That’s a pretty good roast, but can you make it more vulgar? /s

Who is JD?

We designed a building system, it's flexible to scale the building size and layout. However there isn't a way for us to per-approve that system which is frustrating. If all we needed was a site work plan review, it'd cut down on time for sure.

I was hopeful they'd be willing to work with others to build a more sustainable environment but they are focused on themselves and only themselves.

Sorry but a regenerative future is one that is collaborative and inviting and they aren't inviting anyone in that doesn't support them 100% of the way.

I'm surprised to see Alpen in this. They make the best windows for our climate (Sonoran Desert) from a high performance perspective. Now to see if we can get our hands on some to do some testing.

To bring it out of philosophical thought;

The fact that you care about this and how others are abusing the term signals that you are one of those passionate folks who is pushing for better. To that I say thank you and if I can lend a hand, just ask.

So many people justify their actions by throwing around fancy altruistic ideas but never intend to live up to them.

We all make mistakes, but many folks seem to be guarded from learning and doing better. Many clouded by politics rather than looking to what matters the most, human connections.

Personally I don't know what missing middle is, humans and words are a struggle for me. I've heard the 4 families that live there have created a fulfilling community. So if these aren't missing middle, they have accomplished what I understand the intent of missing middle to be.

They're townhomes, they are connected 🤷‍♂️

Design is often personal and visuals are just one aspect of design. Human experience has many factors and when I visited these during the open house, there is a lot a video will never be able to capture.

Maintenance is always a good reasoning if climate can handle it!

Nice! Our next project also uses zehnder ducts, super excited for it.

I'm curious why an HRV instead of an ERV?

When people think of prefab they think of completed structures that are plug n play. They don't think of how to pre-make components that work in a unified way.

We are prefabbing posts that make our building better. Anyone can make what we are doing. And they are still human movable.

My struggles have mostly be around treating myself as a human, forgiving myself is hard. You'll figure out your struggles, have confidence stepping into the unknown 🙏
