my view is these should be designed around a commons. let groups of friends and families live around a nice garden and outdoor kitchen, as a treat. so many people dream about that and yet no one builds it
Placing 5 to 6 800 square foot “cottages” on 10,000 square foot lots is not a housing solution any city should take seriously. The planners are wrong to push these on single family areas in major cities

A cornerstone of professionalization of architecture is that it makes us self-regulating. Even today, joining the AIA means agreeing to a code of ethics.
It's rare, but any member can charge another with a breach of this code, and it seems it might happen for the architect of the Epstein Ballroom.
