I made this as a joke but the more I look at it -- this might make for a decent single issue as an art project, to make a statement about the development issues (equity, sustainability, ethical land-use, reduction of car dependency) that often get glossed over in mainstream news.

Great to see @PeterCalthorpe further expanding how to retrofit suburbia with much needed housing on commercial strip corridors.
commonedge.org
Through a state-mandated use of form-based codes and a focus on “grand boulevards” of underutilized commercial strips, the number of potential units expands by orders of magnitude.

New French law requires solar panels over large parking lots! Not my first preference for how to retrofit them - or address climate change - but impressive GWs.

Monte and Bernice see their real estate investments in their neighborhoods akin to farming. They revive abandoned buildings, plant seeds for local small business, and they want to teach you how to incrementally grow your neighborhood.
