urbanism venting 

when are we going to stop counting on inner city, lower income, Black & Brown neighborhoods to carry the water for our urbanist dreams?

@DrTCombs We have some similar challenges in #cville . The current thought is to remove parking mandates but shift development pressure more evenly across the city instead of concentrating it in lower income and/or historically Black areas. I agree that ignoring equity is a massive problem.

@Lyle I suspect our challenges are very similar!

Chapel Hill just did manage to pass a land use ordinance amendment last night to allow duplexes in residential neighborhoods, but with so very many "guardrails." The number of parking spots was one of the negotiation points.

@DrTCombs Yes, your descriptions sounds very familiar to me

@Lyle Also I'm just really annoyed at all the really privileged white men complaining that the Black woman on town council doesn't know what she's doing / suggesting she didn't even know what she was voting on.

I mean that says a lot about how much we're actually willing to understand how complex this situation is.
