The hotel industry is getting dragged kicking and screaming away from their outerbelt motel model by Airbnb and apparently doesn't want to bother with adapting all the way.

It didn't mention Cincinnati which has strong city vs. suburb deathmatch culture. Unlike Columbus which doesn't have city vs. suburb deathmatch culture but does have city+suburbs vs. low-denisty surrounding counties deathmatch culture.

Oh jeez, are you trying to say MLB fans say the letter "A" funny? 😆

duh you just ban abortion

I don't think anyone expected the flyover ramp to look that outrageous.

The '80s monorail was presented at $40M.

I think you mean 3C+D rather than 3CDC. I mean, I wouldn't mind if 3CDC paid for it all...

And they als And they also wouldn't be paying $34/sqft or whatever.

In other words, I'd like to see what the bar is, how the other cities got it and what their numbers are. And if they got federal funding, state funding, issued bonds, created TIFs, sales taxes, private sector investments, more.

COTA and at least two members of City Council are very much under the impression that we can't get federal funding at current density. I don't know how to figure out how that is dileniated.

The terrible old zoning code really hurt our density.

Anything aimed at kids is going to wind up in the upper 270 corridor since up there has a high birthrate and high income.

Yeah it seems like apartment complex lots are optimized for getting people to their doors as quickly as possible in contrast to big box store and other commercial lots that are designed to hold the maximum number of cars for peak events with little attention paid to getting people besides the handicapped being able to park close to the door. The end result is a lot of smaller one- and two-row lots rather than one monster one. They really could have more buildings put on them but the buildings wouldn't end up being that big.

Hopefully more out-of-town developers build now that our zoning isn't jacked.

The mini-splits might be because it's 3-story plus a finish-ready basement and one thermostat in the living room wouldn't suffice. Then you'd have to have an HVAC system with multiple zones too.

On the other hand people who are high might feel empowered to go out and do things now rather than just sit at home and watch movies since they don't have to worry about getting busted.

I could go down to Appalachia right now and score anything I want. I can't do that in the city.

They also might not be finished all the way with interior build-outs on some units.

put a mini-split in every window

Well they were quite noisy for quite a while now weren't they?

In a meeting last night Columbus leadership were using Nashville as an example that went too far with minimal transit and car culture-oriented growth therefore being unable to recover.

Every conversation about work in Ohio just ends up going back to warehouse stuff

Phonics isn't new, my grandmother was teaching it at her one-room school in Appalachia since the 1940s if not before.
