Progressives when you talk about putting small apartment buildings in single family neighbourhoods.
We need tenant protections where there is so much housing that landlords have to compete for you to live there.
Want your city to go broke and become unlivable at the same time? This is how you do it.

That is, of course, the idea. Same with limiting supply based on parking or vague notions of "density". The appropriate "density" and neighborhood "character" is often, coincidentally, exactly how things were when a given individual moved in. No more no less. 🤔
The real reason why liberals are moving to Texas.

today's urbanist hot take is that we should abolish historical designation. full stop, no caveats, just get rid of it wholesale. if the city thinks a building is really that historically important they should just buy it and turn it into a museum.
Berkeley has been a university town for exactly 150 years. I am 𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙 of hearing people complain about students being "noisy" or "taking up parking." <~10% of UC students drive to campus, and no student living within a 15 min walk of campus is likely to drive there
Every North American city says they have a parking problem or a traffic problem. Let’s call it what it is. Every North American city has a car problem.
The Berkeley co-housing experiment, where a community offers up money to build a complex & buy their homes, gave up and couldn't finance affordable units due to costs. Showing that developers pay for inclusionary units by raising rents on other units berkeleyside.org/2023/04/24/wit…
Urban streets are so much cooler with *tons* of signage, and I wish American cities rolled back sign regulations that sterilize our urban built environments.
Ideology and partisanship are vastly overstated as factors in interstate migration decisions by people on here. (On both sides!) It's all cost of living, jobs, and sunshine—don't overthink it.

some nice pop density numbers (per sqmi): Lakewood: 8,830 Cleveland Heights: 5,385 West Park-Kamms: 5,353 Parma Heights: 4,796 Mayfield Heights: 4.703 Cleveland (whole city): 4,634 Shaker Heights: 4,486 vs. where people say it’s “too built up” Ohio City: 4,486 Tremont: 2,888
The fundamental driver of homelessness in US cities is a lack of housing supply — not drug use, poverty, mental illness, or climate. This explanation from @JerusalemDemsas should end the debate once and for all:
LIKE and RT if you have ever used a building in your life!
This is called filtering and that’s why Cleveland is cheap.

seattle has nice new trains that are super reliable and take you lots of places you’d want to go. also they run 100% on the honor system, you could just walk on without paying the fare and nobody would care. can’t wait to get back to new york, the better and more important city

@SceneSallard Vaporware stunt designed to interrupt actual transit projects. Govts need to invest in what already works... like making sure the bus arrives on time and more frequently.

I was looking at a thread of people recalling how gross and unbelievable it was that we used to allow people to smoke in restaurants, planes, hospitals(!) I hope one day my kids will think about traffic violence the same way. It’s hard to believe we live like this.
