@RileyTX @alanthefisher @Ericrse37986 I grew up here brother. I’m not new to any of this. Say something, don’t just tell me to “do my own research”

@RileyTX @alanthefisher @Ericrse37986 What has Connie done for sf except make it unlivable expensive to rent in?

@otterbo54348271 @stefanoscalia Where in sf do you feel unsafe? And why? I never feel unsafe here!

@mspringut How would you say you split efforts between trying to bring down cost vs. scale production vs. improve quality?

[Dean Stirrat🌐🧦🥑 e/acc @StirratDean]

@R2rule1 @mspringut I think the issue is the belt sander. Doesn’t matter how good the scan is if the belt sander has a low resolution

@beffjezos This is such a dogshit take. Being anti-art is deeply cringe and just telling on yourself

@bilalmahmood Nice

@Noahpinion Uh, do you ride the train or bus? It’s always packed. I only know a few people that own a car here. I think you need to try it out

@beffjezos I think you’re really out of touch with the normal person. I tend to agree with you but the only people that are full steam ahead on AI are a small bubble of folks in the bay. The average person has been hearing for years about all the chaos to come and seeing none of benefits

@bilalmahmood Did you see this? Let’s just make our design requirements match and allow some amount of by-right approval so speed up housing and reduce price. https://t.co/HBM5ESCQTX

Does the public prefer traditional architecture? Half a century of surveys find:

https://t.co/SojOiJGEbV

- Between 60 and 95 percent prefer traditional architecture;
- This pattern holds across gender, class, race, nationality and political views;
- More traditional densification schemes seem to attract remarkably high levels of survey support;
- Laypeople and design professionals respond dramatically differently, with professionals far more favourable to modern styles.

Research is still at an early stage, and many questions remain. Personally, I am particularly interested in how the public would respond to a non-traditional but richer and more decorative style? I think they might like it, but we don’t have hard evidence yet.

But the results are already puzzling. Why do people end up buying buildings that are so different to the buildings they say they prefer? How did we end up in this odd situation? What can we do about it?

@rexsalisbury @otterbo54348271 No where to put an e-bike. I can carry a road bike up to my apartment

[Dean Stirrat🌐🧦🥑 e/acc @StirratDean]

@sfboehner @lukeisandberg lol, all my friends work as teachers, baristas, bartenders etc. Why would anyone own a car? It’s extremely expensive. It would be many hundreds of dollars a month in parking, insurance, lease payments, maintenance, gas, etc. do you realize how much that is!

[Dean Stirrat🌐🧦🥑 e/acc @StirratDean]

@sfboehner @lukeisandberg Wealthy bikers!? I don’t own a car buddy. Basically all my friends have no personal car. This isn’t because of wealth it’s because cars are the second highest expense behind rent. Are you seriously claiming bike lanes are for the rich???

[Dean Stirrat🌐🧦🥑 e/acc @StirratDean]

@sfboehner Worse outcomes? What does this mean? Specifically what is bad about bike lanes. Think about sf in 100 years. We should have less space for cars as people use other forms of transit and the city gets less dense. We should have more room for pedestrians and bike infrastructure

[Dean Stirrat🌐🧦🥑 e/acc @StirratDean]

@sfboehner Shouldn’t we eventually have a protected bike lane on ever street in the city?

[Dean Stirrat🌐🧦🥑 e/acc @StirratDean]

@sfboehner Why is this a waste?

[Dean Stirrat🌐🧦🥑 e/acc @StirratDean]

@sdamico The ICE one is valid and I’m glad people are concerned with that

[Dean Stirrat🌐🧦🥑 e/acc @StirratDean]

@Robotbeat complete cherry pick since BART is running at a fraction of capacity...
