urban planning is anthropogenic global warming on the local scale, the problem is obvious and so are the solutions but lmao at figuring out how to collectively persuade all the actors involved who have an incentive to gently caress everything up to knock it off until well after everything is irreversibly hosed up

There is actually extremely low consensus among experts on how to deal with GCC beyond extremely high level things. Lots of groups are going in totally opposite directions in fact.

It's a good analogy for this thread really, it's easy to say what should be done given a clean slate, incredibly hard to figure out what must be done given existing reality.

A great example of this would be the Phoenix metro: given the enormous sprawl an efficient public transpiration system is almost nearly impossible outside of the city core. So what do you do in situations like that-- the """"obvious""" solution would be to burn it all to the ground and replace it with an ideally planned city with integrated blah blah blah but guess what buttercup that aint happening.

This is precisely why WWII ended up being great for europe on the planning front, they could basically start from scratch using more modern methods and analysis whereas a lot of the US was built in the late 1800s early 1900s.

Also the US is so loving big it made a lot of sense to not build super dense.

this would be a natural experience to have if most of your peer group is renters, or if you live in a city without a lot of older single family housing. in many cities though a large and important component of the gentrified are older homeowners on fixed incomes


The increases in COL are easily offset by the rise in home prices, this makes literally no sense hth. Like drat your avacodo toast now costs a dollar more, what will i ever do ???? *house is worth 2x and it's easy to pull money out of it*
