Also the high costs of building multifamily housing (compared to SFH) are quite high to the point that it’s a real problem. Our building codes are based on the anti-urban philosophy of early 20th c. reformers who thought that construction of apartments should be a last resort.

I was sharing it to highlight the ridiculous and bad arguments of left NIMBYism — I agree it doesn’t refute anything

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised either if Ohtani homered again tonight!

Curious marketing materials. Zacherl got rich from selling dried flower heads as insecticide

In Nantes, there is a big park planned south of an existing eco-district. In the spirit of ecological/ephemeral uses of land, the city is has put a construction waste recycling center on the site. Now, the residents of the southernmost apartments are organizing against it. Just kind of amusing (1/3)

Ok- Zacherlhaus in Vienna, built between 1903-05, designed by Jože Plečnik for an insecticide magnate

In what year would you guess this building was completed?

Julian Frost @serviceurbanisme.bsky.social · 20h

Begs the question, when is a building ever truly "completed"

Julian Frost @serviceurbanisme.bsky.social · 20h

I checked the historic aerials and it was built at the same time as the rest of them. The very low-density townhouse/maisonette sprinkled in is an interesting little trend in French ecodistricts -- makes sense I guess
