I hate how much this gets right. We need to revisit the assumptions of the 60s era environmental statutes. The environmentalists here are hurting the environment and the smart growth group is promoting sprawl. reason.com/2023/09/07/jud…

@DoverKohl Happy Birthday! You definitely don’t look 36!

Today Dover, Kohl & Partners reaches 36! Thank you to all our clients, patrons, fans, and current and past associates for your patronage and efforts.

Is the game delayed?

TOMORROW (5/24) #OntheParkBench welcomes @MVGoldsmith, @KarenParolek, and @KingArchitect20 for “Form-Based Codes.” Form-based codes are based on principles of integration and create communities that are healthier, more equitable, diverse, and sustainable. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Great news! @SmartGrowthUSA has been working with Newport, RI for the past year to protect families from the potential threats of gentrification and rising housing costs, and City Council unanimously approved zoning amendments last night! More below. thepublicsradio.org/article/newpor…

A zoning victory! The Newport Planning Board approved zoning amendments that SGA-FBCI and the Local Advisory Group drafted and have been advocating for over the past several months. 🙌What's next? The City Council will consider these amendments next month. thepublicsradio.org/article/newpor…

"Form-based codes generate economic benefits without significantly altering the racial makeup of communities—and while keeping rent increases down." @NewUrbanism on our report from @FormBasedCodes ⬇️⬇️⬇️ cnu.org/publicsquare/2…

I was playing #monopoly today and could not help myself. Yet another sign that I never stop thinking about #missingmiddlehousing

Well said, Beth!!

@KamalaHarris Happy Birthday Madam Future Vice President!!

Reply to this tweet to wish Kamala a happy birthday!

Yesterday, the California Senate took a big step to increase the number of affordable homes across the state. Read our latest Insights Report on what @LorenaAD80 and @DavidChiu's #AB2345 means for #housing in California. #CALeg upforgrowth.org/news/californi…

Some virtual engagement techniques are essential in this time of separation. Our upcoming webinar w/ @ncicharrette & @DoverKohl will show how a carefully crafted online charrette engaged new, hard-to-reach segments of Missoula, MT. Limited registration! buff.ly/3a5b6vP

“The uniqueness of the Daybreak community is the diversity of housing types. It fills a void in terms of size & location. It feels comfortable & walkable, even though it’s a high-density project.” @NAHBhome attributes this success to form-based zoning. buff.ly/2QXVVxu

We used to build great human-scaled, walkable places like this by default... and we still can. It's a matter of #zoning reform. Our resources can get you started: buff.ly/2JtBeGr

A true #formbasedcode requires private buildings to shape public space through the use of building form standards w/ specific requirements for building placement and building frontages. Graphics in the @citydelraybeach code are excellent examples.

My Xmas wish: that @NewUrbanism, @SmartGrowthUSA & @NRDCSolutions work together on comprehensive built-environment agenda for climate change

Today, on behalf of FBCI, Joe Kohl, Geoff Ferrell, and Marta Goldsmith presented an Introduction to FBCs to Sri Lanka’s Urban Development Authority that included their Chairman, Director General and more than 40 members from their main and regional offices.
