aren't all dmu's technically iron horses

brought to you by my city's arts office guy touting the arts plan:

"Arts are dying here! We're gonna invest in arts!"

"uh, what are you going to do about artists being able to afford rent without working full-time-plus day jobs that take all their art time"

"shut up"

have it stop every two blocks the entire way

5 hours to larkspur

maximum muni

why the fuck would we do that

yer one o' the good ones

Wow, reporters really have always been like that.

lmaooooo @ it being someone in an arts office crying about investing money in something that only a few dozen people will use

go fund another artist residence that could only ever be used by a rich person's spouse

Planners smh…

hello I am AICP-certified to say that planning staff, whether they were cowards or true-believers, should fuck off

and get to work making some non-restrictive objective standards for that development if they believe the role of the profession is citybuilding and not wealth preservation

Same with CEQA. Lead agencies are on the hook for plaintiff attorney's fees, but nimbys are never on the hook.

corridor zoning is fucking evil

don't say that in your staff meeting, though.

We can't have homes four blocks commuter rail with six trains every direction every hour, especially when that rail line connects to the highest-paying jobs in the planet.

you're telling renters that they are subhuman swine who don't deserve to live in your neighborhood, so I don't think I can rely on you, either.

teaching 19-year-olds urban design on a college campus away from any actual neighborhoods is brain poison

"of course you need a gradient from the big buildings to the small ones"
why
if so, how steep is the gradient
why is the middle the middle
what are you fading from/toward

The 1959 in the username is talking pretty loud here

but back in 1970, they still believed that planning could be used for more than limiting access a city for the benefit of people who already owned access
