Enjoyed the photos. Good job as always KJP. 10/10

Cincy Area, read me loud and clear... MAKE IT SO!!!

Definitely worth considering. I'd have given it a B minus just cause its so mundane where I'm at. Not the best but definitely better than what I have to look at on a daily basis. Might have been designed in sketchup ;p. Or possibly a very poor user of Community Viz.

I have shiny quarters! Get in the van!

That ordinance deserves a large "/facepalm". And yes, why not a decibel limit? All the other cities and businesses use that, so why not Cincy? Too hard to compute?

I make custom AMVs and gameplay vids from time to time but I've stopped doing it ever since the inquisition ;p

Quoted for Accuracy. I've also been looking at surveys in the past few weeks. Some people aren't even willing to give up gasoline until it hits amounts like $7.00 to $8.00+ a gallon. /boggled.

(-3) out of 10 That house is full of fail. QFT.

Wow, that city actually has people doing stuff and walking ;p Plus it has a coastal area which I'm always fond of. 10/10 /bump

QFT. But from what else I've read, I guess we'll have to live with our new friends "spiders on a forum". As I send data here I get random slowdowns. Its annoying yes, but nothing to get wound up about :)

They've been saying the same thing about that Kmart for years now. Too bad the whole thing still equals "nothing happening, nothing planned"

QFT Many of these people spend their entire existence on this kind of stuff. Personally, I'm more about work than gaming now ><

QFT and here's why Urban Murals almost always = Excellent. /signed. I even got to participate in a smaller town version of this way back when. /signed again. I'd really like to see more urban art. Something a bit more pronounced than say Percent for Art and other incentivized programs. Don't get me wrong, those are steps in the right directions, but some cities should push their public art and create (or add to) an identity. Excellent. This is pretty much the reason why this is cool, everyone wins. The kids get summer employment they'll actually enjoy. If those kids want to major in visual arts they've got a nice portfolio entry. The artists get to teach and influence future artists. The neighborhoods get awesome murals and it really brings about a sense of place and community. fixt. I mean go for it, its pretty awesome.

I heard google is coming up with GoogleMars, GoogleVenus, GoogleTheSun and GoogleTheMatrix. True story.

QFT. Well, everyone needs to find something to reply to. The following is just my opinion and experience talking. This is not meant to insult or offend any urbanohio.com user. If you have any major concerns I probably won't care. What you say? Yea, so? Not everyone wants lower density. Larger Lots also mean the developer has to sprawl out even further and use much more land to reproduce the same development or [/headache] "improve"(make larger -_-) future developments, which often happens. Larger lots can be a vice to the developer also, since it costs more to develop and build. The developers can easily go bankrupt if they are too zealous [fanatical] about how much they spend. No. Just look at the highways and some of the major routes. They are poorly designed and people have terrible mindsets when driving causing a lot of grief for all drivers in the area. At first, the traffic is "good" but get to the single road everyone needs to leave the shallow fallow and then you hit the traffic snafu. Not only that, its usually the suburban cro-magnon that demands more roads and highways to get them to places they demand to go and this leads to even more needless empty sprawl. You've gotta love the "me me me" attitude eh? -_- Yes indeed, because everyone is inside their carbon copy empty shell. Hence no noise, no life, no nothing. I've been to urban places with even less light polution than the suburbs. Yea, lets forget the fact that a lot of these 2 acre lot subdivisions have needlessly wide roads and multiple cul-de-sacs for any road intersecting the primary street. The rain water isn't gonna soak into the ground through that material. Uh...Urban areas have them too... And I've seen 2+ acre lots with only 1 or 2 trees on them. Usually the goal of subdivisions is to destroy as many trees as possible just to plant 1 or 2 per lot (and thats generous for some cases). O-Rly? The fact that certain wildlife is running about through the suburb doesn't elicit a feeling of guilt? (Or does the guilt arrive only when you hit said wildlife with your SUV?) I mean, it should remind the developers and the residents who's home it really is er well who's home it was... They still play in the streets, especially if they are wide and they know cars are only on them intermittently. Not only that, does anyone see kids playing outside (streets or yard) anymore these days? The suburb sedentary mentality has brushing off on our kids with passing time... Moot. The views also depend on terrain and what you are surrounded by. I can point out several urban areas with excellent views of the city and night sky, and at the same time I can point out subdivisions that are at the bottom of a hill and the only view you get is a view of your own lawn. Lame. Uh huh -_- Gladly - It is elitist, it does cost more, you are correct. - It is also elitist since it literally embraces a "me only" lifestyle. no real interaction or anything. - Lets not forget most of these 2+ acre lots are behind some gated community. I'm just waiting for the sentry towers and barbwire to go up. xp - Its excessive, who really needs 2+ acres or more anyways? Just what are you gonna do? Try to use landscaping to spell something viewable from Google Earth? If anything the quality seems to get worse at least on the developer's side. Homeowners are getting electrocuted in new housing, some are finding their new housing is already in need of major repairs [walls, foundation], others are steping through floors and some are taking a ride when their deck collapses right from underneath them. Don't even care since it doesnt change the impervious surface ratio. Parking a metal car on an asphalt street = no change in permeability. Only because the developers haven't acquired said rural space for more development yet...

What the crap is that supposed to mean!?!?!?!? "What you say?" ;p I want to vomit every time I hear that term! /approved Why even call it Daytonnati or Cincidayton? Why not call it by its real name? Shallow Fallow.

Too much pain. Think I'd be use to it, but no. -_-

Interesting thread there. [insert usual Suburban Scorn talk here]. It'd be nice if US cities would return to actually being cities and real places. Then again, I'm just some communazi. Who's gonna listen to me? /bumped

TANC - There are no cabals. And no black helicopters either. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! Thanks for sharing Andy. Wish I was there ><

QFT But I'll throw in this assist. fixt. XP

They can't use the money for the streetcar or rail, they can't even fathom it. That money is ear-marked for adding a lane to each side of the freeway, or extending the freeway, or turning some local roads into freeways, or stacking freeways. (okay, being sarcastic, but you get my drift.) Sure it is. -_- Isn't that what was said, last year and the year before that, etc and so forth. This is the only part of the story that doesn't deserve a /mudsling FAIL Even Dayton's trollies are actually trollies. Then again, wasn't there a lot of clamor to pave over old rail lines? I guess this is the result. 0 out of 10. Go back out to the suburbs where you feel safe. Knowing Cincy and their timetables this really means, sometime in 2012. Ah well Back to the spectator's box.

Personally, I think the site is fine as is. Maybe I'll think of something later.

*Looks at own avatar* *gives Thomasbw a dirty look* One word... Fail. Still love ya though ;p

In-frickin-deed. Its a public service, and these people with their fallacies and half-assed comments are really getting on my nerves. This quote leaves me with some satisfaction.

You win the thread. Congrats!
