A banner advertisement at the top of the Christian Science Monitor's article on Columbus's attempt to the solve the perennial homeless problem — by giving them homes — pointed to a PLANetizen editorial on the top planning issues of 2002. Maybe they meant 2003. Any way, PLANetizen is an urban planning site, with some RSS feeds, and an aggregator. I didn't know about the site before, and I'm glad I saw the advertisement.

Advertising, when it works well, by meeting my needs, is welcome. Unfortunately so much of it is unwelcome. Then there are the out-right lies. The on-line advertising industry really needs pricing models that discourage fraud.
