"What I love about great urbanism is it speaks to quality of life: Moms relaxing as kids play freely and find independence. Moms instinctively know how important this is not to mention the lower cost of living. Now we need politicians to listen and legalize urbanism.

"Great urbanism starts with a walkable street (versus a parking lot or stroad.) What makes a street walkable is charming local retail + a safe street + trees. While Residential-over-Retail buildings are not *necessary* for a walkable street they can revitalize dying commercial corridors by bringing in residents who shop; and one-story retail has unused space above it that is perfect for housing. The safer the street + the more activated the retail + the more consistent the height = the more inviting bringing in more shoppers"

Why do we need highways encircling Manhattan when 80% of residents dont own a car For deliveries NYC implemented a nighttime / off-hour delivery program and stores saved $. NYC can scale it up. Day time: cabs buses + congestion pricing to manage personal cars. Nighttime: deliveries Westside Highway and FDR parks .or go big and build housing. Theres room for 200k new apartments.

"It's also not true: land is a tiny sliver of the cost (blue wedge of the pie -- land and construction). Cities add the red and pink and yellow: parking red tape delays fees rules. This translates in CA to a tiny number of projects "penciling out" and getting built so demand outpaces supply and the shortage sends prices skyrocketing. Vienna has the lowest rents in Western Europe (1/2 Paris and London 1/4 NYC) by flipping the script: the city deals with it's own red tape and fully permits housing ("Ready to Issue" permit) so builders do what they are good at: just build. Despite higher labor"

"In LA we have found that the entire neighborhood will actually advocate for density if it also builds a walkable community -- which is the #1 most sought-after amenity in real estate. High quality human-scale gentle density with ground-floor neighborhood-serving retail along a slow safe street with trees & bistro lights can create a vision that is universally popular. Then the problem is no longer neighborhood pushback on housing (neighbors are waving their arms asking for housing); it's inflexible city bureaucracies that are unable to reduce red tape delays and punitive rules and create"

"Courtyard neighborhoods are about creating an entire street of density - which means working with parcel owners who will never sell and persuading them to develop themselves to create a high-functioning walkable neighborhood. If every underutilized parcel on a block is developed with activated neighborhood-serving ground floor retail the housing creates the walkability. A good program also solves the collective action problem"

"A relatively uncontroversial source of free bus funding would be FastTrack lanes on NYCs highways basically dynamic congestion pricing for just one lane of each highways. They work well in VA TX and CA. They take in a ton of revenue while they encourage carpooling price congestion and move trips to off-hours. Speed cameras are another source. And of course - Donald Shoups parking plan charge for parking in affluent neighborhoods (he estimated = $3billion/year for $5/per spot tho dynamic pricing would put it at market rate of $30/day). https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017567823589949819"
