Passionate about Cincinnati, Housing, and Climate. We need robust frequent public transit & protected bike lanes 🚲🛴🚃🚝 All views my own

This weekend, along with a group of 12 from @AllAboardOhio SW chapter I had the pleasure of taking @Amtrak from Cincinnati to Chicago.

This will be a thread 🧵 of my experience taking the #cardinal line

Cool building

Washington unanimously legalized scissor stairs, a building code reform that frees up to 56% more living space per floor.

Less wasted space means cheaper homes on smaller lots.

Most US states banned this since the 1970s for no good reason.

Cincinnati cutting up its dense basin and easy access to the riverfront is pretty remarkable in comparison form.

As we get close to finishing up the school year, this is a reminder that we still have way too many crashes in school zones involving kids. This is data provided by DOTE in a safe routes to schools meeting we had today.

I love living in my six-flat style building in Cincinnati. Every city needs to build thousands of these.

Cities all over the US still need this kind of development alongside what we still manage to build today

[Ollier Smurthwaite @OS_Architects]

We are developing some proposals for a modern mansion block with taller ceilings, more windows, better communal areas and a private garden. We’ve been researching Albert Hall Mansions and Richard Norman Shaw who is credited with making flats desirable to the aspiring Victorian middle classes @archi_tradition @Aesthetic_City @createstreets

Traveling between some of the Midwest's largest cities doesn't have to suck. If you choose, you could be relaxing on a train instead:

Cincinnati if we would have had the courage to go with the 64 mile early-mid 70s exclusive guideway heavy rail rapid transit system that would have been $2 billion...

We shelved it in 1977 because of costs and focus on freeway const... now think of how much that would be now.

[Jarrett Walker @humantransit]

The worst kind of development is not low-density sprawl. It's high-density configured to be unwalkable and unservable by public transit. High-density = high traffic, and this guarantees all that traffic is in cars. Sadly the US exported this idea all over the world.

[Chris Wetterich @ChrisCinciBiz]

Why does the initial concept call for a dog park in a vacant parking lot instead of more housing?

[Joshua Junker @JoshJunker2]

What we did to North/South Fairmount in latter half of 20th century through 2021 is wholly underdiscussed but worse imo than Walnut Hills or Evanston... just no semblance of a neighborhood core business district anymore.

I should be able to take a trains into Cleveland that don't run only at 2am:

Ohio could easily have one of the best statewide rail networks if we gave a shit and actually funded it:

can confirm: this bridge rules

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:

Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M

That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.

It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
