@durhamNC requires two offstreet parking spaces per residential dwelling. Can anyone name an urban city with worse standards? #cnu25

In @Seattle_Housing they realized that minimum parking standards were preventing affordable housing. #cnu25 @DurhamCAN @StrongTowns

LARGE MINIMUM LOT SIZES are the way a city signals that it wants only large single-family houses. Rarely is that consistent w policy.#cnu25

If you divide it into smaller projects, our smaller contractors can take on projects of that size. @LeanUrbanism #CNU25

Make sure you have community buy-in for a Pink Zone. Otherwise you're experimenting on distressed neighborhoods. #CNU25 @LeanUrbanism

Instead of a small number of big projects, can we do a big number of small projects? -@LeanUrbanism #CNU25

In your city can an entrepreneur make a sandwich without a $50k cooler? Can they braid hair wo a $10k license? @LeanUrbanism #CNU25 #equity

Is small possible in your city? @LeanUrbanism @IncDevAlliance #CNU25

When these people can't participate in development there is also an economic cost to all of us. @LeanUrbanism #CNU25

Just because an immigrant is doing low skill labor, we shouldn't assume they are unskilled. Lower barriers to entry. @LeanUrbanism #CNU25

"Radical Flatness" in winning #PershingSquare proposal. NUists would prob call it back to basics. Maybe we need to work on our pitch! #CNU25

Asked the public for ratings & comments on #PershingSquare finalists, which was a risk, if the jury picked a different finalist. #CNU25

Downtown LA was way out of jobs/housing balance with 10,000 residents. Now we're at 60,000 headed for 200,000. -Eduardo Santana #CNU25

Center City District's commitment to long term management is key to success of Dilworth Park. #cnu25

New civic space plan for Dilworth Park in Philadelphia eschewed a central monument in favor of usable space. Function over form. #cnu25
