I’m not so sure, you would see them from the middle of the lake after all and that’s important down there I’m told.

Not sure where to put this, but The New York Times is providing a map of every building in America. And it's fascinating and mesmerizing.

Subsidizing lower cost online orders with public-funded transit to outlying distribution centers.

In fairness, in the Twin Cities at least, the story mentions Amazon’s facility is “partly or fully” paying to transport workers to their facility in Shakopee. I wonder if that is a small hoped perk for locating a second facility at the end of the Blue Line Extension?

Google, Amazon, Tesla are flirting with getting into homebuilding.

Feels like home building needs some innovation.

The rise of doorbell cams.
Maybe helping crack cases? http://www.startribune.com/across-twin- ... 567913562/
Or maybe not much evidences offered besides people’s feelings.

If by innovation we mean surveillance capitalism, count me out.Google, Amazon, Tesla are flirting with getting into homebuilding.

Google’s Sidewalk division is having a tough time convincing Toronto that we need a Smart City (i.e. Surveillance City), so if they get into the home building business, they can just do whatever they want. Amazon would be much the same. Both would also automate any jobs out of construction.
“Affordable housing” or even perhaps free housing would be much like “free” services on the web, in which the human is the product.
I hope this is not the direction Affordable Housing is going.

Re: City living trends and predictions
Honestly, a rather small footprint, triangular, personal 5-over-1 with retail on the first floor is fine.
The real post-apocalyptic, fuck-you-I'm-rich story is the conclusion to the article:
"Matthew Segal and his wife moved into the [adjacent 2,900-square-foot, five-story single residence], which is next to 42 micro-unit apartments."

As long as he gives the 5-1 a hip/cool/short name, I'm good.
That's really funny though... I would argue (perhaps controversially) that this is better than, like, a Bearpath mansion or something. But if this becomes a "city living trend" for more people, it could be a bit concerning!
