Chicago Urbanist: Driving and the Generation Gap
http://chicagourbanist.blogspot.com/2012/07/driving-and-generation-gap.html
Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Driving and the Generation Gap. It is no secret that there is a a decline in driving. In America. From December 2011:. Americans have been driving fewer miles every month since March, a decline fueled by factors ranging from the weak economy to high gas prices to aging boomers and teens driving less. Is this decline a long term trend or a short term aberration? While some pundits make the case. We can also challenge the idea that aging ...

January 2015 – Fremont Avenue Experience
https://fremontavenueexperience.wordpress.com/2015/01
Transportation, Land Use, and more in Minneapolis. January 30, 2015. January 30, 2015. Okay, my first post won’t be anything special (in fact, fairly weak). So. Today, my wife emailed me a story from work:. I was in a training this morning and one of the examples of how to lead people through change … And the example was a family deciding to go carless. Other members of the family would be resistant but how do you convince them that this is a good decision, etc. I’ll even admit, dropping from two c...

March 2015 – Fremont Avenue Experience
https://fremontavenueexperience.wordpress.com/2015/03
Transportation, Land Use, and more in Minneapolis. The Type of Roads We’re Building. March 3, 2015. March 3, 2015. I’ve spent a good chunk of time on streets.mn lambasting the GOP for their transportation rhetoric. We’re still in the thick of our 2015 legislative session, and transportation is obviously a huge part of the debate. So I want to spend just a little bit more time evaluating what both parties seem eager to propose with new spending (the DFL plan. I guess). I figured the link of US-212. Sarcas...

Chicago Urbanist: The suburban partnership
http://chicagourbanist.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-suburban-partnership.html
Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Wednesday, April 16, 2014. For several years, some aldermen in Chicago have bloviated about imposing a commuter tax on suburbanites who work in the city. You can see its roots in 2011. When it was proposed by city Inspector General Joseph Ferguson and praised by several aldermen and opposed by the mayor. It was ressurected in 2013. With support from alderman Bob Fioretti. And this acrimony has played itself out in public policy. Look at how little cooperatio...

Chicago Urbanist: Chicago's construction crisis
http://chicagourbanist.blogspot.com/2013/08/chicagos-construction-crisis.html
Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Friday, August 9, 2013. Well, perhaps the word crisis is too strong? But still, Chicago isn't building enough new buildings fast enough. Oh sure, there are new buildings going up. But not enough. Just check out this graph of construction [via Matt Yglesias. Growth in Chicago’s startup community has led to a very tight market for appropriate office space, particularly in the River North neighborhood, according to a new report by CBRE. For the past few years the W...

Chicago Urbanist: The Downtown living era
http://chicagourbanist.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-downtown-living-era.html
Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Tuesday, September 2, 2014. The Downtown living era. The latest news comes from Cleveland. Downtown development is taking off. And people are flocking to the center of Cleveland, a city once derided as the "mistake on the Lake". Detroit, despite bankruptcy and depopulation in the periphery, is seeing a replete core. The same old story in Milwaukee, where the downtown core is booming. I have long covered Chicago's Loop development. As you can see from this map th...

Chicago Urbanist: Chicago and Detroit: comparing interurban rail
http://chicagourbanist.blogspot.com/2011/09/chicago-and-detroit-comparing.html
Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Thursday, September 22, 2011. Chicago and Detroit: comparing interurban rail. Recently metropolitan Detroit proposed a plan. To create an interurban rail system in the region. The two proposed lines would essentially restore routes that closed in the mid-80s. This plan. In size. Chicago had experienced similarly meteoric growth, expanding by 54%. In Chicago the interurban lines fell on hard times and the metropolitan region created the Metra. In Detroit the inte...
