Worldly Wednesday 🌏 Any 2-story rowhouse in Tokyo, the owner can operate a restaurant, boutique, or small workshop on the ground floor. That gives the city an incredible supply of potential unique microspaces that are affordable for entrepreneurs. Ottawa should legalize this.
Homelessness is a housing affordability problem. The price of housing is set by supply and demand in the market. When we don’t have enough homes, vacancy rates fall, rents go up, and more people become homeless. It’s a supply problem!
The YIMBY argument is that we have 600,000 homeless people despite having 16M vacant homes because of a lack of supply. The ratio above suggests supply isn't the immediate barrier to housing people. The immediate barrier to housing people is a lack of political will to act.
Austin's min lot size reform is great but remember: Never accept the claim that a city has "run out of land" The roof of every apartment building is land. The roof of every library is land. The roof of every school is land. Get building.
Austin: Let's reduce the minimum lot size to 2k sqf... NYC: Let's build 20k sqf on top of an existing building with a cantilever..
Read about how a local town with our support is trying to pre-approve plots for over 900 beautiful homes in their community and the main challenge is coming from …. (checks notes) the local planning authority. createstreets.com/projects/chesh…
The mismatch between housing supply and buyer demand is the worst in the Nation in the Northeast. This explains why, despite continued high interest rates, housing prices continue to rise. We need to build a lot more housing.
76% of real estate agents say buyers outnumber sellers nationally, per our survey. Limited new home construction doesn’t add enough supply to meet buyer demand.
3: Free Work. I don’t pay myself for design or development on a project like this. That work just gets rolled as equity. In the past, banks have counted my hypothetical Arch. fee—that might not be relevant now that you’re likely to hit a DSCR ceiling before LTC.
2: Separate Parcels. I divided and purchased the backyard and house separately. That way I can get a construction loan on the fourplex without it being subordinate to the home mortgage.
1: Alley Access. Without alleys, this would be impossible to park and rather awkward to access generally.
Currently building a four unit super ADU to occupy my former backyard. Here are a few things that made this work:
Children are both a cause for optimism and a product of optimism.
Man, my optimism level just shot through the roof. I just finished a short interview with a Montessori classroom about some philosophical stuff, 7th and 8th grade. Wow. The level of these kids blew me away. Confident, clear-headed, earnest, thoughtful. The interview was led…
My biggest question when I first heard @CAForever's new city proposal was whether it would be resilient to climate So I researched the key issues & wrote a post about what I found out about...: - Flood risk - Fire risk - Water access
Starting today, I will post an inspiring new micro-community site plan every Wednesday. FIRST UP? The Muloma Cultural Center African Diaspora Land Trust was designed for St Helana Island in South Carolina by Allison Ramsey Architects, a design partner of mine. Follow for more.
Something I hadn't really considered previously, but this visit to Tokyo drove home for me, is how sidewalks are largely unnecessary on streets that are otherwise designed for slow vehicle speeds. Woonerfs also do this, but at dramatically higher cost.
Landlords can only get away with this kind of thing because New York City has a 1.4% vacancy rate. We should build more homes in places where people want to live so that landlords are forced to compete for tenants.
A big change in Amsterdam's real estate game: I've noticed many more electric bikes cruising the streets in the last 2-3 years; they have become mainstream. What created something surprising: a dozen people around me started to buy/rent houses in the purple circle. Something…
