@clmarohn They have that fancy sign that says that they've made a "place"! If you can name it, that's all you need to do, no? (kidding)

@StiltzMcGee @JeffSpeckFAICP This pairs well with @JeffSpeckFAICP 's article. Also, @StrongTowns #growthponzischeme https://t.co/LVlCsjWcTj

Another great piece by @JeffSpeckFAICP !

@izurietavarea @ggraham @stevemouzon My creds are on my LinkedIn. I don’t have an economics degree. Should that matter?

[Joe Minicozzi @JoeUrbanThree]

@clmarohn “If the City charged just $5.50/day for each of its free spaces, that would raise $6 billion in annual revenue—revenue that's currently being left on the curb.”

WOW.

Straight out of the old advertising messaging strategy: "the more you spend, the more you save!"

Don't ask if you need a vehicle over 6,000 lbs. Just buy it because you'll get a tax break. Amazing.

[Joe Minicozzi @JoeUrbanThree]

@Boenau Any pickup over 6k lbs qualifies. As well as a Yukon or Suburban.

[Joe Minicozzi @JoeUrbanThree]

@charlesincities @CityLab Ironic that they’re on mass transit.

[Joe Minicozzi @JoeUrbanThree]

@Boenau @ProfitGreenly @Boenau Google “range rover tax break” and check out the law that supports it. There’s a policy reason why there are more of these 6k lb vehicles around. Dothemath!

[Joe Minicozzi @JoeUrbanThree]

@WalkableDFW You hate America. Kidding.

[Joe Minicozzi @JoeUrbanThree]

@UrbanizedOkie @downesphoto @pmonies @cityofokc Can you send us the addresses that you are looking at? I think we have OKC data. Also, as a simple rule, you can do your own "value per acre" analysis for tax comparisons by just dividing the value into the acreage. Do it for this property against the houses across the street.

@bernicebuffalo @bernicebuffalo I don’t think these folks are into the use of ‘facts’.

@aaron_renn The puppy mill lobby must be incredibly strong.

Accountability and culture change is needed.

Many people who want to change things for the better in their place want an example of another ... https://t.co/SVQWe7v71g

[Joe Minicozzi @JoeUrbanThree]

@JimBarrows @cdempc Tracks with everything we’ve seen. We use “per acre” rather than “per foot” cause it better demonstrates the issue. Also, land is commonly broken into acre units.

[Joe Minicozzi @JoeUrbanThree]

@unreckable @the_transit_guy And for extra fun, I put a very beautiful Italian hilltown, that's been around for a few 1,000 years (with a pop. of several thou.) side-by-side with a walmart. It helps to understand them if you've been to any of these places, but I like maps too.

[Joe Minicozzi @JoeUrbanThree]

@unreckable @the_transit_guy Lots of points. For starters, the use of land for placemaking. The start of the thread was about the Vatican vs. Houston, so I used our website to put them side by side at the same scale.

@BrentToderian @DavidZipper @BrentToderian Brent: there’s a ridiculous tax break in the US for cars over 6k lbs. google “Range Rover tax break”
