A line Union Station to Azusa: 18 stops, 67 min scheduled, sometimes apparently does 50 min
Metrolink Union Station to Covina: 4 stops, 44 min
How is Metrolink so slow??

They built a bubble where you could breathe clean air, and almost immediately people started to hotbox it. Amazing

Does "more dwelling units than would be allowed without the adjustment" mean you can now build 2-4 units on all single-family lots in metro Portland?
(Maybe that was already true post HB2001?)

Just click the cancel button and take the discount they offer! I think if you say no they might even give you a second, even lower offer (at least they used to in the "chat with a customer service agent" days)

How would you fit the parking? It's 1 per unit, and it doesn't have to be enclosed or covered
(Maybe you could do surface parking in in the front setback, but idk if you can fit 4-7 spaces in just 20 ft)

They're not expanding it that much

Unincorporated LA County R-1 imposes 35 ft height, front setback 20 ft. SB 1123 allows side/rear setbacks 4 ft. No FAR limits because the underlying zone doesn't have them.
Besides the front setback, this seems really flexible!! Should actually be able to fit 4-7 big townhouses or condos

What could you build on a typical Altadena lot using SB1123?

Would be great if more yeses jump on. Puts less pressure on Wiener to give concessions to the last-minute yes votes

The article is about sales slowing down, not about prices

I knew there was some exception (Heatmap talked about it) but I wasn't sure if it was all oil/gas or just some subset of projects
comment in response to

Yeah, it's surprising that they didn't mention oil/gas drilling or pipelines or export terminals

This was really informative, thanks!! Very cool that Chicago has this program to cut costs and that they're so transparent about it!

Just double checked, the paper only uses data from the Interstate Highway System, and it stops in the early 90s because that's when (according to Wikipedia) the Interstate Highway System was deemed complete
comment in response to
post
I'm guessing most of the Interstate Highway System was built by 1990, so recent data is either nonexistent or too noisy to use?

I think it qualifies, it's in the 2020 Census Concord-Walnut Hill Urban Area (what used to be called "urban clusters")
