  2. It's not about what's good for you it's about what's good for everyone . Nobody's saying don't have suburbs at all, we are talking about how we can make then better and have different types of neighborhoods that ensure adequate housing for all.

  3. Why?

  4. We are trying to fix the low-income neighborhoods, and it starts by getting them more resources- that's what all this is about. Better suburban design and better urban design. It's all part of better public design, period.

  9. I feel the absolute same. It boggles my mind! Why is everyone such a fucking slave!!?!? What am I missing??! These organizations are blatant criminal and yet they're being allowed to operate in the open. I don't understand it. Anywhere else that would be called organized crime and the feds would be busting down their door!! What tf is going on???

  10.  @stealth_chain  yeah. Most suburbs right now are more or less full, as in all the lots are occupied, so nothing's going to happen inside his actual suburb but perhaps nearby. But if the homes are already built I don't see anybody coming in and building a high-rise or even a mid-rise on the site of a pre-existing SFDH. And provided they keep any of this new development low or mid-rise I don't see the problem if they do, but what I see being suggested is not changing any of the homes within a certain locus of streets but just in its nearby vicinity. I mean unless they change the zoning in previously R1, areas nothing's going to change. I'm not saying go into pre-existing R1 areas and start carving them up and building towers, but a few low-rises scattered about or on the periphery would certainly help. Modest and moderate low-number multi-units on some of these lots doesn't hurt and won't change the character of the overall neighborhood in any real way. They would be scattered about in a low number and won't harm anything. I have no problem with R1 zoning in and of itself we just need to reduce its footprint. There's just too much of it right now. We need to upzoning on some of it but not all of it. There's a place for every kind of zoning and certainly a lot of R1 can remain but some of it needs to be upzoned to handle increased housing demand. That's just what needs to be done. But there are smart and less smart ways to upzone and I would only suggest reasonable modest upzoning in certain areas. In currently undeveloped or industrial areas I would suggest more aggressive of zoning but in more homogeneous R1 areas I would only suggest limited upzoning. I'm sure there are easy ways to apply light touch upzoning that respect current residents concerns.

  11.  @stealth_chain  yes indeed. ADUs are an absolute must to be legalized everywhere and allowing owners to add up to three, say, livable units on their property, per half acre (because small garden apartments don't take up much space, or tiny homes), will go a long way. And adding additional permission for every unit parcel to be built with four or six plexes on it. Small multi-units. I've seen attractive small apartment units on a relatively small lot footprint. It was very unobtrusive and blended very nicely with its surrounding neighborhood which was majority single homes. This is easily done, esp on corners. Agreed that the real potential lies with infill, improving current or former industrial areas, current or former commercial areas, or currently undeveloped. I don't think we need necessarily more land but just much better use of the land we currently have.

  13.  @enovationsgr  I think it would be great if people who were interested in public life were always thinking ways we could improve ourselves. There's always a way to do things better. Even in rural communities there are ways to improve wildlife and environmental management. I would like to see better urban communities that serve everyone and minimize "hood" areas (but not by typical gentrification that pushes out previous residents) and more livable suburban communities which make a smarter and greener use of their space, that allows for better low scale and medium-scale development and provide better transit options.

  14. Wow. That's sorry. Someone needs to sue. That is utterly unacceptable! Pigs are ruining everything! Shame on the council letting these crazies dictate the PUBLIC RIGHTS OF FUTURE RESIDENTS! SUE SUE SUE!

  15. So because they don't want anyone to have a potential "escape route" 1000s don't get outside non-car infrastructure. Unacceptable. SUEEEEEEEEEEEE!

  16. Technically any area can be great IF there are enough walkways, bikeways, parks, greenways, trees, and open spaces. That's a big if though.
