Mark Hogan added,
But...in practice is this a big issue in US metros?
@alon_levy makes a strong case that most US cities need denser CBDs to make good transit remotely viable. And the development in Bay Area downtowns seems to mostly be replacing either surface lots or 1-story structures?
Right now we zone for all or nothing in most cities: high density for large apt buildings or single family
Yeah, but older US cities still have an enormous installed base of missing middle.
(And also thr Bay Area's housing prices scream KWCIMBY, not townhouses and ADUs.)
I'm think more like five story apartment buildings where right now we have very low rise commercial space and parking (in many cases). I'm not saying ADUs alone are going to solve this.
Yeah, but that's not really middle density, it's uncommon in non-NY American cities and so are taller residential buildings.
My original tweet was about 5 story buildings vs high rises...
(And really even three story buildings would be a vast improvement in many of the BA suburbs)
Aside: Totally wild to visit my in laws in the South Bay, where in a housing crisis immense amounts of labor and materials are going toward turning buildings formerly occupied by only one family into ... much larger buildings that will be occupied by only one family.
That’s what the “jobs rich” areas of SB50 are intended to apply to....
