Cul-de-sacs are like that friend who always needs to borrow money and promises to pay you back, but never does. They eat up more revenue in maintenance than they generate and take up land that could be developed more productively.

They’re financially unsustainable, period.

What if we designed cities, and the land-uses, densities and infrastructure that make them what they are, so that daily activity and exercise was just an ordinary, “invisible” part of every day life?

It’s actually not that hard. You just have to change priorities. #HealthyCities

Just because YOU don’t want to live in an apartment or ride a bike to work doesn’t mean OTHER PEOPLE should be unable to do so.

Let’s reform our zoning, permitting, and parking laws so we all have the freedom to choose how we live in society.

As the housing crisis continues, reforms to lower building costs are sweeping North America. Momentum is on our side. It’s time to end parking mandates.

What appears to be a duplex is an 8plex. From a public realm contextual street interface, you would never be able to tell. What traditionally is a single-family home and could have been a duplex now allows for four three-bed houses and four one-bedroom houses. This can’t happen fast enough across N.A. #missingmiddlehousing
