@devonzuegel Hi! Aligned with this, I started a project with the mission to get more info on how our cities use public land! Come check it out: https://t.co/H8DtJiwsPK

[nuforpui @nuforpui]

Yes yes yes! This is the right way to think about public land management: it adds flexibility now and down the line so we can keep making the best use out of the land that we all use and share.

[Devon ☀️ @devonzuegel]

You get 2 nice characteristics if you skip street parking & instead opt for parking courts:

1. Streets are immediately more slender, without encroaching on drive lanes

2. Land used for parking is consolidated into a bigger chunk, allowing more possibilities for future reuse

African cities need to build if they’re going to accommodate the ~900 million people moving in btw now and 2050. 🌆

But an African YIMBY mvt will have to go beyond just upzoning & reforming land use regulations. It must address underlying factor markets: land, capital, & labor

[nuforpui @nuforpui]

Wise and needed words from @kurtislockhart . Go give it a read!

[Asterisk @asteriskmgzn]

Africa needs a YIMBY movement

What should it look like?

El fin de semana miles de personas se manifestaron por los precios de los alquileres.

Lo curioso es que el nivel de desinformación sobre el mercado inmobiliario es abrumador.

Hoy vamos a analizar el mercado de alquiler español con datos.

Después de estar todo el día de voluntario en la zona del desastre he podido comprobar la diferencia que hay entre la imagen que me había hecho por redes y la realidad.
Voy a intentar explicarlo para los que no estáis aquí.

US streets are incredibly dangerous by developed world standards, and have become much more dangerous since this chart was made. I don't think 50,000 senseless deaths a year is made less bad by the fact that we drive a lot.

Is Los Angeles in a housing crisis or not? Why do we keep calling it a crisis and then not doing the sorts of things you do in a crisis?

[Kurtis Lockhart @kurtislockhart]

This is why I love the work of @plamsonhall & others on using barebones planning/land use for urban expansion in LMICs.

Not only are barebones planning frameworks implementable/tractable.

They also help transition the informal to the formal on the urban periphery.

This ends up being a subsidy from the poorer residents to the wealthier car owners. At least some are getting creative with it—like this U-Haul turned art gallery!

[nuforpui @nuforpui]

Free on-street parking in Manhattan keeps making no sense to me. This picture illustrates the $$$ the city’s leaving on the table by not charging for it.

@MassimoMazzone4 Thank you Massimo for your kind words!

[Massimo Mazzone @MassimoMazzone4]

Nuria and Patrick at https://t.co/811aooUc7d are the best urban planners I had the fortune to get to know. Everything in their work is firmly based on the economics and trade-offs of the clients. One-stop shop for market-based urbanism and architecture.

[nuforpui @nuforpui]

All in all, the housing unit is compact and effective. It provides flexibility and comfort at competitive market rate costs!

I’m honored to be partnering with @AlexUgorji_ for this week’s Morazan Monday. At Fitted Projects, we designed the urban plan and the buildings.

The front bedroom allows families to have a multipurpose room. It can be an extra bedroom, a gym or a street-facing business, among many other uses. This is of course because there are no zoning exclusions. And people are making full use of this flexibility!
