Může za to územní plán, koeficient zeleně a parkování zadarmo.

NIMBY JE O PENĚZÍCH. Když obec umožní stavět byty nebo je sama staví, má dostat svůj podíl na daních. Zde je zásadní návrh Pirátské strany na podporu bytové výstavby🖤👇: Problém je jednoduchý. Postavíte byt za 8 milionů korun, stát na DPH vybere milion. Obec nedostane ani korunu. Musí ale zajistit..

TIL that Mohamed Atta was a professional urban planner, of the preservationist nimby persuasion, and that his graduate school thesis was about how high-rises ruin neighborhood character 😳.

Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta that reads, “ At the Hamburg University of Technology, Atta studied under the guidance of the department chair, Dittmar Machule, who specialized in the Middle East. 19] Atta was averse to modern development. This included the construction of high-rise buildings in Cairo and other ancient cities in the region. He believed that the drab and impersonal apartment blocks, built in the 60s and 70s, ruined the beauty of old neighborhoods and robbed their people of privacy and dignity.”Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta, with a highlighted sentence that reads “He criticized how the newfangled skyscrapers and other modernizing projects disrupted the fabric of communities.”

Analýza: Sliby kandidátů ohledně parkování znějí skvěle, často ale nedávají smysl. Problém s parkováním v Praze totiž nemá jedno kouzelné, jednoduché a levné řešení. Přesto existuje. Popisujeme čtyři kroky, které by Praze a jejím občanům skutečně mohly pomoct.

Populistické výkřiky parkování v Praze nevyřeší. Čtyři kroky ale mohou situaci skutečně zlepšit

Praha má na účtech miliardy. Přesto se žádná z hlavních stran před říjnovými volbami nechystá do větších investic, které by mohly zlepšit život ve městě. 🏙️ Chybí politikům nápady, nebo sporu o to, kam má Praha směřovat? 💬 Komentář Jakuba Jetmara na Voxpotu. www.voxpot.cz/clanky/zdroj...

Zdroje v Praze jsou. Proč se je ustrašení politici bojí utratit?

Účet města Prahy přetéká miliardami, ale žádná ze stran kandidujících do říjnových voleb se je nechystá utratit. Proč politici nechtějí zlepšovat životy Pražanů? Chybí jim nápady, nebo se bojí jít do…

Nad Prahou se vznáší naštvání. Lidem vadí drahé bydlení, nedostupné školky, sálají z nich vzpomínky na rekordní horka. Politická energie se ale přelévá maximálně facebookovými partami a aktivistickými instagramy, aniž by si ji kdokoli dokázal převzít – a vést. Pro @voxpot.bsky.social👇

at least as of early 2026, there was a Pizza Hut closer to the Great Pyramid of Giza in Memphis, Egypt than the closest Pizza Hut was to the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid in Memphis, Tennesee

While this column is kind of all over the place, “upzone so developers will build a lot of new housing and landlords will be forced to compete for tenants on price” is exactly what YIMBYism hopes to accomplish.

Most recently, a Council member
introduced legislation to upzone a large majority of his district, meaning that the density would be increased considerably. And since he flew the flag of affordable housing and it was, after all, his district, the bill passed, despite many of his constituents being against it.
One of the five at-large Council members walked the streets of downtown Nashville touting how the Council had recently passed legislation upzoning hundreds of square miles.
When pressed as to how developers could afford to build affordable housing, a former city official said that the developers would not be able to build affordable housing due to the cost of the infrastructure. When pressed, a sitting Council member who voted in favor of the upzoning admitted that the city would not be able to cover the expense of the infrastructure.
So, in fact, the bill did nothing to improve affordability.
Now, to the current situation. New apartment buildings have shaken the rental market, as the city has overbuilt. Many of the new buildings are offering as much as three months free rent in an effort to lure new tenants.
Investors who own older buildings are forced to lower rents and eat three months or more rent in order to rent their properties, and rental rates have fallen. If they have mortgages, they are in trouble.
Coupled with the highest rates since 2001, there is no reason for a person to buy a home when free rent is an option.

Three great reported essays on the inter generational conflict over housing and active transportation, particularly in Northern California: First, a Berkeley-raised writer’s exploration of his parents’ generation’s complicated feelings about the proposed apartments and the Hopkins bike lane:

A Tale of Paradise, Parking Lots and My Mother’s Berkeley Backyard (Gift Article)

Plans to build apartments have sparked a fight between progressive newcomers and nostalgic old-timers — with surprising allegiances in a writer’s hometown.

Další hloubené metro pro pole a sklady. Dvě třetiny stávajících stanic už teď obsluhují hlavně louky, lesy a hřbitovy. Než se to vyřeší, rozhodně další podobně dojebané stanice nestavět.

We're overhauling 116th Street to make your bus faster: 2.5 miles of new bus lanes. Queue jumps that give buses a green light before other vehicles at intersections. Protected bike lanes. 35,000 square feet of new pedestrian space.

Digital rendering of the redesigned 116th Street corridor.

I think I am coming to adopt @notalawyer.bsky.social's snobbery. Cosmopolitan urbanite sensibilities are in fact just Better and I am tired of pretending otherwise. The people who think otherwise are simply ignorant and hateful, and it is mainly cowardice that prevents people from saying this.

🌑☀️Does anti-system thinking correlate with disregarding official advice? Those who'd rather see our 'political and social institutions burn' than 'preserve and improve them' were more likely to look at the sun directly during the eclipse.

Brits tend to share Burnham’s view that vape shops and betting shops are top signs of high street decline. Interesting Barber shops are now high on “getting worse too” Meanwhile more hanging baskets and bakeries top the list for signs a high street is getting better.

How to maximise apartments on a tiny 111 square meter site in Santiago, Chile? Two apartments either side of a central stair and lift. Kitchens are long and thin, with a small void (in yellow) allowing heat to escape. Homes can be cross ventilated - a short thread 🧵

Přehrada v řece Colorado už skoro vyschla. Proč? Důvodem je naprosto neuvěřitelný způsob, jak se tam nakládá s vodou. Jak by vypadalo funkční řešení? Nejspíš ve smyslu: - sledují se srážky a průtoky - sledují se odběry - na základě skutečného stavu se přidělují objemy nebo podíly z průtoků Takový

damn she really did get absolutely eviscerated by this interviewer in a way its impossible imagining anyone in the US press besides maybe chotiner doing. every time she lies she gets called on it!

Yeah, and there's a reason I keep linking to this interview, by @claushecking.bsky.social, who makes Chotiner look like an amateur. Furchtgott-Roth lies half the time and makes errors the other half, because she doesn't know anything in her portfolio and Hecking does. www.spiegel.de/internationa...
