"While New Urbanists have increased the supply of walkable, mixed-use places with access to transit, the supply falls far short of meeting the demand for such places. This has forged an affordability problem, and, in turn, and equity problem." cnu.org/publicsquare/2…

Even in the vast American drivable urban landscape, families can figure out how to do without a car—walking and biking to meet every personal need. Here’s how it’s done and you can do it, too. cnu.org/publicsquare/2…

As someone who cares about the amount of toxins being carried into our streams from impervious surfaces I love this idea to create more green space! Asphalt, Be Gone! How Depave Is Replacing Parking Lots with Parks buildabetterburb.org/asphalt-be-gon… via @BetterBurb

Man, there's no escaping this culture problem. Just got chased down and cut off by the driver who was stuck behind me while I yielded to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk. Driver laid on horn the entire time I waited, which was my legal obligation. Streets are out of control.

I agree with this thread...we need more land zoned for walkable urban stuff then is actually built upon it to be a competitive, that is modest priced, market.

@HoussamElokda @jen_keesmaat @JoeUrbanThree @ChrisLeinberger So yea, put in the zoning to enable that apartment building we need, but also make sure that for each required apartment building, there are 4 different sites where it could be feasibly built.

@SethLargo @ad_mastro We humbly submit that the very form of our suburbs tell the story. Fueled by the military industrial complex (aka interstate highway construction for military and emergency "needs"), our economic models reward infinite expansion/production instead of self-replenishing economies.

Thoughts on starting down the path of homeownership and family in a country that is in decline. What if there's already been a collapse, and this affluent corner of America outside Washington, DC is just lucky to have missed it? arcdigital.media/anxiety-in-sub…
