I work in a planning office, and there's a hilarious constant war between the Environmental people who want to turn abandoned properties into Solar Fields and the Economic Development people who want to turn them into warehouses. I just wish there was a way to do both.

luxury handset posted:what kind of planning? you said in a different thread you're not familiar with the term CBD which to me is like saying you work in a mechanic shop and you've never heard of a differential. not trying to call you out here, just curious Comprehensive. We don't have any cities in our region which I think would have a CBD, and I fell backwards into the job but it's not commonly used around the office either.

Insanite posted:Cape Cod isn't connected particularly well to Boston by mass transit, nor does it have a glut of decent jobs. I agree that encouraging people to downsize--maybe even direct payments to encourage it--could be good, but you're not discouraging car commuting that way. I guess some of the Cape is threatened by climate change, too, but that's maybe too much bleakness for me tonight. It's ok SouthCoast Rail is coming any day now...any...day...now (I have a home on the cape, and transit there sucks. For the cost of the cape flyer train you may as well rent a car)

Brutalism works best with lots of greenery, vines, climbers, water features, etc.

I need some good examples of planning agency or MPO websites. I have plenty of bad ones already. Any good, modern, responsive and interactive ones out there?

Interesting Tom Scott video on a Scottish building that's too historic to tear down, but too run down and graffitied to do anything else with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtkmDmMzZO8

I love how cake and eat it too towns can be. "We want economic growth and new jobs but no changes to taxes and we don't want to develop anything"

Plus it's so easy to install bollards in the name of Safety. Especially in Israel.

https://twitter.com/nikdecostaklipa/status/1760279176404251109?t=pMED-KxI_UAWe5nOYPlfRg  MA Gov is slapping the first city in the state for noncompliance with a denser/affordable housing law. There are at least a half dozen to a dozen other towns that would do what Milton is doin if they let them, so I imagine the Gov is going to spank them hard. Losing a 140k seawall grant is a start.

That 140 will probably go another actually eligible recipient, not into the state coffers. The state hosed up by cutting taxes but the MBTA stuff and Milton about to get pounded are two different things.
