    It does exist… it’s just way too rare and expensive for regular people to afford.

    "The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art...Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind. With language itself, it remains man’s greatest work of art." —Lewis Mumford.

    This is the kind of place I want to live in, but it doesn't exist anywhere in my country and it's illegal to build it.

    Whats wrong with this place? Nothing, except it is too expensive because there is too little of it.

    We can end the artificial shortage of nice urban places in America that's been driving up the cost of living from coast to coast. We built nice places once upon a time, and we can do it again! /thread

    Just for kicks I was looking at apartments and houses in Tokyo. Contrary to popular belief, you can get a pretty big place (800 sq ft, 2 bedrooms) for less than $1500/mo.

    I’m always pretty impressed at how many small businesses are in new-ish Toronto buildings. The more new buildings you have and Toronto has LOTS), the harder it is for them all to find credit tenants, and the more willing they are to subdivide for small businesses

    Yonge Street, North York. It’s one place where new condos get the retail right. Small, narrow storefronts allow a better variety of tenants.
