    Nari a random rectangle!

    That aluminum corner block on the ground floor window is unfortunate.

    A ton more residents in that wasteland pocket of east Beltline will be great for the feel of the area too.

    Whether the design is liked or not, this is certainly going to fill in a big chunk of land in an area in desperate need of filling.

    You guys might be top posters by quantity, but I'm top poster by quality.

    53 illegal left turns in the 24 hour period is the surprise number.

    There needs to be study first of where pedestrians are even going through the intersection, along with are pedestrian counts reduced by the nature of the intersection or are they just redirected to 11th St. Honestly anecdotally I don't see noticeable numbers. There's little reason to go south...

    These intersections aren't destinations, nor are they stopover points. For certain sit down food/beverage establishments aren't ever going to survive here, when the competition is fierce on better frontage more to the heart of the adjacent area. It's also at the end of the main zone. You're not...

    Look up.

    What if people got a walk light at the intersection? They could cross the road to get to the river?

    Unfortunately you can't legislate taste. Believe me, I've tried.

    I'm sure there is a non zero number that don't, and I'd guess there's no enforcement. Compliant on all projects with my involvement so no experience from the other side.

    Developers are required to plant trees as a condition of their DP.

    Infill Development Discussion

    In this instance you're right, but it's just an example added along with their overall point. The case is generally even worse. The real concern is the degradation of the private tree canopy these max lot coverage developments are incurring. A large majority of lots in the inner neighbourhoods...

    For the one that's too close they're talking about the tree that's planted directly inline with the edge of the cantilever above. Some pretty low IQ was involved in that situation.

    I'm hoping for some high quality charcoal leather with nice laces. Hopefully the eyelets and midsole are also quality.

    Infill Development Discussion

    Here's another double lot one in Capital Hill. Visibly 4 + 4 in the front. Probably 4 + 4 in the back too for 16 total units.

    Infill Development Discussion

    No sure how many units this is but looks like at least 12 + suites. Two lots here so not your exact scenario of 8 on one mind you. There's a few more I've seen going up in Mount Pleasant when driving through but they haven't made satellite yet.

    I'm gonna need to take the keys to your liquor cabinet.
