I’ve known Steven for several years through our interactions on City committees, and I learned much more about his positions and the way he makes decisions during a recent 1.5-hour meeting with him. We covered issues ranging from the dysfunctional bollards on East Avenue to establishing a permanent greenbelt north and east of the City. He is a very knowledgeable and pragmatic person who can think at a strategic level but also understands the detailed issues facing City staff.

First synthesized in 1888 as a dye, TATB (1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene) was not recognized as a high explosive until 1956 when it was reported that TATB possesses a combination of performance properties, high thermal stability, and low impact sensitivity 1. Now, decades later, TATB is widely regarded as the most established insensitive high explosive. However, despite having been widely used, the thermal decomposition kinetics of TATB remain elusive.

Regardless, it is important in the days of high housing prices to address the question of whether building taller apartments or condominiums would increase or decrease housing unit costs.
