      Or just build six to eight story blocks with internal courtyards and no parking like they have in Berlin. More floor space for everybody, especially families with children, less pretending that faking twee antebellum dollhouses imparts a high quality of life.https://twitter.com/CharlestonArchi/status/1239211397369737217 …

      Another benefit of fine grained urbanism vs. block-sized mega buildings: If there is a viral pandemic, in the smaller scale fewer people share entrances, while mega-buildings have HUNDREDS of people sharing the same entrance and the same hallways. pic.twitter.com/yYXGxRtnjk

      The problem with both of those pictures is that they propose schemes for putting ~200 small units on a block that can clearly fit ~500 huge ones. Neither is humanist design, they're both playing to meaningless constraints, car use on one hand and Instagram urbanism on the other.

      I'm a big fan of the enormous post-Soviet five-bed two-bath family flat because it's wonderful to live in, unlike LEED-certified car cubes or NIMBY-certified twee hipster hovels. People need room to stretch out, to store their stuff, to dedicate single rooms to single functions.

      Turns out you can make these buildings gorgeous too by applying either the Singapore "put plants all over it" method or by aping cute local architectural motifs. Aesthetics are mostly a landscaping problem, not an architectural one.

      My problem with the "new urbanist" crowd is that they're designing to their own spin on high modernist ideology while pretending it's humanist. Reject that and go for low modernism. Make things scalable and modular and then hand them to people and let them decide what to do.

      Things that actually positively impact quality of life: - lots of floor area - an actual study or home office - the ability to take two showers at once - a kitchen with more than one counter - in-unit laundry - a bedroom for each child - not paying $5000/month for the above

      Things that don't positively impact quality of life: - compact living spaces - working in the living room - prioritizing landscape over living space - twee decorative nonsense - waiting for your partner to shower in the morning - kids falling out of bunkbeds - high rent

      Replying to @mattparlmer

      The UK is particularly bad on the "compact living spaces" and "small windows" front
