Very few are building this kind of product today. I'm honored to be working with one of the few groups in the US doing this now here in the Houston area. And we've got 22 units coming down the pipeline!

We’re missing a crucial housing type in the U.S.: Housing over small shops Life on the ground floor Starter homes above It creates the backbone of a walkable city. Also known as a Residential-over-Retail, a 15 minute street, and a Livable Community.

Pretty soon we're going to have a design genre called sprawl-to-trails, similar to rails-to-trails. Repurposing infrastructure that isn't necessary.

@YIMBYLAND There's a guy in my neighborhood who parks a food truck in community center parking lot every morning selling coffee and it's the best thing that's happened to our neighborhood in years

One day the personal freedom and property rights argument is going to hit the suburbs, and once we let people start making creative use of their property we’ll finally get interesting neighborhoods in the existing sprawl.
YIMBYLAND@YIMBYLAND

Unironically, adding a walkable coffee shop and a pub to a suburban neighborhood would make them 10x more enjoyable and dynamic. Imagine the run-ins you’d have every morning on your walk for coffee, or spontaneous games you watch with the dads at the pub. Sounds kinda awesome.

@YIMBYLAND My favorite version of this - I believe it a city in Australia recently gave homeowners the abilty to open a "shop" in their front yard.

Italy is full of random towns like this. We have Northern Italian languages like Piemontese stranded in the South cuz of mercenaries from 1000 years ago. Greek speakers with 5000+ year presence. Multiple Croatian & Albanian towns! Most linguistically diverse country in Europe!
Baudrillard Forever@GroovySciFi

Alghero is strange. Random city in Sardinia where the main language is Catalan. And not in a "this is our heritage way", you actually hear it on the street.

@aarmlovi Looking forward to reading your full article! But do you see pushback from condo-owners who would like to restrict supply to see their asset appreciate? Ive been confused when I hear reports that homes are essentially “disposable” in the sense that ppl destroy them after 1 use?

New AGF blog: Tokyo is the world's most affordable megacity--and they're still permitting homes at many times the pace of NYC, London, Paris Yet land prices are still very high! A 1-acre suburban home in Chiyoda would cost over $100M before you nail the first board Tokyo shows structures can be affordable if you stack enough of them on pricey land. It also shows that YIMBYism will not crash land markets or impoverish land-rich homeowners in attractive areas Tokyo also heightens the contradictions of the profit-focused version of the Homevoter Hypothesis: In the highest-demand neighborhoods of the US, the homevoters prioritizing "Boomer suburb vibes" are not just hurting renters, they're costing *themselves* billions of dollars of land value

@Panzaredda @aarmlovi Working on doing a more comprehensive analysis but anecdotally it happens often with immigrant builders who either don’t have the relationships, underwriting standards, or stomach for conventional debt. I suspect some are borrowing in less formal ways thru community networks.

The industrious people of Texas are bringing in companies from Israel and Canada to build their water supply and sell them water in perpetuity
Dylan Baddour@DylanBaddour

CEO of Israel Desalination Engineering, speaking to Texas lawmakers about seawater desalination plants: “Once you build one, there’s gonna be seven others that are gonna be built along the coast line.” IDE announced its first Texas desalination plant in Brownsville last month

@Panzaredda @lentil_man The most common loan structure until 100 years ago was a loan for the amount of the interest only, which you paid in monthly instalments. When your interest payments were complete, you got the ability to pay up the original purchase price (hope you were saving up) to own it.
