@@schenksteven1 I'm sure everyone adapts differently, whether it's transit, biking, a mix of driving and transit, or just not going, but overall sales are up 10% at local retail businesses of those neighborhoods in which street parking was banned since Oslo made that one law change in 2017. That suggests the segment of the population who depended solely on driving to those neighborhoods to support local business either contributed insignificantly to the economy or adapted easily to the change. Keep in mind it happens on a neighborhood basis. Those neighborhoods with higher residential density are where the need is greater to eliminate street parking, and allow the residents out from the oppression of vehicle congestion. I realize there are other problems in U.S. like the white collar, 45 minute commute, but we're talking about cities with residents, not corporate campuses. My opinion is the U.S. problems are from a bubble created by government overreach, policy earmarks favoring specific corporations, lobbying, and trickle down, or top down funding initiatives throughout the economy. It's ironically a lack of ground-up capitalism that is hurting the U.S. as an actual place nowadays

I've had so many conversations with suburbanites where they become righteously indignant about the taxes they pay. But the subsidy they receive to make their lifestyle possible, is ENTIRELY invisible to them. I don't even blame them for being unable to see it. What do they know about how much roads and highways cost to upkeep? or pipes, pumps, water sanitation, electric, traffic lights, etc. If there was no subsidization of the suburbs, almost no one would choose to live in them, because the tax burden would be unbearable.

"Vancouverism" as it's called in particular prioritizes mixed-use high density construction (with a distinct albeit sometimes boring architectural style) with required amenity contributions from developers for virtually every form of development. Want to throw in a new modern condo building in BC? Okay, you have to dedicate public park space(s), mixed use commercial space, affordable or subsidized public housing, and/or other public amenities (or just donate a big chunk of cash to the city for them to use for public projects). It is inarguably the reason why Vancouver (downtown especially) is as livable as it is -- assuming you can afford the typical, extreme high costs of living in any metropolitan area.

I'm loving this new approach in telling the story of Strong Towns and strong towns. Value per-acre (and taxes per-acre) has been a transformative metric for how I view places in my local area.

I live in Brooklyn, NY. We have a lot of old neighborhoods with shopping strips, apartments over the shops, and residential side streets around them. You can walk to shops and there are subways that can take you to Manhattan. Modern zoning often does not allow this kind of mixed use development.

This makes me think about population density and why we cover it so much on our channel. In a sense, density is another way of thinking about the productivity of land (that’s easier to calculate but not as precise, because it ignores non-residential uses). I think why we find density so interesting is that there are these large differences in "residential productivity" between different places (for example, a townhouse development having two or three times higher density than more spread out detached homes) that aren’t obvious until you actually run the numbers.

And those sales keep the lights on and completely outsell everything else. Toyota sales so many crossovers of various sizes and styles yet you won't see that with sedans and cars.

The analogy to cars and trucks is helpful, in part because it reminds us that efficiency is important but also not the only thing to be considering. Just like there are good reasons to be the less-than-most-effcient car in some cases, there are good reasons to built less-than-most-efficient land uses in some cases as well. The idea is not that every single development needs to be maximally efficient in and of itself, but that efficiency should be highlighted and prioritized.

This. This was the single best video strong towns made. This is the one that made me UNDERSTAND. It's because of "value per acre".

Seeing all these places turn into what Portland uses to be makes me happy, and sad, at the same time. I miss my city. This channel inspires me to try and get more involved. To try and be a part of the solution

I live in Asheville and this is bittersweet. Asheville is cute but its an amusement park you know? Many service workers are sending 50% of their check to rent (or more). Thankfully there are new housing projects in progress but a couple hundred units will go fast when its so many that are housing insecure. I appreciate you covering the concept of value per acre. Maybe that can promote the building of more housing (or at least the appropriation of taxes to even more housing)

The idea that our cities at one point destroyed half of their heritage in the name of "urban renewal" is still crazy to me. Even if it was a good idea. Why not build the new areas on empty land? Why did they have to bulldoze the city first??

Being from near Asheville, it is so tragic that it's almost unliveable now in the past few years because of the obscene traffic, largely single-family homes, and plans for even more highway widening. Transit like ART is almost nonexistent. If there was any kind of transit infrastructure at all then density could improve.

Well said! I was a municipal manager for about 5 years before the lightbulb went on for me, but once the realization came I could't unsee the mistaken approach to development we have been pursuing.

Recently I've thought a lot of the Poletown plant built by GM in Detroit that cleared out an entire neighborhood. It was controversial but heavily promoted as a way to create jobs. The place is still operational today and is now called Factory Zero. But did it actually help reverse the city's decline and catalyze further growth and investment? It would be interesting to compare that to a project today like the Joe Louis Greenway.

Great to have the hard numbers that "taxes per acre" provide when discussing with friends who are skeptical. Super valuable video. Thank you.

Putting this in terms of economics makes good sense.

I just cited this video in a course on strategic planning as an example of a focus on strategy (desired overall outcome) versus just ad-hoc planning. I'm obsessed with this video and keep coming back to it. thank you for making it!

I live in a town in West Virginia, named Martinsburg, that is a former woolen mill town who's economy was devastated by NAFTA in the late'80s early '90s when most of its clothing industry shut down and moved overseas. Ten years ago, the historic downtown had a vacant, run-down feel. I'm happy to say that in the pat 10 years, the town's fortunes have turned around, and those vacant woolen mills are being refurbished into residential and commercial uses, people are taking an interest in the downtown again with people renovating historic structures and opening new businesses, and we are just this summer opening a 1.2 mile hiker--biker trail downtown, that runs on the right-of-way of a former rail spur, and there is a budding emphasis on everything associated with the concept of walkability in the downtown core area that I am hoping will continue to grow and bear fruit.

I'm loving these new videos and am so grateful for them. Well made and compelling! I can send this (and others) to my city council members (and like minded neighbors!) in my smallish town Eureka, CA on the remote north coast of California. These make dollars and cents arguments that can change minds. Eureka, like Asheville, lacked the finances to tear down their "blighted" old town to build a downtown mall across multiple city blocks. The idea of wrapping the whole footprint of the proposed mall was just brilliant! And now both our towns have character in our downtown cores that so many other cities don't. We're well into the next step change, and working on infill projects to build mixed use and housing on parking lots downtown, but the opposition to this based on a completely imaginary loss of parking is breathtaking. Your work makes our efforts to help our town be better and smarter so much easier. I've not seen such sensible content in bite-sized and easily defensible, shareable ways.

Tampa, FL is starting to do this correctly. They are building walkable mini-spaces like the new Mid-Town development. They took an old commercial block, levelled it, and then built a ring of apartment buildings with some shops in the middle. Problem is they built a bunch of really small apartments that cost about $1000 per sqft to buy. So nobody can really afford to live there.

How does value-per-acre account for “non-productive” buildings such as libraries, churches, parks, etc.?

@lws7394

Жыл бұрын

There is value in multiple ways to parks and libraries. A neighbourhood with a park at the end of the street will have higher value, and thus tax revenue, than a neighbourhood without. Even a modest park, available by foot, has significant benefits to (mental, physical) health , which will lead to lower health care expenses. A park can play a role in, expensive, storm water management and will lower pollutans in an area . And to resident users they offer a free/low cost recreation which they otherwise had to make (transport or private market) costs for ... Librariies employ people and offer a centre/network of knowledge and learning to a community which are also valuable ( and can be measured in a way ..) . Churches build networks of comfort/consolation, trust and support. These networks are very valuable in any society, especially in an individualized society like today . Without social network support/access most people will not thrive in life. Isolation is killing.

When your land is cheap and abundant - you should be concerned about raising land value and taxes per area, however doing it too long will bring you another set of problems. At some point, it is worth considering taxes per capita. As everything in economy, the impact of density on infrastructure costs is subject to the law of diminishing returns. If the density is too low even the most basic utilities would be cost prohibitive. Water, sewerage and electricity are taken for granted in most urban centers, but nobody expects it in every cabin in wilderness. Add little more density and you start seeing some forms of public transport. However, there is an opposite story unfolding as well. Although, the diameters of pipes and their costs do not grow significantly with the population density, construction costs do. Let`s compare two extremes. Green field development - we draw a line, and an excavator can start digging an open trench for those pipes. Now imagine similar pipes should be added in dense downtown - at best, we must block the road, mitigate alternative routes and some compensations, break and repair pavement, protect all other pipes and cables. In some instances, open excavation would not be possible at all, and we will have to use HDD or other similar techniques. Not to mention longer and more expensive permits. Higher population density requires more expensive structures, more complex engineering solutions just too provide services for all residents. Try to find a spot for new school, new hospital, new community center, fire depo in a dense city center - the land acquisition cost would be prohibitive in most cases. This is the reason why New York struggles to pay for the upkeep of the infrastructure. Those are two different extremes . Most of American cities which went bankrupt were struggling from depopulation. The land was not expensive, and even if there were some affordability issues those were caused by low income and unemployment rather than high property values. On the other end of spectrum there are cities like New York, Toronto and Vancouver. Population is growing in such cities and the land is super expensive (more valuable than structures on top of it). Both types could have struggles with infrastructure - but those are different struggles. Zoning could create an artificial land scarcity and density stacking will only exacerbate this problem. Towers will only further inflate land value, but Taxes per capita will be decreasing. Now they are replacing few high paying individuals with a bunch of low paying ones - how long will it take to hurt your city budget? Adjust your Breakdown of Revenue by Building Type to account for population density, no, of course, low density will not become profitable; but medium density would be more productive than high density (per capita).

Cities don't own the land!

Wow, this is superb content - keep it up!

I’ve been entertaining the idea of. Owing to Asheville, and this has definitely helped with my decision.

1 problem with the thumbnail is that we can't have independent buildings sharing walls anymore. Due to lateral motions from wind and seismic, as well as fire code requirments, most building codes require building separation. this varies by use case, building height, and location. I just bring this up to note that a modern, low-rise, development would look very different than the older buildings slapped next to each other. Its also why you sometimes see new apartment and mixed use buildings taking up a whole block

Great comparison at the 13:20 mark. To take this one step further, what about the difference in economic opportunities these two options provide? Not sure if there is a way to pull employer data related to this. Part of having a strong town is having good jobs.

I live in the Midwest (Ohio) and we have towns every ten miles that are full of multi-story and multi-use and these buildings all standing empty because the chain stores all build in the suburbs. How do you convince home depot or Walmart to build downtown if there won't be acres of parking lots? Most of these towns are lucky to have a couple restaurants and a few non-profits. The towns have lots of close-in housing, These people still have to drive to the suburbs just to buy a board or a mixer.

Yep, it's also so nice in those kind of places.

Property taxes are structured differently across the country. Where I live, for example, town-level taxes are about $3k/acre (or $4k per capita). It would be great to see examples of places that are already "doing it right" in terms of sustainable tax policy.

I feel lile when it comes to new buildings almost always its efficency over quality. efficency is important, but people deserve high quality enviroments with detail in the facades. this is what separates historic buildings from modern ones and within reason and budget i think the acknowledgement of this is overdue by all concerned in the making (and destruction) of our towns and cities.
