This k line vote next week is shaping up to be a big show down. Meanwhile the Mayor who appoints four seats is silent…

“The critics mainly consisted of Lafayette Square residents who oppose Metro tunneling underneath their Mid-City historic district” Utter insanity that ~30-50ppl can delay a regional mass transit line for something objectively false. Tunneling 80-120ft below em’ does NOTHING.

50 times as many NIMBYs have written letters to urge the council to adopt the worst SB 79 option than YIMBYs have written to support the good options.

@TehDuffman @cta I think if you put a billboard out front of it with even just the total RPM TIF property tax funding (never mind the Federal matching funds) out front of that flyover you’d lose that bet.
Well, unless you worked for the CTA or Walsh Construction.

Such a massive own goal that the CTA is pursuing a super expensive vanity redesign of the State/Lake station that doesn't address connectivity to the red/blue lines underneath or attempt to add transit-oriented amenities

Perfect encapsulation of how the current management approach to renovations doesn't address the root issues of the system

The US should have a single federal building code that applies to all jurisdictions. Our patchwork of codes and ordinances is a nightmare for developers and architects who operate across multiple cities.
Coby@Cobylefko
This, as much as any other reason, is why housing is expensive and bad. Our codes have grown far more than our homes. Giles has done really good work here.

land value tax. LAND VALUE TAX. you tax the land not the building so there’s no penalty for building up and empty lot downtown stops being a free ride and suddenly everyone wants to build and the city funds itself and it’s elegant and it’s BEAUTIFUL and no one will do it. no one

@LA_Multi_Fam This is the best I could do to fix it. Proportions may be a bit off, but there's no reason it couldn't look like this.

Qué groso esto de Córdoba, es la primera vez que lo veo, y lo siguen ampliando.
La verdad, si lo hicieran en Amsterdam estaríamos todos fascinados. Bien por los cordobeses.

Who would have guessed building no housing would push out an industry your city is literally known for?
