"..The high ground"

super sweet best pal posted:

Companies should experiment with arcological design. Employees could live, dine and be entertained in the same building where they work, cutting down on traffic and shrinking the suburbs.

I know it's horribly nerdy and definitely a financial and logistical nightmare but I'd like to see a moderately sized company experiment with something like this so we could see what effect it would actually have.

I too want to live at my job like they expect in ridiculous tech companies. Now there's no time off! But hey, there's a foosball table in the office now.

A guy who thinks "endless lovely tract housing in desert scrubland" is a model for how the real estate industry should work is not a supporter of higher density, mixed-use zoning, and "radically loosening the restrictions" would not get you higher density, mixed-use zoning, it would get you whatever developers see the biggest dollar signs in.

High density mixed use areas are just rich enclaves, theme parks where rich people can pretend to play community.
