    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"

    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

    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

    Very exciting news – the city is planning to put 2.5 million sq. ft. of affordable housing close to transit in the high-opportunity neighborhood of Greenwich Village!

    I feel like once you've fucked up your townhouses this bad, you should just replace them with huge towers? What are you really protecting here?

    This is the rule in particular that makes it now basically impossible to build townhouses in any zone below R6 on Staten Island:

    Practically speaking, it is now nearly impossible to build townhouses in R3-2 on Staten Island, even if they're theoretically allowed, due to the LDGMA parking rules, described in the link in my earlier tweet. Hence why permitting on the island has dropped so dramatically:

    Actually less than 6% over a long period like that. Unless you have 4+ units? In which case you are not in the tax class that they're talking about

    She doesn't even get the terminology right. It's really weird

    Lynn Ellsworth (founder of Human Scale NYC, owner of a $3-4 million Tribeca co-op built more densely than current zoning allows) clearly feels very threatened by . From her newsletter:

    The façade deaths are usually from turn-of-the-century terra cotta, so naturally, the Dept. or Buildings is going to order EVEN MORE sidewalk sheds around buildings like mid-century NYCHA projects that are completely terra cotta-free

    Please familiarize yourself with the de Blasio administration's Mandatory Inclusionary Housing policy, which mandates affordable units in any rezonings, such as this one, and which this developer is planning to abide by

    Huge thanks to these placard-holding cops (including a disabled one) for preserving ’s heritage. If not for them selflessly putting their own private vehicles in the way of the street sweeper just now, the trash beneath their cars might have been destroyed forever
