@the_transit_guy Charlotte’s population density actually has increased 75% since 1980, despite the fact that the city’s land area grew 44% in that same time period

One relatively simple, uncontroversial change municipalities can make to accelerate development:
Put all of the relevant zoning and permitting info online in one simple, easy-to-use website.
Allows new developers to evaluate opportunities in your city without having to make painful treks down to city hall to meet with planning / zoning / etc.
(Of course, most municipalities actively discourage development, so they bury this info!)

This outstanding map shows the different ages of the skylines across North America. Austin vs Fort Worth is fun. What urban histories do you see reflected here? Source: buff.ly/4cQpwjK

@realEstateTrent A company called Deliverance tried this in London and lasted 19 years. They went out of business in 2016 but had the same model. Ghost kitchens with multiple cuisines and one number/website

@ErnieBrownII The experience of going in a Food Lion and realizing the quality of the produce is 2x that of HT for 1/2 the price is really enlightening. RIP pre Kroger Harris Teeter

If Charlotte's transit plans from the 1990s had gone accordingly, today the city could've had five light rails traveling from Uptown to the suburbs.

@CLTdevelopment @Panthers But the LED screen canopy over the East Gate was so successful 🙄🙄🤢
English

Dear my life-long love, the @Panthers,
• The investment in a massive LED screen that faces a thousand apartments is a misstep. Nobody needs to have updates on the Panthers 365, we have phones for that.
• Real Madrid & JAX both managed to enclose their stadium for this price.

BREAKING: Charlotte City Council will consider $650 million in improvements to Bank of America Stadium. I'm live next on @wsoctv with details of the project and cost breakdown
English

@Derailluer @prinzrob Why just not keep it straight ahead and make them enclose it for safety? It’s become crazy how CDOT inconveniences average citizens instead of developers and contractors. In any other city in the country this detour wouldn’t be needed.
English

I want to hear from everyone how we did here, and what we missed. I’m particularly interested in what my former colleague and good friend @prinzrob thinks, from afar. This will be a detour for a while, so if something more is needed, we aren’t going anywhere til it’s right

@willplans Haven’t they just filed that that will be torn down and the facade rebuilt as part of the new apartment complex going there?

@SoccerSheet @MissEdwardsCLT @queencitynerve Nah that would be my own personal article on Buc’cees or however the hell you spell it

Which Wegmans headline do you consider most helpful? 1. After years of speculation, Wegmans supermarket finally confirms Charlotte plans 2. Where Wegmans is putting first Charlotte store 3. Wegmans to open store in Ballantyne

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 By ‘completed’ they mean resell the land at a tidy profit and actually build nothing as the chosen ‘developer’?
