They got my dad. Someone needs to write about this.

Best half time show I’ve ever seen and not even close.

My thought is you start incrementally in the most urban areas or areas nearest transit.

In Tucson that’s probably the neighborhoods around the university. Broad scale upzoning for 3-4 stories mixed use.

I’m huge fan of the Barcelona blocks and the EU style courtyard housing.

We should absolutely change our zoning to promote and allow this style of building development.

this is also in my grab bag - eliminating facade modulation and upper level setbacks for mass timber and passivhaus buildings!

these are a legacy of poor urban planning in the 80s/90s that increase costs, embodied carbon, operational carbon, maintenance costs, etc.

elevator reform! @stephenjacobsmith.com

(currently the minute you put in an elevator even in small buildings, it has to be massive and accommodate stretchers - this reduces the number of accessible homes in our state)

Surprised they can still get Fly Ash. With coal power on the way out, fly ash is harder to come by.

Visited a few weeks ago. Very promising!

Cool yeah seems like could build buildings with interior fire rated enclosures for e-bike storage which would be super convenient for residents. Also would allow people to invest in nice bikes with less worry about theft or getting them into their apartment

Probably not tbh

Opportunity costs for that highway cap are incredibly high and no one is talking about it. That’s a lot of money that could have gone into lots of other great projects.

Or even the north loop. Filling it in would be a fraction of the cost and sim if not more benefit.
