          I like the blog post "Let's Build A Traditional City (And Make A Profit)" by @AndrewAPrice: http://www.andrewalexanderprice.com/blog20130330.php#.WxkNIJwpA3x … And of course the entire "Traditional City/Post-Heroic Materialism" series by @NathanNWE is a classic: http://newworldeconomics.com/category/traditional-city-post-heroic-materialism/ …

          tldr; Build narrow streets. Optimize places for people rather than cars. Hide parking underground or within city blocks. Cities that do this (cf. Florence, Kyoto) are crazy profitable and people fly around the world just to experience them.

          Building a @LambdaSchool campus city IRL?? Could definitely solve the student housing problem if you can make the ‘city’ itself profitable.
