I totally forgot about the Dizzy Mule. That's going to be such a great development when it's done. I've been quite impressed with how Millwork has been coming together.

This could have been, like, 9 mid-rises instead and then OKC could have, you know, a skyline. Yeah, I keep thinking this same thing. And, actually they would probably still be more like high rises than mid-rises. Also, it would have been nice if they could have just bought the land where the curren...

I like the design of the soccer stadium, it looks pretty sweet, and that view is great. Reminds me of the Steelhouse. I'm also very curious about the hotel that is supposed to be built up against the stadium. It makes me think of Rogers Centre in Toronto with the Marriott built into the stadium. I d...

We subsidize electric cars to encourage people to buy them. If more people buy them, it offsets the cost of R&D, which is more expensive than than using existing technology, and having greater mass production typically lowers the price of replacement parts. Eventually the subsidies are not nece...

Design doesn't require more money to be good, it requires talent and a first rate education... and putting the greater good before money and politics. You stated that design doesn't cost money to be good and then listed two things that cost money. Not to suggest that I think that there are not ways...

So, what's the best EV I can buy tomorrow? If money isn't the problem, I'd buy a Rivian. In my pay scale, I'd go for a Hyundai 5 or 6. I feel like the Ford Mach-E and Lightning could also be solid options in between those two ranges. If money were no object for me, I'd go Lucid Air or one of the Au...

Omaha (with Lincoln) is not nearly big enough to draw an Ikea retail store. Best we would see is a planning studio/order point like similarly sized Albuquerque and larger Nashville has. Consider neither OKC/Tulsa have an Ikea either.. and a massive metro like Phoenix has only a single store. The DC...

I can see both sides of the argument on the name change. I think what's more important is the look and feel of the new terminal and the growth that will come with it. As others have said, this is their first impression of Omaha. Yes, you can go crazy calling it Scooters International Airport at Epp...

“We have great people in Nebraska but not great things,” said Gretna Mayor Mike Evans. “Maybe we can merge the two here.” Oh |expletive| off Mike What do you mean? The first thing I like to do when I'm in Paris or Barcelona or New York, is find where the nearest youth sports facilities are and take...

On top of voting to approve a mystery development, I doubt the people of Gretna are going to vote to bring a substantial amount of development to their town. I'd have to imagine most have moved to Gretna to escape that.

"International" has to do with an airport having customs and border patrol facilities more than it does active international flights. Both DSM and OMA currently have these facilities so both can use "International" in their name fairly. At Eppley that facility is currently on the...

I still think there is already plenty of greenspace in this area with the Gene Leahy Mall and the like that we don't need more. These lots would be more fruitful to be redeveloped as buildings.

At most, limit the garden to one corner of the block.

I'm not sure I understand the point in carving out an international arrivals area when even KCI only has Cabo/Cancun direct flights. We have plenty of space, so that's not a concern, but I don't think these gates will get much use. The gates will most likely be able to be used for both domestic and...

I've always thought the cavernous feel of our airport was almost misleading - you come in from the garage and look down the long open hall to the opposite end of the facility and I've wondered "WOW is this space used for?". This new terminal and facility is going to be amazing. This will ...

Very interesting. I thought it was going to be a tear down and rebuild, but I guess that will only be the case for part of the project. It looks like they're keeping the terminal A facilities and remodeling and adding on the new section.

Interesting location. I wonder what led them to pick there over anywhere else, especially since many of their other locations look like they go for the old urban warehouse vibe.

Ha! I was trying to have it make images of Omaha the other day myself. I tried to create an Omaha with severe congestion problems and it gave me what looked like Charlotte instead. It didn't do great when I tried to do St. Louis either. It decided the Arch is narrower and shorter than it is in real ...

I left California several years ago, California is so anti family and that's one of the reasons I took my family out of there. Not only that the schools are among the worst in the nation. I am sorry to say this but California has turned to the worst, California was better, when it was not under dem...

San Francisco is a dying city, I wouldn't even list that as an example of "progress". San Francisco keeps making head lines and not for the right reasons. Excellent. I've been pining for a ocean view Victorian in Seacliff for some time but I don't have $8 million dollars to spend. Let me ...

Low cost states are low cost because they offer fewer services. You get what you pay for. It has little to do with economy. For example the Bay Area tech economy is still head over heels stronger than Austin could ever imagine despite what headlines would have you believe. Orlando is growing by leep...

I've made a couple trips back this year. Went to the Loop a couple times. Traffic maybe seemed a little down in the CBD, but business as usual in the touristy parts. It was by no means a ghost town. Was there for Thanksgiving too and walked around Michigan Avenue Thanksgiving Day. It's a pretty surr...

The recent pedestrian car incident on 39h and Dodge proves that set backs need to be enforced on Dodge. With the walls butting up to the street drivers just forget that there are pedestrians. There also needs to be more pedestrian walkways over Dodge. Setbacks aren’t going to make much of a differe...

"To be fair, there are no rules about the uniformity of setbacks." Of course, not when waivers are granted that ignore them. That's what waivers are for. "While uniform setbacks look organized to one person they can look dull and bland to another." Setbacks aren’t about aestheti...

No, we should not buy and tear down a functioning 414 room, 3-star hotel because it sits on the one impenetrable super block in this part of downtown. That's not good planning and getting rid of the super block here will not have a significant enough impact on street activity to warrant what you're ...

It was pretty bad here in St. Louis during Covid. It's gotten better as things have gone back to normal, but you still see people do it on occasion.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is strong with this one.

But no yeah if there's one thing we can say about the "elites," it's that they love medical opinions from state school drop outs with no formal medical training..

One of the first commenters on that video notes that Chicago has been building new 3-flat and 4-flat apartments that adhere to the two stair case rule by placing one of the two required staircases on the exterior in the back. The city has been building these in high numbers: https://ssl.cdn-redfin.c...

More height would be a refreshing improvement, and It would certainly be more acceptable, in some cases, if the existing and established setbacks were respected rather than a box bursting at the seams of the parcel. And closing the street that leads to the front door of perhaps the most historic ho...

Advertising costs money. If you have $X in your budget and you can buy an ad in Wyoming or in NYC, it is reasonable to buy it in NYC as the market is bigger. As that goes on, the ads in NYC and the focus on this city exclude thought about less populous areas and the people living there get less and...

I also thought this location had already closed.

Someday, in the not so distant future, I hope we realize that these houses look like they are car storage facilities with garage doors that take up 2/3 of the facade, and that builders reconfigure them to look more like people live there.

Utah. The core city of each of its three biggest metros are within 40 miles of each other. Salt Lake City, Provo, and Ogden. They represent 75% of the population of Utah.

Two points here... First, I'm not sure where you've equated the refugee population with being homeless. Just because they're refugees doesn't mean they come along and live on the streets. They generally are receptive and receive help to start productive lives here. Second, and maybe a hot take, but ...
