@SalAlbaneseNYC@ZohranKMamdani@NYCCouncil Sal I’ve been following you a long time and disagree on some issues but I admire your support of someone from a different ideology who genuinely wants to make NYC a better place. Great example to set thank you
Roughly one-third of all of Japan's urban building was done through a process of replotting land parcels and reconstructing homes to increase local density while making way for new infrastructure🧵
Conceptually, it's like this:
There was no central air so windows open was the only option in the summer. Black soot accumulated on the sills daily. It’s a privileged position to dictate that only new housing that fixes this 100%, versus improving the situation 90%, is acceptable.
Hap Simpson Park closed in Brevard. French Broad River up to the tops of the picnic tables and the bottom of park signs. Wilson Road closed at the Water Treatment Plant. Water over the roadway.
Thinking lately about the neighborhood in Buenos Aires where I spent a year - a lovely mix of building types that allowed generations to stay within blocks of their family but also have their own space w/transit and parks nearby! We could have this too 🥑
