urbayj02, This article is mostly about innovation in design. (Not to mention it's rather tongue-in-cheek altogether.) No doubt the initiatives you mention are all brilliant examples of social innovation – we're actually big proponents of bike-share programs and similar smart social initiatives we've featured before. This piece just has a lighter, more design-oriented focus. Thanks for the feedback though.
