Melbourne builds more units than Sydney and has kept prices flat since COVID. The problem is not that units here “don’t stack up” - it’s that we’re not permitting them in the places where they do stack up, or only permitting them to be half as tall, or burying them in paperwork.

@blndsknyrchbtch I'm a bit surprised that the fragmentation principle didn't apply - especially given review or an appeal would be available later

@blndsknyrchbtch Wait it looks like the FCAFC heard the challenge on the merits rather than struck out? Its a detailed judgment I may have missed something obvious

@tresantes Bad because this is just a woman saying what men like and how to optimize for it, when men have heterogeneous tastes, her own seem odd, and you get maximal value by either a) following broadly applicable, easy advice or b) targeting a niche that general advice doesn't work for

@tresantes Broadly I'd think its worth looking alright, dressing alright, eating ok and doing a bit of exercise when looking to date. I suspect the diminishing returns are fairly aggressive tho The precise and detailed advice in that piece seems misleading to arbitrary and bad

@oaklleiigh (Or peppers. Choy sum can do ok in a decent fridge wrapped in plastic because it doesn't take long to get through, if you can get the smaller ones anyway)

@jonobri Broadly I think taking most of townhouse Carlton and allowing it to look like skyscraper Carlton is a real priority Its actually not clear to me why they win, beyond being rich and influential. Spiteful partisan upzoning seems to be the only solution

This is an underrated key YIMBY point - one we keep losing on, even if we get mid rise zoning by trans stations and townhouse spam rules Its super important to allow a lot of intense land use in cities! Especially in the center! That's the most valuable bit
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias

Some of this designated “small scale residential” is *extremely* close to the central business district. The benefits to the city in terms of growth, jobs, and tax revenue of allowing big condos & apartments here is large.

Being a New Zealander is mostly just being in the car. If you disagree you're not the average NZer and should stay quiet.
