"Anak muda butuh tempat tinggal dekat kantor, sedangkan rumah subsidi lokasinya jauh dan melelahkan. Tidak heran mereka lebih memilih menyewa." Hasil studi menyebutkan bahwa 49 persen generasi Z dan milenial memilih tidak membeli rumah karena harga yang tidak terjangkau. Sementara itu, sekitar 70 persen generasi senior menyatakan lebih memilih tinggal di rumah sewa.

Apa karena transportasi umum masih kurang terintegrasi?

A recent NIMBY lawsuit in a city unintentionally nullified its entire zoning code, raising questions about legal oversight in urban planning. Meanwhile, Maine's zoning reform advances, and the Supreme Court declines a key eviction moratorium case. How can we ensure zoning laws are upheld? #UrbanPlanning #ZoningReform

A pedestrian walkway passing above 21 lanes of on-ramps and off-ramps to the M8 motorway in the Anderston area of Glasgow. It's some fifty feet in the air, is very exposed to the environment (particularly the howling gales and driving rain that are not exactly uncommon in Scotland), and took about 50 years to complete. Probably not the city's best bit of urban planning.

In a recent podcast Jonathan Tarleton discusses his new book "Homes for Living: The Fight for Social Housing and a New American Commons", which details the dramatic battle within Brooklyn and Manhattan social housing co-ops as residents grapple with life-changing decisions: preserve affordable housing for future generations or cash out for massive personal profit.

Moin #Fedipower. Es gab mal ein (englischsprachiges) Satire-Video zu #induziertemVerkehr i.R. von #UrbanPlanning. Dabei haben #Verkehrsplaner:innen bei einer kommunalen Sitzung gezeigt, wie sie versuchen, mittels toller Modelle immer mehr Autoverkehr in der Stadt in den Griff zu bekommen u.a. durch neue Straßen. Was zunächst klappte und dann die Modelle Alarm schlugen. Irgendwer ne Idee dazu? Mit der Suchfunktion hier habe ich leider gar nichts in die Richtung entdecken können...#autokorrektur #vekehrswende #FediHelp

The mayor of Christchurch city, NZ, Phil Mauger, is in the news backing the government’s proposal to cap councils’ rates increases. The article on #RNZ says that Mauger “agreed with [finance minister Nicola] Willis that councils had engaged in wasteful spending”.

Ah, you must be thinking, surely Mauger must mean our $683 million new stadium. That’s a big reason why Christchurch rates have gone up by on average almost 25% during the 3 years of Mauger’s term, while inflation had only risen about 8%.

No, of course not. He’s pointing at our cycle ways. “We've wasted money on how we have designed and built cycleways”. The council has budgeted on average $21 million annually over the next 10 years for cycleway and footpath maintenance and construction.

😔

Remember that it’s election year this year.
