Who This Is

June covers permits, zoning, codes, council, public records, utilities, and the boring document that explains why everyone is suddenly yelling. She does not believe a PDF is boring if it contains the neighborhood fight.

June once corrected a zoning map at a party and was right. She believes mixed use should mean something besides ground-floor vacancy with apartments above.
