Re: all the city planning talk.

Couldn't every problem with parking and cities and the uglyness and everything just be fixed with enough underground parking garages?

Here in Baltimore we have the Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower, of which all the best pictures are thin and narrow or decades old. Here's a picture of it in its full current context:

You can see ugly Queen Anne houses throughout all of America, many of which were built ~100 years ago. I'll admit that that is horrible.

Are there any high-rise apartment building split-level units? An eighty-story high-rise divided into three-floor units, with three bedrooms and a bath up top, a living room, dining room, and kitchen in the middle, and utility space/rumpus room on the bottom would be a sight to behold. Even with a divided entry. If this doesn't exist, why not?

I'm pretty sure the glass part is easy to figure out.

It's still a sickness. You could post a rendering of a 10x 10 metal and glass cube in a woodland setting on your Facebook right now, and it would get 50 likes. Even if you only have 10 friends. People just love that poo poo.

I still say, and I've said it in this thread before, that parking requirements are fine as long as it's UNDERGROUND parking. The only problems are wah wah wah it's expensive <fart>.
