Matt pointing out that there are no big land use changes on the table in the BVCP update. He can be such a downer sometimes. in reply to ZaneSelvans 19:30:24, 2017-01-20
.@sampweaver points out that the BVCP land use map changes are the real change — the zoning makes the housing happen. Or not. Usually not. in reply to ZaneSelvans 19:28:38, 2017-01-20
Only ordinance in the pipeline as of now is the update to inclusionary housing ordinance, which is likely mostly funding/policy, not zoning. in reply to ZaneSelvans 19:26:57, 2017-01-20

Changing the comp plan policies is easy. Passing ordinances that change the housing landscape is hard, but real. in reply to ZaneSelvans 19:23:14, 2017-01-20

.@LisaMorzel suggesting #BoulderCouncil should have oversight of disbursement of affordable housing grants, rather than division of housing. in reply to ZaneSelvans 19:14:12, 2017-01-20
With current double digit annual housing cost increases, that's 20% higher housing costs before we've done anything. Just saying. in reply to ZaneSelvans 19:11:54, 2017-01-20
So implementation of housing policy changes would be in place by… the end of 2018. At the earliest? in reply to ZaneSelvans 19:09:48, 2017-01-20

BVCP survey an interesting example. Two rounds of questions, similar topics, different framing, somewhat different results. in reply to ZaneSelvans 17:57:11, 2017-01-20

@cmgosnell @drgrist I'd love to come down and see you in the flesh. What's the topic and venue? in reply to cmgosnell 19:59:13, 2015-01-23
Takeaways: do small scale development, even when it's intensive. Be willing to prioritize people over cars! 13:04:47, 2015-01-23
Too many one way streets downtown. Bad for everyone but the cars. 13:03:53, 2015-01-23
Still have some bad "towers in a park….ing lot" Pedestrian killing dead zones where they meet the streets. 13:03:29, 2015-01-23
Failure to protect hilltops, wasted waterfronts storing cars and industrial uses right by downtown. 13:01:26, 2015-01-23
What's not so great? Portland's urban freeways. Huge cultural walls in the city. Sound and visual and air pollution. Blighted corridors. 13:00:35, 2015-01-23
Also, Portlandia = Cartlandia. MOAR FOOD CARTS. Great for low overhead foodie entrepreneurs! 12:57:30, 2015-01-23
Modern mixed use developments on small lots result in fine grained, not monolithic building construction. Feels much more homey than Solana. 12:52:54, 2015-01-23
Compatible multi family housing, often fills small lots, but doesn't go high, even though legally they could. 12 units on 5000sf, 30ft tall. 12:50:19, 2015-01-23
Single family zones also allow duplexes on corner lots, with one entrance per street frontage. Still looks & feels single family. 12:47:49, 2015-01-23
Some Portland residential zones have minimum lot sizes as small as 2500sf. Basically any home can build an ADU, with no permitting fees. 12:46:30, 2015-01-23
These kinds of properties create density, walkability, but still feel like neighborhoods. 12:43:30, 2015-01-23
Lots of small houses on small lots. Small setbacks, very affordable. E.g. a 900sf house on a 3000sf lot. Both new and old homes too. 12:41:56, 2015-01-23
Tight tuning radii at corners, bike traffic signals, bike signal timing, great citizen cycling culture. Much less spandex and carbon fiber. 12:39:41, 2015-01-23
Overall, generally people are often prioritized over cars in terms of infrastructure on the ground. 12:35:57, 2015-01-23
Fabric of #portland built I'm 1st half of 20th century, vs. Post war in Boulder. Very different, small vs. large blocks. 12:34:41, 2015-01-23
Storm swales that do neck downs at the intersections. Tillicum Crossing: a bridge for everyone but cars. 1000s of speed humps on bike routes 12:33:05, 2015-01-23
Kurt Nordback on Portland: lots of slow "yield streets" that are two way, but only wide enough for one car. 12:30:00, 2015-01-23

@meltzere @DaveKrieger Is the @dailycamera interested in doing any coverage of @RideRTD’s proposed Bus (not so) Rapid Transit service plan? 19:59:34, 2015-01-12
US36 seems to be the only FasTracks corridor that @RideRTD is unwilling to deploy additional operating resources in. Why? 19:53:22, 2015-01-12
Certainly for peak hours BRT service with full buses, headways should be short enough you don’t have to think about a schedule. Please? 19:28:45, 2015-01-12
Seems unlikely that #Boulder will be satisfied w/ re-distribution of existing service hrs. What we want is MOAR BETTER service. 19:16:25, 2015-01-12

@ericmbudd It could be there for a while. But seriously, this came out of the TMP “Action Items” prioritization thing, aimed at 2015. in reply to ericmbudd 11:07:45, 2015-01-02
@kelseykccody @ericmbudd It’s a feedback loop. Less oil/car dependent economy makes high gas prices less important, easier to lock in. in reply to kelseykccody 10:59:33, 2015-01-02
@kelseykccody @ericmbudd But w/o gas price spike, we wouldn’t have even the CAFE opportunity. 1970s Europe response was very different. in reply to kelseykccody 10:56:08, 2015-01-02
