Thanks to everyone who came out!

Hey Chicago YIMBYs and urbanists: we're co-hosting a happy hour tonight! See you there? www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket...

Brought this book along for my trip to Chicago. Really interesting, and a surprisingly brisk read given the subject matter.

I always liked Ulf, but when he asked for his drinking buddies to get land grants, that's when, in my opinion, he became king.

Andor was good boss no disrespect

It's SB 1116

mfw we pass clean up legislation

In Florida the mountains are in the sky.

The most cyberpunk fact about reality is that Los Angeles has the best sunsets in the world because of all the smog.

I specifically address at least one of these in the piece. Did you read it?

I don't define YIMBY as, where density exists, but as, where density is being added at scale on soms sort of normalized basis. Otherwise we end up in an absurd situation where SF is tagged as YIMBY. Yes, Guatemala is urbanizing. That's why it's building so much.

Also, not sure when you last visited, or where you visited, but I've been visiting CG two or three times a year for 10 years and the building boom has been kicked into overdrive over the past three or four years.

I'm not questioning Chile and Brazil in the GOATed category, merely noting that on a flows (not stocks) basis Guatemala is a lot more than "Meh" and building far more than anywhere else in Central America.

Nearly everything in this photo of Zone 10 is less than 20 years old.

I haven't been following it but local friends in the know tell me metropolitan commuted rail is inching along. www.gov.uk/government/n...

The cool thing about having massive domestic, internationally competitive (and admittedly quite subsidized) concrete and construction industries is that there's kind of a baked in YIMBY political economy.

I used to take photos of projects (and we would tour them pretending to be interested buyers) but now they're just everywhere. Huge demand from (a) a growing urban middle class and (b) middle-class-plus pulled to the city by stability and pushed into the city by traffic.

We had lunch at the Aeroclub and there were at least seven distinct crane projects, almost certainly all high-rise residential condominiums, within Zone 13 alone.
