182 followers · 1097 posts · Server citydweller.socialI gave up on the illusion that in the #US #cityplanning could improve.
They want their endless single family home #urbansprawl far away from the center and they WANT no-sidewalk areas, and they do not want proper transit to there, and they also want that zoning and the answer is always ("otherwise it brings CRIME and my house loses worth").
They go on vacation to Europe and they ask themselves why they liked it so much but at home they downvote everything which would move in that direction.

I want my 8F of coolness back! That would make all the difference right now.

Still trying to decide whether this one is going to make the final cut into the project.

At 174th Street in west Omaha, an old red brick two lane highway emerges from between two glitzy looking car dealerships like a ghost. It ends unceremoniously at an intersection, cut off by new development and the Dodge freeway.
This old bit of road is a remnant of the Lincoln Highway, one of (if not the first) transcontinental highways in the US.

#OmahaSprawl series. Sidney Buchanan’s sculpture “Tree House with French Doors” looms over new developments in west Omaha. I believe this sculpture used to sit in the Gene Leahy Mall in downtown Omaha before being moved west. February 26, 2023.

"Spring and Summer are coming, and with it, harsh sun to bake shade-less streets and homes. And new laws which promise to wash that American Dream away with the spring rains."

Trying this out out for possible inclusion in the #OmahaSprawl project. Not sure if it's going to make the cut yet. This project is really tough for me to choose images for. One thing that continues to surprise me is just how close these developments abut major power line corridors. January 16, 2023.
