We expect Philly is going to be right up there with the best 🥇🥊 - but we wouldn't know (yet!), because we're still seeking support to complete the Philly Metro Zoning Atlas. Stay tuned and we'll update when we start there. (And - if anyone has funding tips, DM me!)

Yes, I am following! The Living New Deal team is doing good work trying to raise awareness about this. There is a Section 106 angle that is worth their pursuing.

Ha thank you! :)

Exactly. No one in Congress would have thought this was even a possibility. Time to change the rules.

Maybe not suing the NPS, but I think there might be a path. Working through it tonight with some dedicated preservationists/Americans. Because we can't let this stand.

Probably. :)

IMO a building-code @zoningatlas.bsky.social w/the same detail wouldn't really be worth the effort, because building codes are relatively uniform across jurisdictions (adopted at state level, only modest local deviations)... a better project is infiltrating the closed fora in which they're written.

Oh no!! Then definitely don't go to Deep Suburbia, or 🤯. DC's zoning is actually pretty permissive compared to other US cities...

FYI @yonahfreemark.com & Lydia Lo gave us a running start on DC analysis (see /external-contributors). We wanted it up b/c NZA is headquartered in DC!

Folks, also note that our "Show Me Where" filters show where the selected use is allowed as of right (without public hearings). Using the Advanced Filters, you can see where apartments are allowed after a public hearing, and explore other rules (including parking mandates, & lot sizes).
