TBH, the WB&A also took that route, since Maryland transit has always been Baltimore centric

Flixbus does run one bus at 9:30AM daily, with a 5PM return.
MTA commuter bus is such a missed opportunity, given that the state pays for the buses to just sit at RFK all day

Empty road = "Level of Service A"
Empty bus = "low productivity service to be discontinued"

I once saw someone *on a laptop* video call at an airport urinal. Like, I know both activities are technically possible one-handed, but...

Had the same experience on a group bike ride 😆

you'd think that Jim Justice would warmly welcome EVs to WV with electrons generated from hand-selected coal, but... no. only the freshest Exxon imports shall get you across those country roads

1st graph is per sq ft, 2nd is per *unit* but doesn't hold unit size constant -- the SFH is much larger. The difference is almost entirely construction practices

Likewise, though I was dimly aware of Jesus earlier, on account of growing up in the South

You gain more ground floor space over the ramp, and avoid losing the space under the ramp. (Can't just tuck an under-stair closet in there.)

The shoe potato is apparently supposed to be rotten?

Learning curves also apply (the more common type in a city is generally cheaper) but that's tautological wrt regulation

The pressure to max out zoning mostly comes from land sellers who price for the highest-value use; feasibility is someone else's problem.
Developers are happy to underbuild zoning, hence the many 5-story office buildings demo'd for 3-story townhouses

Yep! "4-floor multifamily buildings can already have a single stair — in a 2-over-2. Furthermore, those units can be built at typical prices for our region’s housing market. Dividing that into 3 units, though, currently kicks in a costly requirement for a second stair."

This tradeoff may be worth maximizing the number of residents at a certain location -- to support retail or transit service.
But the *most effective* upzoning (=most units at lowest price) is allowing more (town)houses at resi-code construction costs
