good traffic.

31 / Scalable development patterns vs. personal lifestyle choices, & a weekend in SLC.

Listen Later

This week, we briefly touch base on three prevailing sentiments, from recent comment sections:

  1. There is a massive difference between a personal lifestyle choice, and a scalable development pattern.
  2. Folks seem to think the only kind of real estate or housing that one can buy is a detached, single-family home on a large lot. Of course, this is not true.
  3. "Not everyone wants to live in a city!" Yes, correct. Just as not everyone wants to live in any specific place. Yet, more people live in cities than anywhere else (>80% of the U.S. population (via Census.gov, UMich)). We need to plan, design, and build accordingly.

    4. We also reflect on a weekend trip spent walking Salt Lake City neighborhoods, and observing positive infrastructure improvements amidst a sprawling metro.

    One note: in this episode, we referenced episode 29, in conjunction with recent comment sections. We meant episode 28. Catch up on that audio here.



    For context:

    On Salt Lake City bike infrastructure improvements (via The Salt Lake Tribune).

    A new SLC bus stop + buffered bike lane, approaching an intersection.

    A protected intersection, in downtown Salt Lake City.

    A UTA train pic (underrated, and greatly enjoyed).
