We’re thrilled to share some images of our coach house project with Here to Stay Community Land Trust! We are delighted to be a trusted partner, helping give this 1880s coach house new life as affordable duplex condos while preserving the details that make it unique.
Having a really bad night of thinking there is really no one out there who wants me to be their person.

Building something is cool and all but hella lonely.

Trads really do not care about underlying principles, they just want pastiche.
The White House ballroom expansion is so large that it's made a kink in the symmetrical path around the South Lawn. Nobody on the Commission of Fine Arts raised an eyebrow at this slide www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Damn this is good
Finally saw this today with my own eyes: 3140 W. 99th Street, Evergreen Park. ca. 1967. It's called the Kiwi Condominiums. Building nerds extraordinaire @ladytophamcatt.bsky.social and @tudoraf.bsky.social conjecture that the architect was Carl Federici.

I, too, tend to embrace those who want to hurt me. See my last relationship for an example.

JUST IN: The Bears say Indiana is now their main focus for a stadium, though they’ve stopped short of committing to moving across the state line.

Sadly the most anyone will get here until people start having the balls (gender neutral) to do the right thing again, is a slap on the wrist.
The rise of the far right is not a problem unique to the US. Our elite impunity problem, however, seems to be on an order of magnitude worse than a lot of our peers.

BIG DAY for Midwest Emos
they’ve left the house, i repeat, they’ve left the house

Here is what I don’t like - reserving lots under 5000 sf for single family. There needs to be a Chicago carveout that makes 2 to 4 units by right on all lots greater than 2500 sf
There’s a lot to love in Pritzker’s “Building Up Illinois Developments” (BUILD) plan!

ADUs allowed statewide 🏘️
Up to eight homes on large residential lots 😏
Middle Housing exempt from parking mandates 🅿️
Standardized impact fees & review timelines 💰
