@bobbyfijan Somewhat more supportive of this approach. I think it can work OK for missing middle/adu product.

but pre-approved plans do leave designers out of the CA process—where I think they have quite important role to play, especially in missing middle projects

[Sam Day @samj_day]

@bobbyfijan By “design books” are we talking about objective form based codes?

I think they tend to make good architects worse and bad architects better.

I don’t have a great solution. Maybe better art and design education in primary school. Developers and renters have to care more.

@AustinTunnell @valkenburgh Appearances aside, Could we just run a soldier course with fiberglass rebar through the brick cores over openings?

[Sam Day @samj_day]

@moseskagan @markasaurus Yes.

Spotlights pointing directly down are rarely a flattering way to light a space.

@bobbyfijan @Chris_arnade @Cobylefko Not sure we can meaningfully move this needle only using carrots.

You could easily offset transfer tax with lower impact fees, upzoning, and faster permitting.

[Sam Day @samj_day]

@bobbyfijan @Chris_arnade @Cobylefko Exactly,
So you support LA’s ULA, right?

Last weekend we won a ULI Oklahoma Impact Award for the Two Step Twin—a nine unit build for a couple of long term oriented investors.

@RealPhilycheese You like wonders huh?

[Sam Day @samj_day]

@laporte_colin Thank ya.
Around $200/ft in direct construction costs.
~$300/foot with all soft costs, land, GC/arch/dev fees etc.

@RealPhilycheese How does this save money?

[Sam Day @samj_day]

@EddieCoates Let’s do 8 projects better than it over the next 10 years.

[Sam Day @samj_day]

@svhughes Have not, trying to limit myself to projects within a 20 min bike ride of my house for now.

[Sam Day @samj_day]

@Cobylefko Thanks Coby!
