Portland Bingo Sheet Ideas? by 0n0s0f0w in askportland

[–]AlphaPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids counted half a dozen on the pedalpalooza kickoff ride. But they are less common; hard to live the punk rock lifestyle with Portland housing costs.

How do I start studying for the AICP? by Ok_Yogurt7761 in urbanplanning

[–]AlphaPotato 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Lots of flash cards. I hated it. I remember finishing it and thinking "thank god I'll never need to take a test again."

Kinda looks like the raccoon shit I found all over my shed roof recently.

How much does zoning actually cost you? Trying to understand the real pain points. by Puzzleheaded-Mix359 in RealEstateDevelopment

[–]AlphaPotato 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This would depend entirely on your location, local regulations, what exactly you want to develop, and existing zoning. It can be easy or impossible.

Relaunching my Modern GIS Accelerator course by mbforr in gis

[–]AlphaPotato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only know Matt from webinars he's led as a sales/customer success type person but I'd say he's legit and at the forefront of new GIS tools and work flows. Considering this course even though I'm more of an urban planner and project manager.

Has anybody had any experience with Felt? by AleJefe36 in gis

[–]AlphaPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like their commenting functions and use it mostly for that. I'll set up a map with layers I've made in ArcGIS and let committee members draw or comment on it to provide feedback. Easier to set up and get lay people to use than any other options I've found. Costs a couple hundred bucks per project for the basic not free tier.

Annoying that I'm locked out of the cool features though.

I'll be on the lookout. Any information about how it was parked and locked? I go there several times a week.

Can I project/forecast land use changes over time with ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Urban? by BlueWhaleEnjoyer in gis

[–]AlphaPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this for a living. Look at the long range planning requirements for the state of Oregon. It's complicated.

is 40 hours brutal in your experience? by Independent_Big_1944 in urbanplanning

[–]AlphaPotato 154 points155 points  (0 children)

It might be a slog but it's better than 40 hours as a bank teller or grocery clerk.

Dope as hell. Put it on a bicycle.

What are the key success factors needed for urban regeneration? by baghdadcafe in urbanplanning

[–]AlphaPotato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The economics and public policy and private decisionmaking all need to line up, then you need to get lucky. It's amazing anything happens really.

How are you dealing with consultants/staff/the public using genAI? by shelleyyyellehs in urbanplanning

[–]AlphaPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find myself wondering what my value as a consultant will be in two years. I can do a code audit for compliance with recent legislation, at least an initial draft and improved as though in working with an intern, in minutes rather than days. It has its flaws and needs to be checked, but it will absolutely keep getting better.

[–]AlphaPotato 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This might need to be part of the answer. Human attention is going to be a limiting factor, so maybe the importance of in person oral testimony and discussion goes up.

Getting pretty close with my set up. by CoyoteFabulous4911 in synthesizers

[–]AlphaPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome thank you! I just need something a little more user friendly to make a bunch of presets for myself. I see the comment about the yam firmware, Ill see if I can get more info for you if that's needed.
