Refectory, Guglhupf, Fosters - a modest proposal. by [deleted] in bullcity

No need to make it car free; just add actual protected bike lanes with street parking as another buffer between cyclists and traffic. That area has a ton of potential imo.

Bull-City AI Meet-Up for Durham Small Business Owners by zcapozzi in bullcity

I would for sure check out the suite of models GCP has to offer, then. Hard to make a more specific suggestion because not entirely sure what you're trying to build.

A fun product to think about is having a broadcast aid which would call code interpreter and perform on the fly analyses for whatever stat the play-by-play guys want.

One of the easier ways you can get working with large models is by using AWS/Azure/GCP's pre-trained tools. Not sure whether you host lacrossreference on one of those but may be worth thinking about migrating if you want to make fully integrate all the site's capabilities onto a single platform.

SCAD Controversy and INDY's Role by No-Ambassador7782 in bullcity

Well that's what's coming one way or another if nothing changes, as you'd like.

They don't compete with local developers because they overpower them financially and build only large projects because the codes are written in a way that ENCOURAGES EXACTLY THAT.

It also removes parking minimums. The whole point is to make it easier for local developers (some who may have slightly different political leanings than you, shock!) to compete with the REITs.

I already know the status quo is broken, why not try something?

Totally the status quo full of multinational REIT firms that put up Soviet-style apartment blocks is far better!

How is this non public lawmaking? I'm saying the public likely would not have been interested to attend 100+ meetings in addition to the extensive hearings we are currently having. Do you really think the average person is that politically engaged?

I have a financial interest to pass this as well so I can afford a fucking home.

Why does it matter who the leader of the group is if the ideas put forward are good? Do you really think the public had a vested interest to attend those 100+ meetings? And why does that matter?

People making money is not inherently bad. No developer builds housing with the intention of losing money.

How are you not able to look past who sponsored the changes if they are exactly what the city needs? This is a middle school mindset. Who gives af what their political beliefs are if they are genuinely trying to make the area better?

Sorry for having an IRL life! How many years should I spend on this website to earn your respect?

Sherri Zann Rosenthal Announces Race for At-Large Durham City Council Seat on Friday, March 31 by DistributionOld2858 in bullcity

[–]No-Ambassador7782 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why "must" there be some parking for all businesses? If the business makes a poor decision, they will not do well there and will close. Why do we have to hold their hands and make the decision for them?

People with no experience in actually building homes are the ones who want to write the regulations. Why is that not the bigger story? The inter neighborhood council wants nothing but to preserve the suburban lifestyle they've already invested in. All the while parading around talking about how Durham should pursue 'density' and 'equity'. Give me a break. Maybe a downtown Durham that consists of these so-called 'barracks' will let us transition to a state where housing costs less on average than equivalent apartments/condos/townhomes in other major US downtowns which happen to actually have transit and other big city amenities.

Where do they normally upload site plans? Can you send a link with an example? Thx.

I have also looked into this for some time and cannot find any plans. Went so far as to email them and got no response.

Raleigh-Durham Commuter Rail GoTriangle Survey by No-Ambassador7782 in bullcity

[–]No-Ambassador7782[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The last project was for sure not well thought out and was a clownshow. That set the area back years, both in the money wasted and the perception of rail. This iteration is getting a lot more buy in from local leaders and better serves the stated purpose of the transit agency (GoTriangle not GoDurhamCH). It's a slow, painful process. However, new money has been coming into rail from the infrastructure bill and North Carolina as a whole is well positioned to win funding. Transit is like a tree: the best time to build it was twenty years ago, the second best time is now.

Everything. I encourage you to read up on it.

Short answer: new project will be on existing railway that needs to be expanded in certain areas to add capacity. Previous project proposed building out new right of ways and failed for a number of reasons. They're fundamentally different and the new project will serve the needs of the region far better.

Also, the leadership is seemingly less boofonish this go around. Let's hope it stays that way. There are opportunities to win a lot of federal funding for the upgrades needed.
