California has a terrible problem with its local government structure with far too localized municipalities to be effective. Repeating the same mistakes is folly. 1M people is a very normal number of people for a municipality.

How can you reject modernity from an urbanist perspective?Isnt it basically the opposite of neo-pastoralism?

What "roots" do they advocate for?

If anyone is ever confused as to the term "blueskyism", this is it.

According to the chronicle, the developer wasnt particularity hostile to parking enforcement and viewed it as a personal project. (Not a terrible thing imo) But using it to skirt city enforcement of something that is unequivocally good is not ideal.

Im glad they did. Avoiding parking citations isnt a noble endeavor when bus stops and crosswalks are routinely blocked by cars. We give drivers too much leeway here.

Japan experiences earthquakes of those magnitudes and larger more often than the bay. Furthermore, what is precluding expanding the density of SF to achieve the 20M number since we know SF can withstand the quake. The barriers to tripling the population of the bay are all political not engineering.

Given that there are multiple areas around the world that are in seismic zones and have tens of millions of people living in them. I think the burden is on you to explain why their built environment is incompatible with the bay area.

If youre implying the bay cant house that many people due to earthquake risk, I encourage you to look up the capital of Japan.

Would be an incredible win. There is just such little political inertia in SF it would take 100 years. Do-nothing elected (and unelected) officials need to go.

More homes yesterday. The longer they drag their feet the more demand spikes.

The name should be "Line in the Sand"

Nimbyism disguised as environmentalism. More density will save what land is left from development. This person just wants more single family homes and thinks nature doesn't extend beyond chickens and guava.

The correct term is twitler youth

This all happened in soma on 9th. Id recommend changing the article and post to be accurate.

This is for the brightline running between LA and LV and has nothing to do with the California HSR. The publisher put the wrong rendering on the title image, hopefully by mistake.

In the pocket of developers geting rich off... A public good that loses money?

Go back to twitter.
