Aaron Renn has an interesting blog, called The Urbanphile.

I was lead there from one of my favorite websites, Joel Kotkin’s
Newgeography.com.

Both writers are urbanists, concerned with cities and city life, and
both are suspicious about current urban trends and their long-term
implications.

Mass. Inc. publishes Commonwealth magazine and it increasingly
essential website,

All three arise from a decline in mainstream journalism. Their
writers share an attention to facts and are alarmed that those facts
are ignored in favor of loudly proclaimed intentions.
