Because of the danger.

Housing crisis triggers a market crash or a financial crisis, it could send shockwaves through the stock markets worldwide. I’m worried about my investment of over $600K stocks. Is this a time to consider diversifying my portfolios?

Those apartments are great. Places overseas can be incredibly small.

Corporations rule the western world back by government guns. They took God out of the equation, tore down the nations history, established a consolidated stranglehand on their power and all the people are left with is mud water in their concentration camp.

How to reinvent the wheel... ahh video

Clearly the community of that neighborhood died a long time ago. Just like America. They died the same way and for the same reasons. Now all thats left are some people humping a corpse. Corporations back by government guns literally killed off everything sacred and true. If there is anything that actually remains its a mere handful of fading memories left within a few.

Capitalism isnt a sustainable system.

TBH I watched whole video with one thought in my mind, "this kinda looks like most neighborhoods in EU at least or at least in Poland. Single staircase, with minimal corridor, make apartments wral up qnd take the mac amount of space of the floorplan

i live in tucson, its pretty so-so when it comes to modern zoning reforms, all weve really done on a city wide level is allow for ADUs. we have a lot of missing middle neighborhoods though, but often when new infill development is built there, its chunkier and less dense than the stuff that is already there.

We are too fat for stairs

Another question is why drive your child to/from school when a school bus will do it _for_ you? A related question is why drive your child to/from the school bus _stop_ when they're perfectly capable of walking the short block or two _themselves_ ? I see traffic jams at schools and neighborhood school bus stops all over suburban Virginia. Why??? When did this become a thing???

I don't understand why anyone would want to live in an apartment... But I don't understand why you want to live in a city either.

In Texas, I’ve only lived in two-story apartments. There are plenty of them. I prefer an end unit on the second floor. But I just had a detached house built in a suburb and I love it.

I prefer Southern False Creek. Such as the Leg-In-Boot area and Granville Island area to the old Expo lands, to the Expo Line.

5:50 for me working in EMS, that maze of staircases looks like a nightmare to me. To be honest: I love new approaches, but it has to stay simple and functional for scenarios like moving in and out with large and heavy stuff, or being able to get patients down from upper floors easily

There is a problem with the assumptions and equating the housing market and wealthy and/or foreign ownership in NYC with a city like Austin. Manhattan apartments and ownership or rental by the wealthy is a market where they are very much looking at the 1 to 3 bedroom condos and coops - NOT individual housing. The ability to have a safe and secure home with little to no upkeep because it is in a doorman/elevator building is highly sought after. Many of the conversions out of 421a to luxury market buildings (even if term is overused) become buildings that are often no longer occupied by full time residents as they were previously. Pied-a-terres are extremely common in Manhattan.

The no single staircase buildings is a fire safety feature. This is based on fires in the building, which is very important.

Here in Denmark the public hearings are always written (online or mail) and the cityplanners will comment on the responses before presenting the final results for the council. You will have 4-8 weeks depending on the size of the project to submit a written comment. It's not acting as a poll for people supporting or against the project, but as a way to speak up about things that was forgotten or overseen in the planning face. For bigger developments of new parts of a city, there will also be a public hearing with and without attendance and sometimes also a workshop, for people to give their inputs for what they wish for in this new part of the city.

investors and pension funds draw the money from scarcity

The problem is not about a capitalist or not capitalist solution (government or private owned). Not only because non market housing is not non capitalist ... But because whatever the type of housing the only question is how much housing is being built. On the long run that's the only thing that matters: building enough. Then you just create the fiscal, financial and regulatory framework that increases the supply of housing (with as good quality as possible). There's market capitalist solutions, capitalist solutions, non capitalist market solutions, capitalist non market solutions... But those that work are those that enable enough supply

Don't have a job = can't afford housing. Have a job = can't afford housing. So why have a job?

I wish you had gone more into why these rules exist

Slay

All this share gathering place in residential building are good idea. On paper. If you live in such building, after certain time it's just point of disturbance.

Homes have always been "unaffordable" to single people. So if you do not want to get married, then plan on working two jobs to keep a roof over your head, reducing your expectations, or getting a roommate. It's good to have choices in the market place. Upward and downward socio-economic mobility is a the hallmark of a free country and society.

North America? You mean Canada? lol

Japan didn't build out of fireproof materials until after ww2 because of earthquakes. Earthquakes are why we build out of wood on the west coast, actual earthquake proof buildings are way way way too expensive to be made out of brick

There is no "housing crisis", it's a crisis of unchecked and unneeded immigration driving up demand.

I guess you have not been to Athens ... ugliest apartment blocks in the world

Love the idea of packing people into cramped living spaces while there is millions of acres of undeveloped land. The amount of people we could fit between LA and Baker California is insane. We don’t need sardine cans. Humans aren’t meant to live like that. This is purely real estate profit driven garbage.

I hate car dependancy so much. As someome who cant deal with the bus as it is over stimulating and forced to drive everywhere i just wish we had trains in trams and it makes me depressed that it isnt going to happen in my lifetime

Run for office if you don’t like how it’s being done

11:00 they're already to far in the sunk cost fallacy to have any effect

So interesting thanks 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Jan 22 2025 Wednesday 7🎉:34pm🎉🎉🎉

IMO, entities like corporations should not be allowed to own any property earmarked as residential. That and impose a progressive sales tax on any property a person owns beyond the first.

The apartment buildings are only nice in the city centre. Outside that, they are as ugly, or uglier than American ones

Not sure how much of an issue this would be in the North American suburbs, but an issue my city in the UK is facing as we try to increase our biking infrastructure is that a significant percent (based on my anecdotal observations, over 80%) of our current bike traffic is delivery drivers on ebikes. A lot of these folks will ride their ebikes like they’re mopeds, zooming along at pretty high speeds. I don’t necessarily blame the delivery drivers themselves as the apps incentivize them to go as fast as physically possible. But it does cause some issues for biking infrastructure as they often move much faster than pedal bikes (and bike lanes often aren’t wide enough for safe passing) and they can’t navigate unrestricted intersections with pedestrians as safely as pedal bikes. I support more biking infrastructure and am glad the city’s putting it in, but I think we may run into some problems if biking infrastructure designed for pedal bikes becomes dominated by ebikes going at max speed. I do think this is something we should be keeping in eye on and be factoring in when we design our biking infrastructure

From what i've seen, anti-single-stair people are like carbrains/cagers. They see a restriction in the system and instead of making that restriction less deadly or relied upon, they choose to brute force it by using more of it instead of addressing the root issues.

I always come back to that tweet of a McDonald's converted into a mid rise. One commenter asked sarcastically how many of the units are affordable. Another replied by asking rhetorically how many units could a McDonald's offer at all. I think Urbanity made a good analogy with laptops. Every year tech companies announce they are releasing new line of products at astronomical price. While it's true that the new lines are unaffordable, it usually means the older lines they still manufacture is now going to cost less.

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

We still remember the chicago & sf fires.

This is terrible. We don’t need more ways to make high density, short apartments. High rises, I guess? America is full of apartment complexes with 2 and 3 bedrooms and these 3 and 4 story horrible townhomes that become worthless once any injury or slight physical age limiting mobility. Then you complain about affordability and suggest these should be made of brick and stone which would be much more expensive.

Shared spaces in apt buildings are a double edged sword. For once, in most cities people are not so keen on spending much time with their neighbors (save few exceptions) so the space could end up mostly wasted. Second, and more importantly, it could open up the place to be misused by inconsiderate neighbors. Speaking from experience here since we don't have this rule in my country. Back in the day you used to get larger shared areas but that doesn't happen anymore because square footage is so expensive developers prefer to use it for units not hallways.

Who wants to live in tiny European flats in the USA. I love America's architecture bldgs.

This was awesome Uytae!

I plan to build new housing so im so invested in this conversation.

I missed that aspect of multi use buildings…. But that was in Germany. I lived in an house multi use buildings that had a rotisserie chicken place first floor and back of the kitchen access was in the apartment hallways and I used to trick the store owners as a kid that my mom didn’t feed me because she was working multiple jobs in the 80s and I would get a place of food. Anyways, I also had two movie theaters across and adjacent to us and I could just people watch as a kid from the window and of course there was other business around also an underground punk rock bar place where you could play fussball table for free. I just didn’t know the special place I was in when I was in Germany when I was a kid, it also got me in trouble when I was a child! I would explore the whole town sometimes into the evening. School bus? What’s that! We walked to school and had to cross the road everyday to and from school which was only a few blocks away. Years later in America, I was living in Kentucky in some townhouse that was next to some trailer parks and nothing but fields of grass into the distance! No sidewalks, no business, no candy store! I started becoming depressed! What do you do when you are bored in that type of place…. Play videos games all day stuck in the house. 15 minute cities that are common in Europe don’t inhibit your freedom like they fear mongering folks cry about!

In many places, people who can afford high rents are moving into both new and old housing stock-so they're not alleviating pressure on old housing .they're taking those as well.
