see that never happens in most cities in america that arnt on islands/peninsulas because its cheaper to build new, single story buildines than destroy the old and build up skyrises.
Don't tell me there is no zoning regulation on the state level...

Suburbs suck rocks. The city is the place to be.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Uhh... transportation costs and pollution from cars?see that never happens in most cities in america that arnt on islands/peninsulas because its cheaper to build new, single story buildines than destroy the old and build up skyrises.
I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with living in suburbia as long as you live near your job and all the services you want to use daily, which I doubt is possible in the American model.Comment

Not going to happen. Zoning changes need public approval, and any pol from Queens who would support higher zoning is gone the next election. The fact is that most of the county is zoned for higher densities than currently exist (most of NYC current zoning was done in 1961, when planners expected to get a city of 20 million, not 8), and the move in Queens and Staten Island (the two boroughs with the most psace left) is to downzone whole areas to keep were it is.Originally posted by Azazel
Let it crawl. First, some higher zoning around transportation arteries... and then crawl from there to the outside, and inside the city.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Eh? How big is that public approval, and does it include the residents of the area, only?
Also, does it take a referendum, or can it be done by politicians?
Very wierd and stupid.

I'm revoting in the run-off for mayor Jim Hahn. I utterly despise Antonio Villaraigosa.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment
