The blog has been getting hit with hundreds of spam comments, and so I've turned on the registration process. Now, when you go to post a comment, you'll be asked to become a registered user with Type Key. It's easy to create an account, which you then activate via email.
One of the goals of this blog is to foster an open community discussion. I hope you'll take the few minutes to register and continue participating. By screening out the ad posts, we'll keep the comments area focused on our ever-growing dialogue on the city's future.
Thanks for understanding.
