@paulg @StephenM Laws that require experts to understand are lousy laws.

@UrbanCourtyard I have a free tool that can maybe be of some use. It allows submitting land readjustment and urban rule/form proposals publicly, so everyone can see them (and owners can vote/accept, eventually, acceptance part is WIP). But proposals do work now:

Disagree. I use LLMs to write code and I have tried to use them to write. The former works well, the latter does not. I've found onky one mode of doing that works, asking it to criticise my text, then reworking it on my own. Having LLM actually write sentences for me is destroying my stream of thought and feels awful. LLM can write a long text based on my bulletpoints but it always comes out radically different to what I would have written, even if directionally correct. It never writes my way, feels fake and it is simply exhausting to read it and think what's wrong, better to use that energy to simply write it.

@bswud I've built a tool that enables (up)zoning proposals by residents (or anyone for that matter). Not a fan of losing granularity though (your second image).

@bswud "it shields decisionmakers from blame"
This, I think. The propensity for litigation and the huge risk and expense involved does seem to be an Anglo thing. Probably a bigger issue than in-house vs outsourcing.

[Poglavar Svemira @PoglavarS]

@NateAFischer What aspects are you sceptical about? She's right. There is a lot of nuance to urban form, the "missing middle" can come in many forms including bad ones.

[Poglavar Svemira @PoglavarS]

@UrbanCourtyard @jasonc_nc I have probably misread the plan and it's actually rooms that are single-aspect, not units. Single-aspect units should at least not be north-oriented. Rooms facing north are fine.

[Poglavar Svemira @PoglavarS]

@jasonc_nc @UrbanCourtyard Is there any reason why the PAB block also has some units that do not have two-side orientation?
Also, what is missing here (and might explain it) are the parcel boundaries.

The infrastructure for onchain finance is in place.

The next step is operating on top of it at an institutional scale.

Today, Tenderly expands its product offering to enable onchain institutions to model every move before capital is exposed. 🧵

@UrbanCourtyard Do you have an opinion about whether parcels (if drawn from scratch as in Amsterdam) should each have a part of the courtyard, or whether the courtyard should be one big parcel co-owned by the perimeter buildings?

[Poglavar Svemira @PoglavarS]

@SCP_Hughes The reason why I would discount legal reasons (zoning, bas or permits) is -- in most of the world sprawl was technically illegal too, but it still happened. But it mostly happened on land that was private, only agricultural.

[Poglavar Svemira @PoglavarS]

The article is excellent and full of great info, but one of the premises is not convincing: relative poverty as blocker to sprawl. Other cities around the world have sprawled at same or lower levels of wealth. I suggest (without knowing) that the key for understanding the Spanish urbanisation pattern is either land ownership or some peculiar legal reason. The key piece of evidence is that spanish villages don't sprawl either. This is very strange. Why would a villager not build a house 300 meters away from the currently built-up area? It's not defense, Spain has been unified since ~1500. What makes most sense is because he didn't own any such land. If Spain is a country of large estates, not of small holders, it could explain why we don't see houses scattered around, as we do elsewhere. If villages are in fact surrounded with small privately owned plots, then there must be a legal reason of some sort. The extreme compactness of the villages just can't be natural, and can't be poverty-related either. (Cities are just villages writ large.)

@MacroJason What is the difference between CSN and an empire?

[Poglavar Svemira @PoglavarS]

@EliBenSasson You can make offers on land that are binding and conditional, which is a primitive that unlocks some use cases https://t.co/V2t2ZcBJpK

@lex_node What do you refer to when you say "sending messages" BTW, any particular protocol or platform in mind?

@AWar1586398 @Gavriel_Cohen I am wondering the same thing. Sure it spawns containers but the code that does it runs with all permissions...
