@Em0nM4stodon @ablackcatstail @GeePawHill Honestly, most of those homes are inconvenient suburban garbage (groceries, work, medical assistance or really anything without a car? Perish the thought, it's #CarDependency cult land here) and most housing programs have a bunch of conditions attached.

Americans (and Canadians) for some utterly incomprehensible reason seem allergic to #panelki and #MixedUseZoning.

Panelki : Construct Your Socialist Prefab Panel Block - by Zupagrafika

Plattenbau, Panelák, Панельки: Construct your Soviet-era prefab panel block while learning about the history of mass housing in the former Eastern Bloc. Illustrated with photographs and socialist propaganda posters the book contains 164 prefab panels to press out and assemble.

@saana @AmyZenunim Where would you even put those? #SuburbanSprawl has no third places or open public spaces and strict euclidean zoning means businesses are forbidden from mixing in with other residential buildings.

If that sounds like you're making a #CarDependent hellhole you cannot survive in without a car? Well that's because that's exactly what you're making.

@rigatonimonster The best part is building out all those roads to start with while knowing full well they'll be unable to afford maintenance but the #SuburbanSprawl and/or rural meme must continue.

@chrismak @kagan @mekkaokereke Somewhat relatedly, the sprawling car-dependent human-hostile infrastructure doesn't exactly help children interact offline either.

Especially not when "hanging out" is practically outlawed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHlpmxLTxpw).

Just discovered Frank Laundry via his video on #WalkableCities, urban #Gentrification, white flight, redlining, #Communities, #SuburbanSprawl, the (old) New Deal, and more.

He covers a lot of ground. The editing is tight, his schtick is funny, and he has fun with transitions that keep your attention. If his other videos are anything like this one I have a new favorite.

Kudos to F.D. Signifier who makes a point of elevating other creators and introduced me to Frank.
