Parking minimums are strange, out-dated and an unscientific law that is present in many city's zoning code. Great @StrongTowns article about what can be done about them: https://t.co/nKmLykVW3W

Transforming the East End into a walkable district would feature mixed income apartments and retail space where visitors and residents can connect to shopping and business on foot. We like the idea.

New Houston ordinance allows property owners to opt out of building sidewalk, but must pay a fee instead, preventing “sidewalks to nowhere” and helping to repair existing sidewalks. https://t.co/7JktsyOsfm
