“Building new gas stations now is like building more Blockbusters in the age of Netflix”: It IS puzzling that companies would build gas stations in cities that are working hard to encourage transit-oriented #density, #walkable neighborhoods, #cycling and mixed uses. But should cities ban stations … or let market forces do the work for them? Denver votes … ban. https://denverite.com/2025/02/18/denver-gas-station-construction-law-limits-ban-2025/
I'm always amazed at how dense lead is. This little box in the middle of the picture weighs 25 pounds, and it's not even completely filled.
Once we simply *cannot* continue to travel so far and so fast with so much stuff, we will realize that rebuilding our population centers to support great #density with greater #dignity is sane, sensible, satisfying, and #sustainable.
#Urbanism IS the future, whether you like it or not. We can do this the right way, or we can do it the painful way. It's up to you, but the choice will be made, with or without you.

Growing up in rural Midwest, where schools often sprawl on huge lots, it's really interesting to see what modern, ecofriendly, dense school design can look like.

If cities allowed greater #density in #neighborhoods, what would new buildings look like? Big, bulky, Soviet-style #housing? No, says a journalist who is writing a book about how cities are changing. Because of how developments take place in established neighborhoods, housing will be “tall and slim.” This will make them “visually interesting.” And if the city carries through on a few reforms, they could even be … affordable. https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/san-francisco-skinny-architecture-19960340.php

“Environmental law was used against the environment”: #NIMBYs have long used a delaying tactic to stop cities from increasing #housing #density. They sue, claiming density harms the environment and these projects must produce detailed studies showing that they don’t. Good news: Some state legislatures are rewriting laws to limit this tactic. Among those leading the charge are … actual environmental organizations. https://www.minnpost.com/state-government/2024/06/are-lawsuits-against-minnesota-cities-housing-density-plansover/
#ADUs are thought to increase #housing and #density in ways that are barely noticeable. Denver is all in on this idea. But are many ADUs actually being built there? No. And do they end up as long-term rentals or AirBnBs? Not clear, but a lot appear to be short-term rentals. Bottom line: Can ADUs solve Denver’s housing problems? Not unless far more are built, which would require new ways of financing and building them. https://denverite.com/2024/05/01/denver-how-many-adus/
What's happened to Toronto's population density in the last 50 years? The old city got smaller (pink), towers were added to downtown (dark green), and everyone who couldn't afford a place moved to the suburbs (green).
Don't like highways and sprawl and paving over the Greenbelt? Then support more dense housing in the whole city.

Habit for Humanity is acclaimed for helping people find homes … and homeownership … by building single-family houses with the aid of a community. But is this really a solution for #housing in general or #affordablehousing in particular? Habitat leaders in Atlanta don’t think so. They want to be part of increasing #density and the supply of rental housing by building duplexes, triplexes and ADUs. https://atlantaciviccircle.org/2024/04/22/atlanta-habitat-for-humanity-exploring-multifamily-development/
