This is an interesting tweet. I also think what North Americans sometimes perceive as "banning cars" is, in quite a few European towns and cities, building underground parking.

Right. A lot of the "very nice" European city centers and towns depend on being able to cheaply bury and tunnel things.

There's also the question of what does "sidewalk" mean in Japan. I suspect they actually only installed them under the sidewalks of arterials. Some residential streets have things that look like sidewalks (more so than in Tokyo), but many don't...they're essentially "woonerfs" pic.twitter.com/wOck72k28Y

Just because it used to have that many people doesn't mean it's zoned for it now. Philly didn't lose 600k people because buildings got torn down, it lost them because household sizes shrunk...because tiny row houses houses that once had five or six people now have two or three twitter.com/jblumgart/stat…

I assume they're referring to being so hostile to development that the East New York rezoning – to build affordable housing that these vouchers can be used at – was mapped to avoid touching Inez's district much twitter.com/thecitywandere…

"It is difficult to reconcile unfettered warehouse growth..." ...it's not unfettered! It's limited by bulk restrictions, parking requirements & use zoning to map them out of residential areas. They're hard to build already, hence why only one modern multistory facility has been

Amazing how NYC pols want to stop all development in industrial zones. First resi rezoning in IBZ were out. Then self-storage. Then hotels. Reynoso wanted retail & office off-limits. Now Brannan wants a special permit (that means a ban) on WAREHOUSES! crainsnewyork.com/op-ed/neighbor…

Like so much infrastructure (European-style underground trash collection!), if you can build it at reasonable costs, it's worthwhile. But North American cities cannot build underground infrastructure at reasonable costs, so we can't have nice things thestar.com/news/gta/2020/… pic.twitter.com/UyvGpEZvXI

Peter Cohen was against SB 35 too, though. Peter Cohen is against anything that leads to more buildings. That's just what he does...opposes building in San Francisco sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl… pic.twitter.com/FUGXkX9J0r

NYC already has this! This is only for projects that *already meet the zoning code*

Just stumbled across a document that shows the transit expense budget increasing by 22% over five years while the national inflation rate was 6%. Starvation rations? Doesn't seem so.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed wants to put a measure on the ballot that would allow developers whose projects meet the city zoning code and which contain 13-20% affordable housing to sidestep discretionary approvals nytimes.com/2020/02/05/us/…
