OMG Vancouver finally looks at corner stores as one of the improvements to current zoning. It could be a game changer for boring suburban areas of the city!
More info and a SURVEY: https://www.shapeyourcity.ca/corner-stores

Here that remains largely impractical due to our #CarCentricDevelopment-fucked country.
> now moving clerical & support out of big offices in factories to localised business units on the shop floor
I'm not quite sure I get what you mean here.
Local rent-able workspaces?
As for that taxation part, much of that comes down to nonsensical euclidean zoning instead of #MixedUse.

I think part of the reason it becomes "theme parks for rich people" is because they're so rare. It's something that many desire so in essence sadly that also means that rich people get first served. This is the same with any type of limited commodity and a separate argument.
I don't think the solution is to avoid it but rather, implement it in as many places as possible and build towards it becoming the norm and as such eventually become affordable for everyone.
Making housing affordable is a big beast that is difficult so solve and I don't have any answers for you there but it's a separate argument that doesn't have to involve mixed housing being bad. Rather you could have initiatives which there are in Sweden where housing rents are regulated markets, limiting how much it's allowed to charge for them. This would probably be really difficult to implement in the US.

@fifilamoura @oldrawgabbit @SirLich @atatassault @danwentzel @notjustbikes
I disagree. I don't think it can be generalized that it is "crap" but rather it's crap when it's not regulated "properly".
Allowing the ground level of multi-story buildings to be commercial helps everyone, makes shopping close and convenient and allows cozy "third places". Allowing them to take up whole buildings however which include large parking lots is absolutely terrible - which I agree with.
The problem isn't the concept itself, but how it's implemented through bad/good regulation.
I could list more arguments but this video summarizes it better: https://youtu.be/VvdQ381K5xg

@fifilamoura @oldrawgabbit @SirLich @atatassault @danwentzel @notjustbikes
The underlying problem is weird zoning laws preventing mixed development of residential and commercial so there are hardly any population centers worth connecting together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed-use_development

Cleveland RTA reveals its new trains
For the first time in four decades, Greater Cleveland is about to get a new Rapid. While NEOtrans revealed in January what type of new rail car Greater Clevelanders will be riding for the next two to three decades, that news was made official today by the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA). Much more detail about the new rapid transit trains also was provided. #downtown #Cleveland #development #jobs #mixedUse #NEOtrans

But in places like Atlanta, only about 10% of homes can access such wonders.

Thanks to their shorter commutes, by 2008, people in the Portland region were saving about 1.1 billion dollars every year on gasoline.

384 followers · 5833 posts · Server mastodon.top@samreciter @dalias @SecurityWriter Mind, I'm coming at the #Urbanism, #MixedUse & #MissingMiddle argument from a very #Canada-specific point of view, which is most closely related to the USA case.
So what might seem obvious on your end (and already applied widely) mostly just doesn't exist here.

The vast majority of the zoning doesn't allow for building sufficient housing, it's not surprising the market prices are completely batshit.

It's worth remembering that #suburbs do not benefit from #MixedUse development, so they are very much not self-sufficient in any real measure.

The path to a more #sustainable future in #Harrisonburg requires that we put people, not cars, at the center of our priorities. The sooner we embrace #mixeduse, #walkable #bikeable medium #density #housing, the brighter our collective future will be.
