How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend? Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?
I love visiting Cincinnati because it’s one of my favorite cities but I also hate visiting Cincinnati because I get jealous of how beautiful it is.

lots of people are confused about the difference between courtyard blocks and the new, massive multifamily buildings arranged around parking lots! I am here to help. SO the "Margo" (left) is a large, hotel-like apartment building built for maximum rental throughput, not for families or long-term attachment. It offers few large units, no diversity of ownership, and no direct access to safe, private outdoor space. and it sits in a car-dependent, non-walkable area disconnected from the neighborhood. By contrast, a courtyard block (right)—made up of multiple smaller buildings around a secure, shared courtyard—supports a mix of unit sizes, including family apartments, allows for mixed ownership, and gives residents direct access to outdoor space. Its decentralized design fosters walkability, neighborhood interaction, and lasting attachment. it creates a high-value, family-friendly urban environment of "forever homes" that the Margo’s monolithic model cannot replicate.
