I think I am a Khrushchev communist fan girl now.

"but what people need is apartments. They don’t have time to gaze admiringly at silhouettes; they need houses to live in!"

NIMBY org.

@jletanaka @StrongTowns Go win housing battles in the trenches. I'll probably agree with 90% of those. Hang out on Twitter and shout into the echo chamber. That's cool, too.

Just don't pretend to be a serious and thoughtful movement about housing policy. It's obvious YIMBY is not.

[Connor Crowley @crowleycf]

@vanillaopinions And rent control.

Just like NYC these statistics are never applicable to new arrivals.

Daily reminder that ethno-states are terrible and America should continue to force/push for their neighborly integration and ultimate end.

Europeans need to grow up into actual Europeans.

That's their state leader, btw

My NYC construction brain cannot comprehend this.

And I have done some sketchy radio tower shit.

Massive Respect to this Air Con Engineer. 🫡

Deserves to be paid a CEO salary for this!

@mattyglesias Berlin is 40% foreign born if I remember.

@notkavi UES remains the best piece of Urbanism in the world.

But we can still do better.

@StefanFSchubert Europe is and isn't a thing.

Ultimately it is about 200 years behind the USA in its federalism and still need to get rid of it's stupid little ethno-state problem.

Zou dit het slechtste stukje fietspad van de @ProvUtrecht zijn? Ik dacht dat dit punt (Doorn) zou worden verbeterd maar dat duurt blijkbaar nog even...

@MikeHowton @YIMBYLAND Barely anything in NYC.

Single family homes have a huge tax advantage.

[Connor Crowley @crowleycf]

@K_singh_P @sam_d_1995 They are very common in NL.

Except on buses. Buses refuse to move without payment.

@reneecallier What's a stop sign?

@Noahpinion Thus can be said of many places given that America is not a stupid small ethno-state.

[Connor Crowley @crowleycf]

@brons_matt @YIMBYLAND It's part of NYC but single family homes are definitely not urban densities.

[Connor Crowley @crowleycf]

@mad_muppet @JMVenz @YIMBYLAND

[Connor Crowley @crowleycf]

@jrouldz @YIMBYLAND The land and location is highly coveted.

If they were allowed, most of these buildings would be demolished and hundreds of units built in their place.

[Connor Crowley @crowleycf]

@JMVenz @YIMBYLAND These are suburban densities, largely single family mansions.

Given land prices they can easily be upzonned to real urban densities.
