Description

This week, we briefly touch base on three prevailing sentiments, from recent comment sections:

There is a massive difference between a personal lifestyle choice, and a scalable development pattern.
Folks seem to think the only kind of real estate or housing that one can buy is a detached, single-family home on a large lot. Of course, this is not true.
"Not everyone wants to live in a city!" Yes, correct. Just as not everyone wants to live in any specific place. Yet, more people live in cities than anywhere else (>80% of the U.S. population (via Census.gov, UMich)). We need to plan, design, and build accordingly.

We also reflect on a weekend trip spent walking Salt Lake City neighborhoods, and observing positive infrastructure improvements amidst a sprawling metro.
One note: in this episode, we referenced episode 29, in conjunction with recent comment sections. We meant episode 28. Catch up on that audio here.


For context:
On Salt Lake City bike infrastructure improvements (via The Salt Lake Tribune).
A new SLC bus stop + buffered bike lane, approaching an intersection.
A protected intersection, in downtown Salt Lake City.
A UTA train pic (underrated, and greatly enjoyed).
