I once designed a domed city in the desert that was meant to have flying cars and giant vacuum cleaners to clear nuclear fallout after World War III. This was for an actual client and I was paid. She and her husband (he was a lawyer as I recall) were Bodhisattva. She visited…
Some architects tell people how to live, and some listen to how people want to live. Which do you prefer?

@mattbaran @CarolWalshReal1 Maybe they LIKE construction noise! Weird.
@mattbaran Yes it will almost certainly increase property values from what I know about that neighborhood. They’d be insane to fight development (esp if they own)
@Shawn00Guerra @mattbaran We should clone them lol
NIMBYs will protest developers wanting to build apartments in single-family neighborhoods on the basis that it's not being done out of charity and good will, and then turn around and say that you don't deserve to live in the neighborhood if you can't afford it.
@HousingSpock Developers don't give a 💩 about affordability, missing middle, exclusionary zoning or any other trending twitter catch phrase. They are in it exclusively for the money. Nothing else.
I make a lot more money than I used to and my one major indulgence is that I let myself buy pretty much every art book that I want, not just the ones I find in thrift stores.
@menorman @EvokingGenius @mattbaran Sure, but is it pretty?
@mattbaran did the slippers come with the book?!
@JoshInEncinitas @EvokingGenius @mattbaran for real, better hope the dry cleaner isn't contaminating the ground
@EvokingGenius @mattbaran An eyesore across from a dry cleaner. 😅 Cope harder. Next time you can buy the land to preserve your aesthetic needs. 🚮
@mattbaran Matthew... Are we having this conversation again?
@TitleTechNY Yep. And I often find that counsel is not *that* expensive (especially relative to project costs) when you hire the right team for the job.
@antonia_mdprjct It amazes me how many people buy/sell RE or even negotiate an agreement without counsel. It's not like you are buying a pack of gum. When big $ is involved, you need to make sure you are protected.
@antonia_mdprjct OK so that's a no on reddit?
