open.substack.com/pub/jeremyl/ “the cities focused on simplicity, using one or two main tools to guide building height and shape and foregoing everything else. None of the cities limit density within the buildings they allow, which makes building homes of all sizes much easier” #zoning #housing #design

Light pollution often results from poorly designed and operated outdoor #lighting, but lessons from urban #planning suggest a solution. Read more about how Lighting Zones leverage land-use planning principles for a smarter approach to lighting the nighttime environment appropriately.

Map titled “Division 10-90.40.020: Lighting Zone Map” showing the City of Flagstaff boundary outlined in red, with parcels overlaid and areas shaded by lighting zones: dark brown for Lighting Zone 1 concentrated mainly in the southwest, and light yellow for Lighting Zone 2 covering most of the city. Major highways and roads are labeled, and a legend, scale bar, and north arrow appear on the right.Nighttime street scene with colorful gabled houses lining a narrow canal, streetlights reflecting on the water, small trees along the walkway, and a modern building in the distance under a dark sky.

Realizing I should probably add a slide about Population Bomb to my standard zoning history talk. It is around this time that downzoning as a tool for population control becomes standard practice in the United States. I’m not familiar with a source arguing for it explicitly yet but also I haven’t read Population Bomb. It may be right there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Popu #zoning #MoralPanic #hunger #shortage #USHistory #inflation #SierraClub

Land shapes housing before design.

In cities like NYC and Tokyo, high land costs and zoning limits push apartments smaller.

Micro-apartments aren’t a trend, they’re a pressure response.

When zoning loosens, supply adapts; when land stays scarce, density is the only option.

So are micro-apartments the problem, or a signal of land policy at work?

✨New Post✨ It's time to legalize the village. We can’t afford to subsidize low-density, exclusionary sprawl anymore. It’s time to choose municipal sustainability over outdated zoning. 🏘️📉📈 #Ottawa #Zoning #StrongTowns

“These sounds fall squarely in the range where human hearing is most sensitive. They are brief, irregular, and impossible to tune out. Physiologically, they trigger the body's fight-or-flight response. Over time, fatigue, irritability, and disrupted sleep can lead to health impacts. Factoring in laughter, chatter, and day-long play, one can start to understand why nearby homeowners might take exception.”
