-school San Fransisco liberal.  But more than that Johnny is a pragmatist.  Sometimes it seems he has a language seemingly all his own.  Like Yak Shaving.  What the hell is Yak Shaving?

On his blog Granola Shotgun he has offered to the willing some ideas of stay-under-the-radar development patterns that may just start a revolution someday.  Or maybe just help you get that ADU in your backyard in without initiating a revolt between you and your municipal authorities.

Johnny sites some real world examples of his own making and in doing so he informs us on what we are all capable of doing when we alter our persepctive.

Wait until you hear about the condo-ized cow.

Why care?  Because we're going to need to do something with all this suburban excess.  It's here.  We're here.  You need to live and work somewhere, right?
