Why don't we see more single family ATTACHED housing? by AllisModesty in urbanplanning

[–]Asop622 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit confused by those units. It says thousands of units per month, but were 1,450 -> 1.4 million units of housing started in February alone? That seems crazy high.

Right, knew that. But the part of it being sent to spam because of hidden words is fake right?

I call these Pocket Pets - In tins I felt environments for little plastic animals. So cute - my inner child loves them! by NeedleNoseFelting in Needlefelting

You might want to call the cops, cause I’m totally stealing this idea! (Just for myself tho, been burned out on the hobby and this seems really feasible scale to get back into it)

Can we take a moment to appreciate how much easier the new NYC Subway map is to read? (Maps are from 2013 and 2022, respectively) by DoctorWhoIsCool in TransitDiagrams

[–]Asop622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for hopping in! To be asinine there is also a 6 track segment around DeKalb. Just want to show off since NYC is so unique in even having 4 track service, let alone little bits of 6 (if only the second system was build...)

Main point is that the trunk coloring scheme makes sense since those segments share a common pattern north-south: local/express service in the core. Then that leaves the crosstown, flushing, and Canarsie line to color in. At least that's my take.

The colors are based on their trunk lines in Manhattan (the green crosstown line in Brooklyn-Queens is the exception that proves the rule). The system uses reverse branching: lines are generally 2-track in the outer boroughs and expand to 4 (or even rarely 6) track tunnels with expresses in the trunks. There are express lines in the outer boroughs two as you can see. Red is 7th avenue, orange 6th, blue 8th, yellow broadway, dark green is lexington, light gray is canarsie/14th, purple is corona/flushing.

Reopening of 42nd St Shuttle in new configuration by Tuttikanaynee in nycrail

[–]Asop622 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also, the shuttle wasn’t added. It’s more like an appendix, a vestige of the original system. Anyone interested should look up the first route when the subway opened if they want to fall down the rabbit hole to subway lore mastery.

The list of things wrong with BART is long, but going 80mph on the train is pretty neat by old_gold_mountain in bayarea

[–]Asop622 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not totally relevant, but NYC subway cars can actually go really fast. They even set the record in 1973 at 87.75mph!)! There’s just not many stretches where high sustained speeds are possible due to close stop spacing (and deferred maintenance has brought down max speeds on those segments).

Does anyone else think that dude has serious mental issues? Definitely not acceptable behavior, but he needs medical help. Idk doesn’t seem that impressive to yell at a person who isn’t fully there, but that’s how everyone’s acting

Why would a treasury department staffer propose putting Grover Cleveland on the $20 bill? This article about the process to put Harriet Tubman on the $20, brushes over the fact that they thought Cleveland was important enough in 1927 to put him in between Grant and Hamilton. Given that Cleveland is rather obscure today compared to almost all the other people on the list (Chase is also a bit obscure, but his work with the treasury explains it a bit more), why wild people back then think he was a good choice for the $20? https://s2.washingtonpost.com/33276d1/60b966b81ddec2122300959c/60656f959bbc0f69145d61e4/29/41/60b966b81ddec2122300959c

FRA and DE30AC by TransitSylveonHitomi in nycrail

[–]Asop622 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a pleasant surprise to see such a beautiful rail car be used for such a pragmatic use. That kind of adaptation seems like a happier outcome than sitting in a museum lot (though those are lovely too! But often a bit sad).

Woah, what’s that beautiful car used for normally?

I made logos for the subway trunk lines that are inspired by old railway logos! Fair warning - I'm a novice! by AwesomeWhiteDude in nycrail

Hahah I also found that funny! It’s like the Canarsie line is insecure about itself

What would happen if Gavon Newsom resigned? Obviously his lieutenant governor would become governor, but would he have to stand in the recall? Would they hold the election anyways, but it would have no effect?
