One million Spokanians by 2065?

I'd be willing to live at 122nd if we did this to the street

$250k is pretty fucking rad, even if they'd be better as stacked flats in a point access block.

Four bus lines in San Diego have stops that qualify for SB79

If only we had put the Orange Line in a tunnel under Milwaukie Ave 😔

I think it's very likely that the carbon emissions from concrete are dwarfed by the emissions from transportation that comes with people choosing suburban living due to the poor quality of American apartments.

A clean adoption of the Euro code as an alternative to the IBC/IRC is definitely the ideal scenario.

Give credit for the use of concrete in the building code by reducing the requirements for active fire protection systems in buildings that use it.

My guess would be a mix of cars being very expensive now, and smart phones.

Idk, distracted driving is a huge problem.

This all reads like they're not abandoning EVs so much as they're abandoning the all electric F150 lightning... which good. That thing is huge and ridiculously expensive.

I think these 4plexes are built under the IRC. Do you know if the IRC defines any minimum?

I'm shocked *SHOCKED* to learn that concrete and brick have better acoustic performance than the toothpicks and paper mache we're making homes out of now.

I HATE LIGHT WOOD FRAMING. I HATE LIGHT WOOD FRAMING. I HATE LIGHT WOOD FRAMING. I HATE LIGHT WOOD FRAMING. I HATE LIGHT WOOD FRAMING. I HATE LIGHT WOOD FRAMING. I HATE LIGHT WOOD FRAMING. I HATE LIGHT WOOD FRAMING. I HATE LIGHT WOOD FRAMING. I HATE LIGHT WOOD FRAMING. I HATE LIGHT WOOD FRAMING.

My fiance's first apartment was a mid-century concrete building in Columbus, Ohio. She never heard her neighbors when she lived there.

Maybe there's something to this "concrete between units" thing? 🤔

At our current home, which is in a duplex, we just chain up our bikes up along our side yard. That could maybe work for one of these if we got the back unit.

I just don't think anything short of shared bike parking is gonna work for multi-family housing.

A sunlight suite apartment building is usually gonna be better on the first criteria, though light wood framing remains a massive barrier to good acoustic performance.
