Andres Duany: In the New Urbanism, variances are granted for merit, NOT for hardship. Wanna break the rules? Bring a great idea.

“There are 2 parts of community revitalization:
1) change the mentality, and
2) change the built environment.
You need both to succeed”

@lyft, what do I have to do to get a decent response for this?!

[Jennifer Garcia @Garcia_Design]

@lyft, will you ever respond to my emails about the false damage claim of $80 that your driver Yelnay accused me of! The photos clearly show old and dried stains! I had even given her 5 stars and a tip!
Riders, beware of Yelnay in a Toyota Camry:

For nearly 20 years, Ellsworth Drive in Silver Spring, Maryland has been closed to cars. In that time, it's become a vibrant communal space.

What's stopping your downtown from creating a street like this?

Learn the language of the architectural style to manipulate it successfully, rather than copy the architecture. ~ Peter Kiliddjian

If the massing or volume for a building isn’t correct, it doesn’t matter how many elements you add, the building isn’t correct. ~ Glenn Pratt

Pictured are two things that most zoning codes have rendered illegal:

Missing middle housing.

Alleys.

Both are key to building livable, economically resilient communities.

When a building passes a certain scale, the building should no longer be designed as a vernacular building, but classical. ~ Stefanos Polyzoides @moulepolyzoides

To explain zoning to my family, for holiday dinner I’m gonna ask to put salads on one table, drinks on another, sides on a third table and the main dish in the living room.
Then watch the traffic chaos as everyone tries to eat.
That’s how suburbs create traffic out of thin air

@jkellerfsu ❤️ this!

[Donald Shoup @DonaldShoup]

Free parking at work clogs streets, boosts emissions, and isn’t fair to commuters who can’t use this popular perk. But there’s a very easy way to fix it https://t.co/m7IgfY0Yw5 via @citylab
