As part of our recent Spring Update report, we shared one of #BaltimoreTogether’s recent wins. The completion of Phase 1 of #PerkinsSquare marks a significant milestone in the #PerkinsSomersetOldtown (PSO) Transformation. This achievement aligns with our commitment to #InvestinPeopleAndPlaces throughout #BaltimoreCity. Phase 1 of the mixed-use, multi-phase redevelopment project delivered 103 new mixed-income housing units. Supported by $40 million in #ChoiceNeighborhoodImplementation grants, the Perkins Square community will encompass 796 of 1,651 new mixed-income units being developed across the entire PSO. This project exemplifies #BaltimoreTogether’s dedication to redeveloping blighted properties and increasing population through strategic neighborhood enhancements.

The recent adoption of the City's Housing Element plan to meet the 6th cycle of the California Department of Housing and Community Development's (HCD) Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) paves the way for a more vibrant and diverse community. The plan includes: Increased Heights and Densities: Allowing for a wider range of housing options, fostering a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments. Transit Priority Areas (TPA): Encouraging development near public transportation, promoting walkable and sustainable neighborhoods. Focus on Affordable Housing: Integrating more affordable units to create a more inclusive community. tlrs architecture is currently tackling a project that exemplifies this new vision by designing multiple units on a single family lot. This project demonstrates how smart design can maximize space and create livable, sustainable housing options. By utilizing the 14 principles of Biophilic Design, every unit focuses on livability and quality of life. The adoption of the similar housing elements positions Southern California cities for a future with a wider variety of housing options, improved accessibility, and a focus on affordability. At tlrs, we are excited to help navigate these changes and design innovative, biophilic housing solutions that benefit the entire community. #SouthernCalifornia #RHNA #Upzoning #AffordableHousing #TransitOrientedDevelopment #tlrsarchitecture

Los Angeles has the potential for thriving, inclusive communities, but current regulations are holding us back. From restrictive zoning and stringent state requirements to costly mandates, multiple factors are limiting growth, reducing affordable housing options, and affecting the vibrancy of our city. The Los Angeles Builders Association is actively tackling these issues, working to remove barriers and create more opportunities for development. Together, we can build a Los Angeles that serves everyone. Join us in the push for progress and help shape a future that works for all Angelenos.

Vancouver’s planning labels it non-market vs. market housing—a term that might be clearer. The zoning bylaws are more tailored and guided by process in Vancouver versus Toronto, oddly more informal. The province grants Vancouver planners extra municipal authority, like design review boards with expert oversight. Architects have long served on public committees to foster public trust. Yet, despite the bureaucracy, Vancouver also lacks sufficient non-market housing as supply issues remain severe. They’ve introduced creative formats like SRO housing, or Single Room Occupancy—a tower of tiny units similar to Mega buildings in Cyberpunk 2077. However, an enduring divide between capital and planning hampers progress despite ample tax incentives. Nimbyism, prevalent there, plays a part. A walk down Granville Ave reveals the stark reality of homelessness, violence, and addiction. Defining the problem and offering structured solutions is indeed halfway there, while the private sector’s innovation covers the rest. What would Elon do? https://lnkd.in/g28dBjbY
