    Oakland Museum of California will unveil its campus refresh in June after lengthy closure – The Architect’s Newspaper - May 22, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    With its landmark multi-terraced campus freshly renovated and ready to be enjoyed, the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) has announced it will reopen to the public on June 18 after a protracted closure that, not too dissimilar from Washington, D.C.s National Building Museum, was due to a combination of planned construction work and the COVID-19 crisis.

    Like OMCAs substantial phased renovation and expansion project that necessitated shuttering museum galleries from 2009 through 2013, the exteriors-focused campus overhaul also involved San Francisco-based Mark Cavagnero Associates as project architect, this time working with MacArthur Fellowship-winning landscape architect, artist, and urban designer Walter Hood of Oaklands Hood Design Studio.

    While OMCA visitors will return to a museum thats more familiar than not, they will notice alterations and additions to the campus including newly planted terrace gardens, improved accessibility, a new Tanya Holland-helmed cafe (opening later this summer), reinstalled sculptures from the museums collection, and outdoor furnitureseating, tables, and moredesigned by Oakland-based artist Binta Ayofemi. Dubbed Portals, Ayofemis series of Oakland-inspired outdoor furnishings are intended to encourage a more comfortable and longer visitor experience, according to the museum. OMCA has also announced that opening later this summer will be the museums first major temporary exhibition since its closure: Mothership: Voyage Into Afrofuturism.

    Famed for its lush gardens, expansive lawn, koi pond and reflecting pool, and terrace-topped tri-level museum building constructed from concrete and glass, OMCAs seven-acre lakefront campus was originally designed by Kevin Roche in collaboration with landscape architects Dan Kiley and Geraldine Knight Scott, with the latter overseeing the plantings. In 1995, 26 years after it first opened to the public, the park-like modernist museum complex was listed as an Oakland Designated Landmark. (The Cultural Landscape Foundation has an excellent overview of the OMCA campus landscape.)

    As for OMCA itself, the interdisciplinary Bay Area institution is focused exclusively on the art and design, history, and natural sciences hailing from and relating to the Golden State; the museums collection of design objects and painting from the American Craftsman movement is of particular note. OMCA, formerly known as simply the Oakland Museum, was established in the mid-1960s following the merger of three different Oakland-based museums: the Snow Museum of Natural History, Oakland Public Museum, and the Oakland Art Gallery.

    At its 1969 opening, Ada Louise Huxtable wrote in the New York Times of the landscape-integrated, three-in-one museum: In terms of design and environment the Oakland Museum may be one of the most thoughtfully revolutionary structures in the world.

    As for the renovation particulars, the Hood- and Cavagnero-led design team, which began the project in the fall of 2019, oversaw several major campus enhancements including the removal of a border wall along the museums northern side, the creation of a new entrance that opens up the campus along the 12th Street, and improved pedestrian accessibility along 10th Street.

    The museums 26,400-square-feet of gardens are now also home to completely new native plantings; each garden representsbotanically speaking a distinct ecoregion of California. Upgrades to the infrastructure will better integrate the gardens with the in-gallery exhibitions and activities and make OMCAs outdoor sculptures, which have been reinstalled, more visible, explained the museum in a news release. Ruth Asawa, Viola Frey, Betty Gold, Bruce Beasley, Peter Voulkos, and Beniamino Bufano are among the California artists with sculptures (some of which were spiffed-up as part of the campus makeover) populating the landscape.

    Per the museum, $15 million in restricted funds raised as part of the $85 million All In! The Campaign for OMCA capital campaign went toward the soon-to-debut campus revitalization.

    We are thrilled to finally be reopening, and to welcome back the community that has done so much to help sustain us during this challenging time, said OMCA director and CEO Lori Fogarty in a statement. Were excited to share the updates that have taken place on campus during the closure, which have enhanced the Museums role as a public gathering place by creating new spaces for the community to convene.

    Following its June 18 reopening, OMCA will observe initial operating hours of 11:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. on Fridays through Sundays. Admission on the first three days of its reopening with be free to the community.

    4 Remote Vacation Spots to Unplug and Recharge – Hospitality Design - May 22, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    From a breathtaking spa resort in Italy to a respectfully restored property in India, these four remote retreats offer guests one-of-a-kind, truly immersive experiences.

    Located in RAAS Chhatrasagars central court, the all-season infinity pool borders Baradari restaurant

    Perched atop a nearly 150-year-old dam with sprawling views, RAAS Chhatrasagar celebrates the 800 acres of pristine forestland in the town of Nimaj, India. Courtesy of Studio Lotus, the property is a revamp of a seasonal camp into a year-round destination that captures the one-with-nature essence that has attracted guests there for years.

    Laid out in a linear configuration along the length of the reservoir, the property is home to a central court that doubles as the reception and Baradari restaurant; an all-season infinity pool and small garden; and 16 tented pods that border the camp. As guests make their way from a drop-off area surrounded by a dense grove of trees to the courtyard, the dam slowly comes into focus, framing views of the lake. The site is revealed in layers, explains Studio Lotus principal Ambrish Arora, uniting the experience of discovery with an element of surprise by working in harmony with the context and tying numerous touchpoints to establish meaningful connections.

    The New Delhi-based firm also paid special attention to the sites sensitive ecological context, ensuring that any new addition to the property had a minimal footprint. To that end, the new camp is imagined as a system of low-impact foundations and lightweight superstructures that blend with the environment. Further, much of the design connects with the outdoors, featuring decks for lounging, skylights that filter in natural light, and vibrant fabrics that nod to the flora and fauna native to the region. These subtle design moments bring the focus back to the lush setting. The sunrises over the lake and sunsets into the forest are an integral part of the guest experience, Arora adds.

    Terme di Saturnia is centered around 3,000-year-old thermal springs, which served as inspiration for the resorts redesign

    Nestled in the southern part of Tuscany, the 132-room wellness retreat Terme di Saturnia is known for its thermal springs. Here, crystal blue waters flow from the top of Mount Amiata to an underground river forming the pool that is a highlight of the luxury golf and spa resort, which has been recently redesigned as it celebrates its 102nd year.

    The concept from THDPderived from a sense of belonging to the land and a deep attachment to nature and its cyclescomes alive in a color palette of earthy gold and rich water hues that reflect the celestial quality of the natural pool. Once the water flows down to the waterfall, it becomes cooler and the chemical reaction changes the color to a very delicate aqua green, explains Manuela Mannino, partner and founder of the London-based firm.

    The building dates back to 1919, so the design had to pay respect to both its history and the famous springs. In the serene lobby and reception area, the firm interpreted the elements of earth, air, and water into pieces like handmade glazed ceramic tiles that are the same shade as the pool and a toile de jouy wallpaper that represents the countryside.

    TDHP also translated the ideas of reflection, corrosion, erosion, and ripples into subtle design moments. For instance, suspended lanterns and two large ceiling installations in the public spaces allude to the reflections of water.

    From the view of the crisp blue and turquoise hues on a sunny day or observing the steam floating on the waters surface late at night and first thing in the morning, it is literally an immersive experience, says Mannino. There is a deep ancestral connection with the water in Saturnia.

    The curved pool deck and infinity pool overlook the dazzling landscape beyond the property

    Nestled in a transformative place where desert, mountains, the sea, and five acres of family-owned farms meet is the 35-suite Paradero Todos Santos, a sustainable resort that blends into its picturesque surroundings. The experience-driven hideaway looks like it emerged from the soil, says Bibiana Huber, creative director at B-Huber, the Guadalajara-based firm tasked with the hotels interiors. That is the magic of the project.

    Along with Yektajo & Valdez Architects and landscape architects Polen, Huber crafted a bohemian, earthy aesthetic, complete with a natural material palette of Tornillo timber, black metal, and sand-colored concrete. From daybeds that appear carved from the earth to cushioned star netshammocks suspended across rooftop suitesguests are immediately immersed in nature. The desert-inspired tones are only enhanced by the half-moon infinity pool and a 100,000-square-foot botanic garden that is home to 60 endemic plant species, including produce that is used in the restaurants Oaxacan-inspired dishes.

    Suites, accessed via a series of paths in the central garden, continue the muted design scheme. Once inside, one rediscovers the landscape through a sequence of inside-outside spaces, which blur the lines between the property and the environment, says Ruben Valdez, principal at Yektajo & Valdez Architects. Soothing and sanctuary-like, the minimalist interiors incorporate elementsfrom large stones to plantersthat complement textured patterns on walls and headboards, while the base of large soaking tubs on patios extend into the terrain for a deeper connection to the land.

    The open-air living room hums with activity while also instilling a sense of calm. Here, woven rugs, Tornillo stools, and low armchairs are interspersed with Yucatan hammocks and plush jute cushions. [We focused] on textures, colors, and smells that harmonize with the context, says Valdez. The selection of the materials aims to understand luxury not as a material idea, but rather an experiential one.

    The PokoPoko clubhouse consists of three attached buildings, defined by their roof cone structure made from local pine using traditional Japanese carpentry

    Found in Japans Nasu Highlands farming region, known for the Mount Nasu volcanoes, PokoPoko brings a sense of joy and playfulness to the existing Risonare Nasu hotel. In addition to renovating the hotel, Tokyo-based firm Klein Dytham Architecture designed the clubhouse, which features three roof cones made from local pine that peek out from the trees. Supported by plywood beams and a central steel ring beam, the wooden structure uses traditional Japanese carpentry details to create interlocking forms, says firm cofounder Mark Dytham.

    The clubhouse, which is connected to the hotels two existing complexes via a new route and footbridge, was designed with families in mind, fostering a sense of connection and togetherness that is now more important than ever. On one end is an indoor playground with a tall white net structure and a ball pit. The opposite side offers an open fireplace for parents to lounge around while taking in the 360-degree views of the surrounding nature; the middle is a space for cooking with a large pizza oven. The act of discovery was also important to the design concept. It reveals itself magically in the forest, Dytham says. We want people to wonder what it is and be drawn closer.

    What Is the Future of Gambling? – South Florida Caribbean News - May 22, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Gambling is one of those taboo activities that people keep partaking in despite the fact that its viewed by most of the population as something irresponsible. However, one cannot deny the appeal and the mass adoption despite the somewhat unclear regulations in certain areas.

    This is the main reason why online gambling has only increased within jurisdictions that dont allow physical gambling whatsoever. Not to mention that it has also increased thanks to the restrictions imposed by the authorities during the Covid-19 pandemic. But one might wonder what will happen to gambling as a whole even after all this madness is over. Lets find out.

    During the 2010s, gambling as a whole saw somewhat of a rise among people aged between 25 and 40 years. However, the sector that saw a drastic increase was the online gambling segment. And it all culminated in 2020 once the coronavirus restrictions were set in place.

    But even so, despite online gamblings rise, physical gambling took a huge hit, and the profits made from the online medium arent enough to subsidize brick and mortar casinos. The recent market report perfectly showed how the online segment has drastically grown, not only thank to Covid-19, but also thanks to esports wagering and the recognition of video games as truly competitive sports.

    As of now, online gambling is still on top of brick-and-mortar casinos and physical sportsbooks thanks to the fact that restrictions are still set in place within many states. However, that might soon change once a large part of the population starts getting completely immunized to the virus.

    You see, psychologically speaking, many people miss huge social gatherings, so we might see a drastic increase in casino goers at first. However, that number might soon drop down again once people realize that its much more convenient to just place bets online.

    It is safe to say that the landscape wont necessarily change in the coming years. But it will be vastly improved. New options, like virtual reality or live casinos, have already hit the scenes, and theyre spicing up existing communities like never before.

    But there are also other amenities that have and will accelerate online gamblings growth even further. For example, blockchain technology has been successfully used to facilitate lower transactional fees and faster payouts towards bettors. And with the help of current security protocols, the users privacy and money are safer than ever.

    Furthermore, the ability to transaction in any currency (including cryptocurrencies) is yet another enticing thing about online gambling. It will be interesting to see how it will affect the crypto market once this trends becomes mainstream.

    If youre a sports bettor yourself, then you might have started your so-called career by betting with your friends. This is the so-called peer-to-peer style of gambling, similar to the concept of peer-to-peer that you see when torrenting. It essentially means from person to person.

    The thing is that many gambling enthusiasts and industry leaders believe that this type of betting will soon start to make a return. But how does this work when you want to bet online? Well, in this case, the casino works more like a third party that facilitates the action rather than the house itself. Youre not betting against the house, but against other individuals.

    All the money goes inside the same common pool, and the winners take their winnings from said pool while the casino can charge a small upfront fee for operating said pool or it can just take a percentage from the winnings themselves.

    What do you think the future of gambling will look like? Feel free to leave us a comment with your thoughts, be them researched or not. Its always fun to speculate about this kind of things. So lets get the discussion started and wage on our favorite outcomes!

    Study: Decline in local journalism increases political polarization | TheHill – The Hill - May 22, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The death of local newspapers increases political polarization and straight-ticket voting, according to the authors of a new study from researchers at MIT, Yale and French university Sciences Po.

    As national news outlets win out over local papers, the study found, people view politics through a national lens and split-ticket voting tends to decline.

    An often-unexplored consequence of the disappearance of local news is the fact that local politics will become increasingly determined by national matters, said Charles Angelucci, one of the study'scoauthors.

    In turn, voters become more polarized, Angelucci argues, as political discourse is driven less by what happens locally.

    In the past people may have voted for different presidential candidates but for the same local officials. This created some degree of commonality, he said.

    These days, it is very likely that if two persons disagree about their preferred presidential candidate they also disagree about their preferred local politician. More straight ticket voting is yet another manifestation of greater polarization, Angelucci added.

    The study, authored by Angelucci from MIT, Julia Cage from Sciences Po Paris, and Michael Sinkinsonfrom Yale, comes as the decline in local journalism has accelerated.

    A separate study released by the Pew Research Center on Friday found that one-third of large-circulation U.S. newspapers laid off staff last year.

    And since 2004, the U.S. has lost 2,100 publications, or one-fourth of its newspapers, according to a 2020 report from the Hussman School of Journalism and Media at the University of North Carolina.

    Angeluccis study examined how the growth of TV affected finances and content at 1,963 daily newspapers from 1944 to 1964 and matched those results against county-level election data on House, Senate and presidential races from roughly the same time.

    The era was ideal for studying the decline in local news, the authors wrote, because TV had technical limitations, forcing it to report national news, while newspapers provided both local and national content.

    Prior to the advent of TV, party affiliation was less important for local politicians than community issues or their personal reputations, the study said. As a result, people often voted for one party locally and another nationally.

    The extent to which national matters influenced local politics was low the study said. Split-ticket voting was relatively common and, if anything, growing.

    But as TVs popularity grew, local papers experienced financial pressure and produced less content. The number of stories published in local papers decreased by 6.6 percent, the study said, and that decline was in turn driven mainly by a 10.1% drop in original local news stories.

    As a result, voters increasingly saw elections as referendums on national debates and fewer people split their tickets between two parties.

    The studys findings, the authors wrote, have implications for the modern media landscape.

    New media outlets [internet and cable news] have affected both how information is produced and consumed and have weakened the traditional economic model of local print media, the study said.

    The resulting decline in the production and consumption of local news could have far-reaching political and social consequences, which we are only beginning to fully appreciate.

    ‘Princess and the Frog’ a funny, fine, follow-your-dreams musical – Chestnut Hill Local - May 22, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    by Bill Wine

    Each week, veteran film critic Bill Wine will look back at an important film that is worth watching, either for the first time or again.

    As if further proof were needed that we live in the Golden Age of Animation, along comes The Princess and the Frog.

    Instant classic.

    Withcomputer-generated cartoons dominatingthe 2009 animation landscape, this "throwback," the first traditionally animated that is, hand-drawn Disney feature since 2004,is a reinvention of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale, "The Frog Prince."

    And it's an original and irresistible musical taking its place alongside The Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King with its music first among equals. In a film with so many admirable features, it's tough to know where to start the gushing praise.

    It's also a reminder of just how warm and lush and expressive and vibrant and smooth and flowing and utterly captivating 2-D animation can be: this one bursts with life.

    An ageless fable with a twist, itcenters onTiana (Anika Noni Rose) Disney's first African-American heroine a hardworking waitresswho lives and works in the French Quarter in New Orleans during the Jazz Age of the 1920s, and yearns to own and operate her own restaurant.

    WhenPrince Naveen of Maldonia, on a visit tothe Big Easy, cuts a deal withvoodoo practitioner Dr. Facilier, the latter turns him into a frog. His hope is that, given the legend,a kiss from a beautiful woman like Tiana will turn him back into a human. But when they kiss, something unexpected happens.

    Suddenly it's amphibians on parade, and if things are ever to get back to normal and the spell is to be reversed, Tiana and Naveen will have to make it back to New Orleans via the alligator-infested bayou.

    Co-directors Ron Clements and John Musker eschew the celebrity-voiceapproach (although Oprah Winfrey and Terrence Howardchime in briefly as young Tiana's parents). Instead, they castspeaking and singing voices rather than names with accomplished performers who may not necessarily be marquee names.

    And they give theirlayered, cleverly scriptednarrative a tremendous sense of time and especially place: This is, among other things, an eloquentlove letter to The Crescent City.

    But the shining star is composer Randy Newman. His gloriously melodiousscore a musical gumbo of Dixieland jazz, blues, gospel,zydeco, and Tin Pan Alleykeeps topping itselfas atoe-tapping, finger-snapping, lemme-hear-that-again delight for young and old.

    Newmans songs garnered two of the films three Oscar nods, and the film was also nominated for Best Animated Feature. Box office returns, however, were modest at best.

    As for the co-directors' handling of the lavish musical production numbers, as they'refueled by Newman's great songs, it's nothing short of superb. Broadway numbers should carry us away this completely.

    A funny and fine follow-your-dreamsmusical, the G-rated The Princess and the Frog is a tuneful 'toon that will make you swoon.

    Bill Wine is an Emmy-winning film critic who served in that capacity for WTXF and KYW Newsradio. He lives in Chestnut Hill.

    Take a Rare Look At This Portage Course By Revered Golf Architect – wbckfm.com - May 22, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Golf in itself offers many challenges - the perfect swing, a solid connection between club and ball, the weather and course conditions. When they all combine at one place, offering a challenge and beauty at the same time, your round is more rewarding. Though the swing can be self-controlled, some of the other factors may go unnoticed, especially when it comes to the design of a golf course and its upkeep. That's where the golf architect comes into play.

    Name recognition from professional golfers like the late Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus have designed courses once their peak of professional play came to an end. Palmer has six-designed courses in the Wolverine State (The Ravines in Saugatuck is the closest in Southwest Michigan). The Ohio-born Nicklaus has five in the neighbor to the north including American Dunes in Grand Haven, which opened just this month. The Golf Club at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor has hosted four Senior PGA Championships, every other year since 2012 (except for 2020 due to COVID-19) and has become a destination for golf fans alike.

    Other golf course designers would rather stay out of the limelight and provide the best golf experience. That is what one designer did for five decades.

    Former president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects and fellow Midwest-bred architect Arthur Hills passed away in his home town of Toledo on Tuesday, May 18that the age of 91. Hills played golf at Michigan State University and later attended the University of Michigan for landscape architecture. He then returned to Toledo to form the architectural firm Hills-Forrest-Smith in the 1960s.

    During that time, Hills had a hand in designing over 200 courses and redesigned over 150 other courses, either of his own or other courses. Fellow Midwestern designed Pete Dye, who passed away in 2020, coined Hills as the "Mayor of Naples" for the several courses he designed in that region of Florida.

    While most of the courses he designed were in the Sunshine State, Hills also tapped into his Michigan roots with 23 designs and 25 renovations. While the redesigns at Gull Lake Country Club, Point O' Woods Golf and Country Club in Benton Harbor, Forest Akers East and West in East Lansing and the University of Michigan courses were done in the 1990s, one Southwest Michigan course is truly his design.

    Originally drafted in 1978 and completed a year later, The Moors Golf Club in Portage hits every note on the design philosophy that Hills had made. Crafting the course around the Woodbridge Hills area of Portage provides several scenic views whilepreserving the natural marsh that the course was built on. Hills was also one of the first designers to have courses recognized as part of the Audubon Signature Sanctuary, which protects the environment and preserves the natural heritage of golf. These courses enhance natural area while minimalizing harmful impacts on the environment. The Moors was one of the first Audubon Signature sanctuaries. Local courses like the six Gull Lake Viewcourses are also members of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program.

    The Moors is also the only Michigan courseHills designed that he returned to help renovate. Those new adaptations occurred in 2015. Though Hills did most of his designs for private clubs (like The Moors) and resorts like Bay Harbor in Petoskey, there are a few courses you can play that has the Hills name on the course design (more on that next week).

    Not many have been able to play The Moors (I have just once), but here's just a little taste of what you will find on the west side of Portage.

    Renowned Golf Architect Arthur Hills, who passed away at the age of 91 on May 18, 2021, has graced over 200 courses worldwide and made renovations to 150 courses in over six decades. One on the 23 new courses he designed was The Moors Golf Club in Portage, Michigan. The private course opened in 1978 and has seen some renovations in 2015.

    A bridge to equality and prosperity | TheHill – The Hill - May 22, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Before there were bridges, there was danger.

    During Americas earliest days as a nation, our dreams of westward expansion were crushed by the realities of geography. The Midwestern terrain was vast and uncompromising. And while an ox pulling a wagon could carry a small shipment from New York to Ohio, it certainly couldnt bear the weight of a fledgling national economy.

    Then came the Erie Canal. When its builders first broke ground in 1817, they not only unearthed the nations first transportation and shipping network into the frontier; they unearthed a new era of American prosperity.

    That ambitious project, derided by some politicians at the time as a needless boondoggle, laid the foundation for our nations modern economy. It fueled the advent of new industries, which created jobs, which provided a vital source of stability to American families and communities.

    Now, two centuries later, its time to lay a new foundation for American prosperity.

    Last month, during his first joint address before Congress, President BidenJoe BidenTrump slams 'weak' Republicans who don't want to talk about Arizona audit FDA advises against Chinese-made syringes citing safety issues On The Money: Biden tries to navigate bumpy recovery | Jobless claims hit another post-pandemic low | Treasury calls for 15 percent minimum global tax MORE outlined his vision for Americas future: the American Jobs Plan and the American Families Plan.

    If passed into law, both plans, like the Erie Canal before them, will achieve much more than merely building new roads and waterways. They will unleash an economic force in which working- and middle-class families are at the center of our nations growth.

    I can think of no better moment for this once-in-a-generation investment in our workers, our families, and our children.

    Over the past year, the pandemic has revealed a sobering truth that working Americans know intimately well: our national fabric is fraying under the stress of inequality. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs since last March. Working parents have been thrust into the dual, full-time roles of breadwinner and caregiver. And millions of schoolchildren have been unable to carry on their studies at home due to a lack of broadband connectivity. Meanwhile, the 650 wealthiest Americans increased their net worth by $1 trillion. Our economy is failing to reward middle-class Americans, and is instead lavishing the well-to-do with even more wealth.

    This is not a new story, but its one the pandemic has laid bare.

    At the same time, the past year has revealed another, more heartening truth: our nation is still capable of achieving awesome logistical feats. If youre reading this, theres a good chance youve already received your first vaccine against COVID-19. But just one year ago, some experts predicted it would take more than a decade to distribute vaccines across America. Today, nine in ten Americans live within five miles of a vaccination site.

    Under the leadership of President Biden, we have marshaled the resources, skills, and technologies of America to save countless lives. Now, we can do it once more to build a more equitable and prosperous nation.

    And unlike the COVID-19 vaccine, we dont need to conduct months of clinical trials and studies to understand how we can eradicate the disease of inequality. While the coronavirus may have first appeared a little over a year ago, the inequalities plaguing America today have been with us since the beginning. In 2021, they are found in the form of transportation deserts, which leave millions of Americans without a reliable, efficient way to get to and from work. Or in the form of the exorbitant costs of child care, which stop working parents from having a safe place to leave their child while theyre at work. These injustices also manifest in the form of lead pipes and service lines, which continue to threaten the safety of our drinking water and health and development of our children especially Black and brown children in cities like Chicago.

    Like the early days of the American frontier, our economic landscape today is grueling and uncompromising. A persons grit and determination can only get them so far. Many Americans who work a full time job, 40 hours a week, still cannot afford the costs of housing, child care, transportation, and health care. Working families are living on the knifes edge of America.

    We must once again transform this challenging land into traversable terrain. And we can do it by not only building new transportation networks, but by building new bridges to equality and prosperity. The American Jobs Plan will put people to work building sustainable, energy efficient homes, creating good-paying jobs, and easing the skyrocketing costs of housing. The American Families Plan will make universal, high-quality pre-school a reality for every American.

    And this is just the beginning. If fully implemented, the American Jobs and Families Plans will lay the foundation our nation needs to win the 21st century, just like the Erie Canal and other early infrastructure projects did in the 19th century. They will set America on course to own the clean-energy economy, so we can export our American-made electric vehicles and batteries to markets across the globe, and lead the world in addressing the greatest existential threat facing us all: climate change.

    President Biden has proposed an ambitious undertaking that is rooted in a great American tradition: cultivating our nations potential. Centuries ago, that potential was defined by the wealth of resources hidden beneath our land, or growing from our soil. Things have changed.

    Today, our nations greatest resource is the American people. But they are struggling to keep pace in a rapidly changing world. We can fix that. We can replace our crumbling foundation with a new one. And we can confront longstanding racial and economic inequities in the process.

    With the American Jobs and Families Plans, we can build a nation that puts working families first.
