Could just be more earners per household in Cbus. The population is a bit younger on average than Cincy and especially CLE and Akron. So more two earner households?

For the city 2020 ACS 5-Year data places the median age at 36.3. For 2010 it was 36.2. 2010 20-34 Year Olds: 20.1% 2020 20-34 Year Olds: 23.8% 2010 65+: 12.5% 2020 65+: 14.3% So more youngs, but also more olds.

Notably, this is not median income data. It is over the year change in private average weekly earnings--a different measure. Here's the latest median household income for each metro, from 2020 5-Year ACS: Columbus $67k Cincinnati $66k Akron $59k Cleveland $57k Canton $55k Dayton $55k Toledo $54k Youngstown $48k

Biden won Maple Heights easily. In some precincts he got 90% of the vote.

And my nieces and nephews think he's an idiot that needs to go away yesterday. Thanks for the anecdote though.

Yes, it was jokingly. But it still definitely happened. And I hear people say it to young kids all the time to this day. It makes me cringe, but it is considered normal to joke with young kids about having a boyfriend or girlfriend or crush or whatever. Of course, it is done in a heteronormative way.

Can you really not? I'm not sure I believe that. I absolutely remember specific crushes on girls I had as far back as Kindergarten. I also remember family members asking me if I had a girlfriend at that age.

So, two things. First, I also would hope that most Americans would never want a child to feel unequal because of their family. But I think the evidence, sadly, shows that is not the case. Second, I agree that discuss vs. curriculum are two different things. But these bills are purposely vague on purpose and it would lead to any discussion of these issues being out of bounds for fear of legal actions.

I'll give you another example. What if a third grader wants to bring the book for show and tell? A teacher would not be permitted to allow that, for fear of legal action. What if a third grader has two moms or two dads? The teacher would need to prevent them from even talking about that fact to other children. What if a book or TV show just casually has a same sex couple? Not allowed. And even beyond third grade, for older kids the law vaguely says that discussions of gender orientation should be "age appropriate" but it doesn't define that. So what if a parent thinks that it isn't age appropriate for their 7th grader to know that gay people even exist? It sounds crazy but I grew up in a rural Ohio town where many people don't actually believe that it is possible to be gay. So no discussion of a gay person even existing would be age appropriate to those parents.

The main ballroom at Duke is also on the second floor. Philly convention center space is almost all on the second floor and it goes over two streets. But not sure we want to enclose more city streets like they have done here: https://goo.gl/maps/A9JX3u7empMfQAqM6

To be clear, it doesn't matter how big of a bridge we build, they will still need to do maintenance like this. And there will still be congestion.

The demand is there. Just gotta build enough housing for everyone. Housing supply is the issue.

Yes, Hamco lost 4,500 not 10k

Absolutely, you'd want to push for the highest quality materials and architecture. But 21st Century buildings framing a 1920s building could be awesome. Especially in 100 years. When they built the buildings in Paris it wasn't to create the amazing streetscape you have today. They were just building stuff. The mansard roofs were utilitarian. Now we cherish them. By the way, those are 19th Century buildings framing an 18th Century building. So actually a similar time difference.

They looked at the options of renovating it, including taking it down to the superstructure and rebuilding from there. The cheapest option was to demolish completely and start from scratch. It even says in the link provided that the project is to demolish the existing arena.

To be clear, the plan was to tear down Heritage and build new on that site. Not to renovate.

I didn't say that it is "always" the winning answer. But it seems like a no-brainer here. What do we gain from having a huge open space around CUT? The green space in front of the building between the lanes of Ezzard Charles is absolutely wide enough to frame the building and provide an unobstructed view. A huge open space here is just going to sit unused 99% of the time.

Grandiose buildings are better when they are framed by other buildings. A new mixed-use district with 10 story buildings lining Ezzard Charles would be amazing.

A lot of equating Jeff Berding's personal beliefs here with FC Cincinnati as an organization. Two different things.

On BRT speeds, is it comparing the BRT line speeds to the other bus lines in the system? I could see how the BRT lines would be slower because they are probably in higher density areas, whereas the full system might be skewed by some long distance lines that travel on high-speed roadways. What would be interesting is to see average speed on a bus line vs. the BRT that replaces it.

In a region with limited population growth you have to ask yourself, "does the investment make sense?" A new bridge on the west side would absolutely create more sprawl. What's the ROI? Definitely negative in the long run, even if it helps a lot of West siders in the short run. The better strategy is to focus on zoning reform so people can live closer to their jobs. But a bunch of West side activists just killed our first step toward that.

It takes less than 15 minutes to get from the corner of Anderson Ferry and Delhi Pike to Fountain Square.

That rendering is of the clubhouse, which will be two stories.

Like the President of the Pendleton Community Council who bought a condo in the neighborhood three years ago and is now declaring that it is TOO DENSE and that "residents of choice" like her will just leave if you keep densifying. Please do so! We'd all be better off.

I guarantee the developer would've gone denser if they were allowed. The demand to live in Oakley is very high. They're not going to make a smaller profit because they are concerned that some neighbors would be angry about parking.
