came across these images in my academic work (I'm doing a study on development regulatory processes, where I have access to a bunch of public documents on people supporting/opposing various projects)
I wonder where this person stands on higher density zoning :D
I visit Houston with some regularity. They have exactly this in many neighborhoods. But it doesn't feel anything like this rather sad picture. Because these neighborhoods have killer amenities. You can walk to very good restaurants. There are lots of good bakeries.
When I lived in Seattle, I was surrounded by quaint single family homes. We were a 25 minute bus ride from downtown, but nearby there was nothing: just lots of single family housing. No good bakeries.
Texas is the land of the free (dammit, they're converting me).
Yeah, I actually like the vibe of neighborhoods full of 3-4 story apartments (usually ground floor is shops).
The thing is, if you upzone to allow that, that family's property value will probably rise because the land becomes more valuable
That is funny, but also something you have to think about.
A lot of people in the town I grew up in lost the privacy they had taken for granted.
Steph Curry approves
Cute how they think it'd have a two-story buffer. Also Mama doesn't look happy either way.
Hahaha bye bye privacy
My guess. In one of those two story apartments. Not that yard.
