Badger of Basra posted:Apropos of the impact of NEPA on project timelines - maybe it's not NEPA but there is definitely a lot of unnecessary (and not even legally required) process BS going on It's 2024 now so let's see what's happening! quote:L.A. Metro awards Vermont Transit Corridor Planning and Environmental Study to Vermont Corridor Partners The announcement doesn't make it super clear but it's either the "environmental study for medium term BRT project" in which case it's only a year late, or the "lon-germ rail study", in which case it's right on schedule.

To make housing more affordable through supporting laws that make housing ungodly expensive.

It reminds me of a survey from my province that indicated the average voter favoured a high level of services, low taxes, and no assumption of public debt. Like NO loving poo poo! I'd like magic too! It sounds great! What people ultimately want, and they will tell you this if you poll them on any subject, is any solution that allows them to continue living precisely the way they want, more conveniently, for less money. If you poll about specific policies, they will not think past the very immediate effects of the policy you just asked them about. Democracy has to stop being policy-level. It has to be goal-level, because people are really loving stupid. "Do we agree that affordable housing for humans is good? Yes? Okay, that's a mandate, let's get some experts to design evidence-based policy to achieve that goal" instead of asking specifically which policy people support.

Cugel the Clever posted:That sounds like work. Can't we instead talk endlessly about building tiny homes for the homeless, jerk ourselves off over the six units built, and then vehemently decry construction of multi-unit buildings where the smallest units have at least twice the square footage as inhumanely small? Bonus points if you talk about shoving the unfortunate into shipping containers, which is also a recurring theme for some unknowable reason.

PT6A posted:Bonus points if you talk about shoving the unfortunate into shipping containers, which is also a recurring theme for some unknowable reason. Because people look at the giant pile of used shipping containers and think they can come up with another way to reuse the waste even though they've never worked with shipping containers before. The people who have experience know most of the worthwhile uses are already done, and that shipping containers have a lot of issues for the other uses because they are made as cheaply as possible. https://www.theguardian.com/news/article/2024/may/06/netherlands-amsterdam-next-level-housing-crisis Here's a reminder that it's not just the anglosphere that has this housing crisis. Good old Amsterdam also has NIMBYs, a government that decided they only need to subsidize demand for housing and not support building additional housing for decades, and a housing crisis bad enough that there is a mass of fully employed homeless people.

Then you get stuff like this: https://www.courant.com/2022/12/16/glastonbury-lawsuit-seeks-to-block-developer-from-transforming-tobacco-warehouse-into-30-condos/ If I recall, this dipshit bought his house a few years or so prior, won this lawsuit, and then flipped his house for a few hundred thousand more than he bought it. There's a bill being considered right now called something like "Work Live Ride" that has a bunch of TOD provisions, but the biggest and raddest part of the bill is allowing city housing authorities to act as land developers outside their own cities. It's made all the worst people mad, including a group of morons that claim the housing issue in the state is because there are too many poors that can't afford houses. The bill passed the house a few days ago.

Philly just passed a city charter amendment that requires the city to pay for NIMBY groups' legal fees and sanctions when they engage in sanctionable behavior. I was really furious that this passed.
