    Interesting how US and Latin American cities are/were built out in totally different ways. US cities are rows and rows of identical speculative development, with parts ordered from factories. Latin American cities today seem totally owner-built. What accounts for this?pic.twitter.com/N2Vuw7ygKp

        And where you do find this kind of speculative, large-scale tract development in Mexico, it's subsidized affordable housing. Why does the market produce such uniform subdivisions in the US and Canada, but such incremental development in Latin America? https://www.wired.com/story/mexico-housing-developments/ …pic.twitter.com/zOqTs1WKt4

        I think Latin American countries today are as wealthy as, and in many cases way wealthier than, the US was in the 19th century when so many identical rows of speculative brownstone were built in New York City...https://twitter.com/p3palazzo/status/1104934676190429184 …

        A much smaller share of the Latin American population can afford the real estate market than in the US.

        Market Urbanism Retweeted Benjamin Ross

        True enough for the second picture, but spec builders were building rows of identical townhouses in Manhattan 200 years ago, back when there was essentially no government intervention beyond laying out the street grid (which Latin America also has) and banning wood constructionhttps://twitter.com/BenRossTransit/status/1104935128923553792 …

        The market alone didn't do this in US. Industrializing housing construction was a big federal govt policy goal under Hoover & Roosevelt. Closely related to promotion of big developers over small ones

        What are the earliest example of mass speculative homebuilding? @bensh__ has some contenders: Place des Vosges/Place Royale in early 17th c. Marais (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_des_Vosges …), and for the New World, Carstairs Row, completed in 1803, in Philadelphia (https://hiddencityphila.org/2016/08/on-jewelers-row-tracing-the-origins-of-702-710-sansom-street/ …)

        .@crzwdjk points out that there's been more private spec development in Mexico than meets the eye, citing this example in Morelia, Michoacán – many of the houses have been incrementally altered, but they were clearly built together https://www.google.com/maps/@19.6862381,-101.1498256,3a,90y,151.32h,91.38t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1saekVaWob4u1eWSBij8V2fA!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DaekVaWob4u1eWSBij8V2fA%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D305.0022%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656 …pic.twitter.com/Oq0vf9GKjm

        Based on what I've heard anecdotally in my family's part of the Caribbean, people will buy the land first, and then slowly build the home on their own. Sometimes, you can only afford a few rooms, and eventually some add on with additional money in the future.

        It's easy to get away with something like this when there's minimal code regulations and enforcement. I suspect MX gets the nicer version of it given that MX isn't that poor.

        Just have to born there to know the answer, nothing interesting. Building a house is a years-long project that you build a room at a time according to what you can afford at the time. Most houses are not painted and don't have the finishing because that's the most expensive phase
