Your city probably doesn't care about urban design at all. They want the tax money from businesses, but they also want to restrict housing, so they have to spend less on services and property costs rise as much as possible. Therefore, 2 stories residential is too much, but 5 stories business is fine.
- kurthr 8y agoI think there's something to what you say... but I also follow the general rule of politics, follow the money. The developers/RE give the most money and they get what they want where they want it. I kinda hope that the city at least realizes that most housing won't pay for its city services with taxes, but I really think it's more short term money grab by influential people investing Other People's Money. They don't care what happens after they've sold it.
