Lovely story, I also enjoy your cute diy transition graphics

And I’m amusing myself with the idea that the entire story was just to hype up Zora’s recipe at the end like one of those cooking blogs that has 1000 word essays before sharing the recipe you actually came for

Thank you, Ryan! Honestly, as I was finishing it I thought, “this almost feels like one of Ryan’s essays.” I’m glad you liked it!

I think you left out some important details.

Did she get a permit from the city to do business on municipal land?

Did she pay proper taxes, and pay into the state disability plan? What if she burned her fingers?

I hope it's obvious I'm joking, and it's amazing you're giving her this experience

Yes, let’s build cities that prioritize kids, but don’t give away your daughter’s IP

Great job, Zora! Great job, parents! And, Andrew, please PLEASE build that city. My family would LOVE to live there! It’s our dream, too.

Love the way this was written! I think about this a lot - how do I afford a liveable, walkable city for my future kids
