#density — Public Fediverse posts

oh wow that's quite the difference :O

The virtuous cycle: #Transit is in trouble because its funding is so tenuous. At the same time, we depend on transit to create better urban places. It’s time to rethink transit funding by linking it to #density. How? Dedicate a portion of the rising land values that density makes possible to fund the source of its value. https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/article/transit-housing-money-california-22353483.php

A key to making #housing more affordable is greater #density … squeezing more housing into existing neighborhoods. But something stands in the way: local #zoning codes that forbid all but single family houses. The MA legislature considers simply outlawing this form of zoning everywhere in the state. https://commonwealthbeacon.org/housing/in-the-face-of-state-housing-shortage-could-single-family-zoning-be-on-the-chopping-block/

“Like eight Super Bowls”: Why do cities need #transit? Because they can’t have #density … which builds connections and lively places … without it. They also can’t have huge events like the World Cup and all the watch parties that accompanied it if everyone has to drive. In Atlanta, MARTA made the World Cup possible. https://www.ajc.com/news/2026/06/like-eight-super-bowls-world-cup-events-have-doubled-marta-ridership/ #mobility

#MissKittyArt completely understands another reason that #digital #art has not taken off yet. It hasn't, but t'll be like cable television. But you have to have the hardware to make it come to life. #Pixel #density. That's what you don't have. And the #technology side is brutal. It's a mess.

Geospatial Analysis of Urban Population Model Discrepancies Through Land Use and the Built Environment - A Case Study of Croatia

“Using official Croatian census data as a reference, [the researchers] analysed three global population datasets across seven Croatian cities to investigate how population allocation differs between built-up and non-built-up areas.
Although the datasets often produced similar population totals, their spatial allocation differed substantially. GHS-POP concentrated over 1 million more inhabitants within built-up areas, while WorldPop allocated approximately 290,000 more inhabitants to non-built-up land-cover classes, demonstrating how similar population totals can mask substantial differences in spatial population patterns.
The question is not only how many people are estimated, but also where the model places them…”

A resident of an Atlanta suburb makes the case for #density, #transit and #walkability. These things would help with #affordability, he writes in a newspaper op-ed. They would also benefit children and the elderly … and generally make Sandy Springs a nicer place. The op-ed is a good first step. Next: Form an #advocacy group around these things. https://www.ajc.com/opinion/2026/05/sandy-springs-has-a-choice-will-the-city-be-designed-around-kids-or-cars/

Osipova & Lin also evaluate variation in #paleobiodiversity between depositional #environments of the Szekou Formation. Species #richness and #density do not differ significantly between restricted and open #lagoon settings, contrasting with patterns reported for benthic #bivalves

Complex problems do not yield to simple solutions. They yield when many things work together in collaborative ways. So what would it take to make cities more affordable? More #housing with greater #density. An end to #parking mandates. More #transit and other forms of #mobility. And something else: “curb management.” https://www.governing.com/urban/parking-reform-is-reshaping-housing-policy #affordability

Why is data so persuasive? Because, done right, data comes across as both neutral and realistic. Either the numbers add up, or they don’t. A pro-housing advocate explains how he used a sophisticated set of numbers to argue for greater #density in a D.C. suburb … and win a favorable vote. This could work for other #advocacy groups. https://ggwash.org/view/103114/how-i-used-friendly-neighborhood-data-science-to-advocate-for-housing-in-arlington

Revenge of the #NIMBYs: A Denver suburb held a referendum on its city council’s decision to create greater #density in neighborhoods. By a 2-to-1 margin voters reversed the council decision, as NIMBYs turned out and others did not. Urbanists: You need to do a better job of explaining how such changes can benefit everyone. https://denverite.com/2026/04/07/lakewood-special-election-results/

Public Submission to City Cler...

Behold this immutable fact of city-building. We've always built the most expensive way possible. Previous council took real, bold steps to fix this. New council debating repeal. In it's place, what? Anything? Another panel? Another study? #Housing #Rezoning #yyc #yyccc #Sprawl #UrbanSprawl #Density

How can we help people accept a little more #density in their #neighborhoods? Alas, it won’t come by stating facts or appealing to fairness. What’s needed is proof that density builds better neighborhoods. So find places that benefit from having fourplexes alongside single-family houses. Photograph, write about and take others to see these places. THIS is how you build a movement. https://www.spur.org/news/2026-03-03/can-fourplexes-solve-san-joses-housing-affordability-crisis
