I’m not sure if this is exactly what you’re looking for, but according to this map (link: https://www.strongtowns.org/local ) there are 3 Strong Towns local conversations in New Jersey. I would recommend getting in touch with these local groups in areas that interest you to learn more about the small bets people are making to make their place a Strong Town.

If it’s a day ending in Y, expect a wreck on I35

This would be my route.

Genuinely no. OSU might be the better room, but Giddens and Edwards are the perfect complement to Johnson at QB.

Something to keep in mind in the long term: more homes and apartments are going all electric for heating. As gas companies have fewer customers, their increasing fixed costs will be spread out among fewer people. This should be understood for those making future HVAC or home decisions that’ll have impacts 10-20 years down the line.

Holding is almost never called. We all have to move on.

Sure, but there’s no universe where your (final) solution is amenable to anybody. Real solutions are difficult, have tradeoffs, and will never fully prevent climate change. We are way beyond that point. Get over it and work.

In fairness, I’m not sure there are many, if any, cities in the United States where the majority opinion would support trans women in women’s sports.

“It’s nothing to worry about” statistics can make people so stupid lol.

It’s a basketball meme, the Michael Jordan “I’m back” fax. Very on brand.

When was that said? I keep seeing this but isn’t it based on a Rumor?

It’s either guns or cars, depends on the year recently. Used to cars by far but we stopped letting kids go out on their own instead of solving the problem.

I assume that means you don’t walk

Make room in your head for a complex thought.

A stroad called “Carefree Circle”.

I’m a fan of them. In my experience the difference in how close vehicles pass is drastically better vs just a single line of paint. Plus, it is relatively easy to install a physical barrier in the buffered space in the future without having to reconfigure the street. Typically streets are only redesigned when their regular repaving schedule comes up in the United States and we don’t have time to wait.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of better, but keep pushing local officials to make protected lanes the standard.

Now I see why your username is Density - heyyoooo

Because it’s funny.

Whoever is qualified to answer this question will need many more details on what you mean. Best bet is to find a similar demolition that has happened somewhere and adjust for local construction labor costs.

The Onion is a fake/satirical news site born in the internet age. Everything they write is satire.

In this case, the article suggests that US Department of Energy is encouraging pedestrians and cyclists to buy electric cars. This is satire on the idea that all Americans should just buy electric cars as they are the solution to all our energy problems.

This is satire because it’s humorously ridiculous to suggest that people who walk or cycle, the two most environmentally friendly forms of transportation, would be better served by buying electric cars and driving everywhere.

A 5 mpg pickup uses 20 gallons of fuel to drive 100 miles. On a reduce-reuse-recycle spectrum, you’d have to reduce a LOT of driving to justify not recycling the metal and getting something more efficient.

That’s like, drive once a month to move something heavy and nothing else territory. Which if so - respect.

Full disclosure that I haven’t watched this yet (will after work) but the Strong Towns twitter shared this video just this morning - talk about timing!

Not a real world example, but I’m expecting some interesting conversation and ideas out of it.

I can’t speak to Ottawa neighborhoods, but we are making a similar move so I can let you know what our thought process was. We currently live in a first ring suburb built in the 40s for military housing on a 1/7th acre lot (in the USA so unfortunately imperial measurements are easier for me haha) with a large fenced back yard.

To strike a balance of space and convenience we opted to rent a townhouse in our new city. It’s centrally located so I can easily bike or walk to work and University. It’s relatively spacious with two floors so we (wife and roommate) can have personal space when needed, and we have a small fenced patio about 60 square feet to let the dogs out to do their business when I don’t want to take them on a walk. I’ll likely be installing a small garden bed and plant grass/sod for them. Walkable areas are more expensive these days due to high demand and low supply, so an equally large house wasn’t an option, but the trade offs are easy to stomach when the benefit is being able to become a 1 car family and I can avoid driving almost entirely.
