For planners, developers, and communities, it’s the fastest, most effective way to see what's possible and align on a vision before a single brick is laid. This shot captures a perfect execution: a four-story building that respects its neighbours with careful setbacks and matching brickwork.

It’s golden hour in autumn (look at those colors!), and the integrated community is already active. On the corner lot, with separate, well-defined entries, these small businesses are a perfect fit. This is about creating truly walkable communities.

I'd like a 100 mile food store. I'm very basic for food ingrediants. I'd like an alternative to major food chains. I'd like to be able to drop in for fresh meat and veg every 3-5 days. Or call for kid on bike delivery within a few hours.

Love it. Need more examples of how we can bring mixed use to r1. I had tried to do exactly this with street view photos a few years ago but it wasn’t nuanced enough yet at that point. Would be fun to see if we could riff off the CMHC design catalog for for some designs as well

You certainly don’t mean like this? 😂 I had to write a prompt that would write another prompt to get to my current mostly coherent output.

We need a “15 Minute City Community Land Trust that builds affordable+ walkable corner lot units.
