@archpaper great article but please correct "China has cut the Beijing-Shanghai travel time to four hours with a maglev line." The world's only high speed maglev line in commercial operation is 30km long and runs from Shanghai's airport and barely reaches the city center.
@kennethsideas@murkee@geofftech I don't know much about the Airbnb market but I'd probably check the Upper East Side or Upper West Side before Brooklyn or Queens (unless that's where you want to be).
@kennethsideas@murkee@geofftech Was going to say the same thing. e.g. The Draper, between the Empire State Building & Bryant Park, has rooms during the week for $175 (after taxes) with 4.4 stars on Google Maps. Same price as the cheapest options in Newark.
My favorite is The Graduate on Roosevelt Island.
@spd_bird I like reading the reviews for bridges.
One of the runways at Lambert St. Louis had a Google Maps location for a bit. had some great reviews, of course.
Impossible to overstate how important it is to recognize that “density along arterials” is a POLITICAL choice to concentrate inexpensive multifamily housing along dangerous polluted streets to “preserve” the exclusivity of single family neighborhoods.
It’s not good policy!
@rice_rust_belt And the ADA was passed as a law, not as a building code. Cities can't opt out of it and it's much more difficult to be grandfathered in.
