Sure but they are also extremely carbon intensive and we have the technology to make modern wood buildings that resist fire and perform better in general. Land use patterns in Europe vs US have a lot more to do with this than building materials

Though I do think municipalities may be allowing them closer to residential areas because they don't have some of the traditional marks of light industrial buildings.

Really enjoyed sitting in on the Capital Long-range Improvement Committee’s proposal meeting. CLIC is an appointed committee that guides our investment priorities. Departments presented proposals for things like street redesign and buildings, including the controversial MPD training facility.

in all, five 1/4 mile tiles flipped from plurality multi-family land use to plurality single-family land use the biggest shift was the one in the OP here are the other four 1/4 mile tiles that shift, with the percentage point decline in multifamily land use coverage

Plans to redevelop Phoenix Academy and build 307 homes in west London were rejected due to scale concerns and lack of community consultation.
"If you guessed "as much density as possible, regardless of the consequences" meant 4 units, congratulations to you (but, sadly, not to our city). But why does this site need a rezoning for 4 units if 4 units are already allowed in Neighbourhoods as-of-right?"

Dear god almighty, the stock complaint right from the book on refusal.

It’s just that the constraint is planning, not the lack of profitable lots for construction. I would be very happy to swing to your position, it’s just that I can’t picture or understand how it’s faster. Thanks for chatting !

The Hilliard Board of Zoning Appeals has given the green light for the new Brown Elementary School, paving the way for a 70,000-square-foot educational hub on 19 acres! Learn more here #HilliardFranklinCounty #OH #CitizenPortal #CommunityDevelopment #UrbanPlanning #ZoningVariances

More on this later. The two-page spread still exists online in PDF. Given the current situation, it's a damning indictment of a money-grubbing mindset that has not gone away in 20 years. In fact its enjoying a resurgence. Make no mistake: the #N6GCRR is ALL about unlocking land for development.

i think part of the optimization _is_ the route constraint. people should be routed to common places more often. it's important to maintain the miniscule interpersonal connection cities permit
Sounds like big box vs mom and pop...large ticket items being centralized suits my agenda but not theirs...?

Finding space to open a sb venture is very tricky in many cities due to this point exactly. If the only option is for rent by a handful of corporations in 5/1 developments vs small commercial incl accessory commercial units that are better scaled & walkable, there are more chains & less one-offs
Of huidige steden sowieso duurzamer zijn dan dorpen hangt er denk ik nogal van af met welke lens je het bekijkt. Maar go...

Lenzen zijn het gebruik van ruimte, aardoppervlak waar ook natuur zou kunnen zijn. Dichte bebouwing is ook efficiënter qua energieverbruik en verkeersbewegingen.

En si mismas no se construyeron para vertebrar nada ni mejorar nada en absoluto, es mentira. Su objetivo era favorecer un crecimiento, desordenado, especulativo y clasista de la ciudad que favoreciera el uso del automóvil.

I’m less interested in why planners and politicians would embrace this than in the underlying economics. It seems puzzling to me that developers would even want to do this. I know downtown buildings and land are cheap compared to what they were, but even during the dark days of the 1970s, urban…

Thrilled to share that ANC 2B unanimously passed my resolution requesting the Office of Planning significantly increase Dupont’s density in a revised draft Future Land Use Map. Image 1: our current land use Image 2: OP’s current, inadequate draft Image 3: The ANC’s desired draft
