The jokes usually start to flow in after a crisis begins. Right now, Instagram is full of gallows humor about a global pandemic. While some of the jokes are hilarious, many of them are not.

However, this general espousal got my mind wandering in an entirely new direction: How liveable are the spaces we occupy?
