This is incorrect. The figure for 2011 is for the average NEW house built in that year, not for the existing inventory of homes in the US. The average of all homes is less than that. This is a very common error, presenting new home data as "all existing home data". Here is just one of many articles that back that up: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/average-home-size-2011_n_1575617

It is hard to believe that the population declined by nearly 2,000 people in the one mile radius around Cincinnati in 6 years(not saying it is not true, just hard to believe). Would that be due to some demographic transitions like smaller more affluent households moving in? Any loss of lower income households in any areas within the radius? That would include a bit of an area across the river, right?-anything happen there? I wonder what the change in # of households has been in that same area vs change in population? *never mind, just saw DEPACincy's post

Yeah I remember as a young adult in the 80's it was not that bad. Westland was thriving early 80's still and Eastland was doing well. There was very little in southern Delaware County. The change in the westside between 80 and 2000 was huge, and it was not good at all as we all know.

Well how did they get him to leave? Is there a magic spell needed? voodoo? How? (The rest of the World needs to know! lol). *I think he left Columbus because none of the dudes here would f*ck him or put up with him.

This should be a Bridge Park, the Easton area should have several Bridge Parks, That site off of Goodale near Grandview should be a Bridge Park...etc. etc.*sigh* We should be building a ton of them, and right along a planned light rail line to connect them all like a line from downtown up to the airport and up through Easton for instance. Columbus just can't think really big when it comes to certain things...too afraid of failing to try.

That crazy Mplsite that used to be here and got banned, and is now on City Data Forums. The Columbus development thread there is just ruined because he trolls it constantly and they do nothing about it. I just browse there at times-I would never be a part of that poorly run site. I do not understand how they let people get away with that kind of trolling. I bet he has more comments in that thread than any about his new city all together. There are a couple of others on there that are nearly as bad. That site just lets the trolls run free. That is my pet peeve (I just looked at the site lol). *How many forums has that nutcase been banned from?

That was a huge change...I was born in 63 so I remember it well. Things are a bit more diverse now with a number of trends and anti-trends going on at the same time. A good thing really. From Travolta Disco suits to Miami Vice linen jackets lol. (I bought one of those Don Johnson linen jackets at Northland Mall...and actually wore it around *so ashamed*)

Well it was only a matter of time. Snow covered roads!-ugh.

It will not get built as it is planned now for 150 million, or only $200 per square foot. No way that happens. If it gets built, it will be for more than that. It may not be $400 plus a square foot, but it will be significantly more than $200 a square foot(but as you mentioned, I don't think it will get built so it is a moot point really-Market Tower, maybe.)

So this is going to be 210 million dollars for around 500,000 square feet, or around $400 a square foot, while they are telling us that the 750,000 square foot Millennial Tower will be $150 million or around less than half the cost per square foot?...right. This will rise, Millennial Tower is doomed IMO.

LOL! Brought to us from Datingadvice.com! LMAO! Doesn't this belong in the stupid city ranking/ list thread?

Now quit hating on the uncool crescent! lol And I am too old to even know the difference between dressing like 2003 and now..sweatpants/jeans/pullover shirts/tee shirts then, same now....??? (comfort always wins with me). It did really go for Trump though so.....

That is a very good point and I did not even think of that. You think they could come up with a rooftop something or other-unless the type of construction of that part of the roof would not allow it.

I would love to see another cultural attraction of some size on the triangle of land south of COSI that they were going to put that zoo component on.

Yeah it is becoming more common, and I agree it does work in the situations you mentioned-with the glass of the Moxy and with the art and the colored shipping containers of this development. As long as it is not completely dominant but is part of a larger variety of materials I am ok with it. And I agree again that we really do need more modern and contemporary architecture and East Franklinton looks like a good place for that. The Scioto Peninsula is also a clean slate that would benefit from that IMO.

Red or orange/red brick is not really "trendy"...this gray/black stuff appears to be so, at least to me. And it looks downright funereal to me if they use too much of it. And it is brick, which means we will be stuck with it for a very long time. I would rather have a little more variety-there is a place for it, but not just swathes of it-it is just too dark and depressing. I agree about more modern and contemporary stuff-like Gravity!

I really like the colored/shipping containerish parts. Otherwise this would be deadly dull. There is way too much gray/dull brick going up. I have also completely changed my mind about the red color on that 9 story building going up off Oak downtown. As long as the red is not especially hideous, MOAR COLOR!!!! less dull brown/gray/black brick. Hell I am longing for more good old Columbus orange/red brick than all this dark dull brick if we have to have brick, brick, and more brick. *The art helps as well.

Well the thread on this on skyscraperpage was closed because "it was an obvious attempt to troll the city of Nashville". SMDH. Sweeping stuff under the rug indeed. And by a mod from... Austin.

^^ Fortunately the Georgia/Texas game came right after ours and took the limelight off of our not so hot second quarter, with Texas pulling the upset while also struggling a bit in the second quarter, and Georgia losing after running their mouths(way worse than OSU fans)about how they should have been in the top four. Our win will just be remembered as a nice Rose Bowl win. Thanks, Texas and Georgia! lol.

It has gotten way worse over there. I cannot believe the lengths some over there are going to in order to defend this (mainly)bad architecture plopped in the wrong type of neighborhood. Some of the new houses look ok really, but does it matter when there is no modern city infrastructure? I looked at Nashville and the lack of sidewalks outside the center city is astounding. And when they do exist they are not connected to anything but are scattered about in certain subdivisions. The sprawl there is only going to get worse because they are cut off to the northwest by the mountainous topography-the sprawl can only go south and east. I think that even with Nashville being so huge in area, most of the new growth is already outside the city limits now spreading south and east. Columbus is hardly ideal but it is not like that.

I would really like that strip center to be developed more than anything. That thing has been an eyesore forever.

1.Hyperbole-also known as being over-the-top...as I said. Hyperbole: exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. synonyms:exaggeration, overstatement, magnification, embroidery, embellishment, excess, overkill, rhetoric; 2.You said it was 21st century BRUTALISM! As an architectural style, there is brutalism and then there is not. You used the word. geez. 3.It uses brick in order to blend in with...the rest of the brick! More bull. 4. Complete and utter nonsense. But hey, keep trying. I am leaning now less towards over-the-top, and more towards just plain deluded or willfully ignorant.

Well let's see... -We won't be tearing this down in 25 years. -This is not any kind of brutalism-there are no large areas of bare concrete. Béton brut and all. -I don't think the attempt to blend the brick and glass parts is lazy at all, the materials are good, the design is good (to me), so "lazy" does not cut it for me. -It does not look anything like the awful Soldier Field debacle. I would never even have thought of that association. There are four sentences, and every one is suspect. So yes over-the-top at best, deluded at worst. Again this is my opinion, just like your post is your opinion as questionable as it is (brutalism, really?) And right back at ya with this one (yes I know it was not directed at me). Again, you call this building an example of Brutalism? *shakes head*

Really? It is one thing to not like the building, but "...we'll be tearing down in 25 years..." is just a bit over the top-like the whole post really.

Check out a post of this by this OP on Skyscraperpage city discussions. The Southerners are out in force in defense mode.
