I am a gen-xy, mathy, mappy, change tracking, silent sportster, integral thinker. Born 320ppm.
I am interested in this construction that makes more affordable and liveable homes. These builds can be fit into existing cities far better than the 17 story messes being considered in #Ptbo
Further exploration of single-stair stacked flats, with external stair.
77x122 Lot. 30 Homes. 6 Storeys.
Roughly 2.0 FSR. 90% Efficient.
18 small units and 12 larger units.
All units are "corner" units.
In this version we're exploring wrapping the stair around a CLT elevator core.

In his most recent post, Stephen Archibald noted this mockup of a bike rack attached to the front of a Halifax Transit bus. Practice makes perfect, so you won’t embarrass yourself in front of the other passengers:

The plan is to make us trust nothing, to not know how to know what's real and what's not, and ultimately, for us to give up our own agency.
It's fascism.

Stroad
A pejorative portmanteau of street and road: an expensive, dangerous, and ugly design that tries to be both a high-speed commuter road and destination street with businesses, failing at both while being equally frustrating for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
