While it takes different aesthetic forms depending on local context, the conflict over housing in America is between a group of people who believe they should be able to use housing policy to pick and choose their neighbors and another who believes that people should have freedom to move.

Its astounding how little architects I've worked with understand MEP. R-32 equipment sales will be phased out in the 2030s, but existing equipment will be fine. R-32 refrigerant will still be in high supply as its part of the new R454B blend.

Conversations about fire safety in the United States should begin by asking, “Why is our fire fatality rate so much higher than in many other nations, including many nations that allow single buildings?”
If our codes are good, why do they deliver bad results?

If I organized conference sessions, webinars and meetings on the following topic, would you want to be part of one?
FIXING AMERICA’S BROKEN CODES: When it comes to safety and affordability, the US isn’t doing well. Our fire and traffic death rates are far higher than in many other nations.🧵

To purchase the 21,000 sf lot, the Samish Nation received $625,000 from the State of Washington, and several of our very active and greath local service clubs raised another $225,000.
Why did the lot have to be so large? Well, because our city required 32 parking stalls for a 40-kid facility.

I offered to buy a vacant lot for 60k.
Owner said 175k contingent on variances.
Or 125k for immediate cash close.
At 175k, my net profit would be $0. Everyone selling land in Long Island assumes house prices will go up 10% again next year and thats where the builder's profit should come from.
