there will only be a legal number of single family homes because we legally require the land to be used for single family homes. Change the land use regulations to change the makeup of the land. If they upzoned the land from RH-1 to RH-4 mo

you should call your state assembly person and have them vote yes on SB35. This bill gives teeth to the RHNA numbers and provides an accelerated pathway to approval for certain developments if the cities are not meeting their housing constr

they "can" build up, zoning laws are not an immutable fact of nature.

it is not bounded vertically. What Seattle needs to do is limit SFH (single family home) zoning, which right now covers ~80% of the city.

Very interesting recommendations, but no mention of the CTO, Thuan, who was called out by Fowler herself in her blog post.

I agree, but that scenario rarely plays out. In reality, taxi medallions were leveraged financial products often owned by banks, hedge funds, PE firms etc. I do not feel sorry for the generally wealthy medallion investors, they made a bet a

not a ton of medallian owner/taxi operators. IIRC most are owned by banks, PE firms, etc. They're definitely more of a leveraged financial product than a certificate that allows someone to operate a small business.

Free soloing is "inherently easier" in the physical sense when you abstract danger from situation, climbing with ropes slows a team down significantly. That is one of the reasons AH was able to climb the route in 4 hours as oppose

what is the opportunity cost of spending all that time washing cars though? If you don't need the resources I think there are better ways to spend your formative years

gotta be more than that, 100-300 per year maybe, on the lower end. 300 people total means like 10 people per season, I personally know more people who've climbed the nose.

There are two "parts" of the investigation. More coming at a later date in the near future WRT high level leadership. Other publications like axios state that Emil (BD) and Thuan (CTO) will likely be shown the door.

living like that is probably the worst possible thing one can do for the environment unless they are living off the grid, farming for themselves etc. This is not a scalable solution to make our planet a better place.

While I agree with you that this demo is suspect, I think your comment would be more useful if you backed it up with some of the physics/engineering principles that support your point of view.

IMO, this is begging for an anti-trust lawsuit. Google, the largest advertiser on the web, building web browsers that block other networks ads. I believe they're going through with it now partially because they don't expect an act

Yea, TBH, this is more of a view about "cities" vs "rural area" and less about "red state" vs "blue state". Id much rather live in the most densely populated county in Nebraska than the least densely

Agreed. There seem to be a lot of microscale effects where people are moving from [small town where they grew up] to [moderately sized regional center], and most of my experience comes from seeing family members and friends still living in

I would limit my "expertise" to rustbelt/midwestern areas, but from what I've seen in both data and experience, things tend to be more correlated with overall density metrics than specific location, and there are a lot o
