Discover the power of public space as a solution! Reimagining the Civic Commons recently showcased how Lexington's public spaces, including the Gresham Smith-designed Town Branch Commons and Charles Young Park's SPLASH!, can play a pivotal role in addressing a city's social, economic and environmental challenges. Read the full article on Medium that details four key lessons from Lexington's approach to thoughtful and sustained investments in public spaces:

I'm excited to share this new UCLA Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies report, published in partnership with the Terner Center, exploring some of the tradeoffs involved in the use of inclusionary zoning (IZ) policies to meet affordable housing goals. There's a lot of pressure to meet affordable housing goals, but limited tools for doing so. IZ is often seen as a solution, but the challenges of studying IZ empirically leave policymakers with very little guidance on how to think about it. This is not an empirical study, but my hope is that the conceptual approach taken here helps identify and clarify the costs and benefits of IZ. It's a starting point for deeper conversations, not the final word. Summarizing the analysis and some findings: 1. I used the Terner Housing Policy Simulator to model market-rate and below-market housing production through the City of LA's Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) program, with inclusionary zoning requirements ranging from 0% to 40%. 2. All else equal, IZ always reduces production, but higher reqs lead to diminishing gains of below market-rate (BMR) units and accelerating losses of market-rate units. There's a point where higher IZ produces fewer of *both*. 3. LA's TOC program is well-calibrated to increase production of both. For example, TOC w/ 11% IZ produces more total housing than 0% without TOC bonuses. 4. Holding TOC bonuses constant, higher inclusionary zoning requirements come at significant cost. At best, every below-market unit produced by IZ reduces market-rate production by more than 4 units. At higher IZ, this "exchange rate" climbs to almost 9-to-1. 5. Inclusionary zoning isn't just an additional cost. The below-market units produced by IZ have value to the public, and specifically to low-income households, as a private subsidy by developers. I estimate the annual value of those subsidies under different IZ scenarios, ranging from $550 million to $1.7 billion. 6. We don't know how much different IZ requirements will increase rents, but we *can* estimate how much rents would need to increase to negate the value of private subsidies invested in affordable IZ units. And I find the required rent increases are quite small. For example, a 16% IZ requirement reduces market-rate production by almost half. If that reduction causes rents to increase at least 4.8% instead of 4% per year, the costs may outweigh the benefits. To me, that's not implausible. My takeaway: Different tools have different strengths, and land use policy may be best suited to improving affordability in the wider housing market, while public subsidies are best for producing below-market homes. IZ seeks to produce affordable homes by substituting land use policy in place of broadly shared taxes and public subsidies. This analysis suggests that the public may be paying either way, and that the costs of IZ are both higher and more regressive than the alternative
Using the Terner Housing Policy Simulator from Terner Labs, a new report from Shane Phillips at the UCLA Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies highlights the tradeoffs policymakers should consider in crafting inclusionary zoning policy requirements, with a focus on Los Angeles’ TOC program.

San Antonio, a city of confluence, has long served as a pivotal element in Texas’ evolution. Given its significant Latino majority and consistent economic growth, San Antonio is widely projected to be a rising figure in Texas’ unfolding narrative. Recent changes in the city reflect not only an acknowledgment of its rich cultural history but also the potential to shape the future. To harness this potential, we need to look beyond the Texas Triangle and turn our attention south, to a region that embodies Texas’ future in demographics, heritage, labor, and geography. We propose envisioning a new mega-region: the South Texas Triangle. This would connect San Antonio with Laredo, the Rio Grande Valley, Corpus Christi, and the northern Mexican states of Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon. We believe that the future is not a distant, predetermined endpoint but a collaborative and evolving process that we actively shape.The future is a collective project. For this reason, last year, we invited industry experts to explore with us the future of the South Texas Triangle region. Our goal is to create an inventory of the most pressing issues of our time and to explore the biggest opportunities we have to shape safe, inclusive, and sustainable cities. For this purpose, we launched the series “SA Forward: South Texas Triangle,” a collaboration between the Better Futures Institute and the San Antonio Express-News.

We were the #engineers for the 500k SF Wisconsin Place in 2006, for the former JBG Smith HQ renovation in 2013, and for The Claude #MixedUse Development at Chevy Chase Lakes in 2023. With our fingerprints on the past and present development of Chevy Chase, we are eager to discuss plans for its future! Join SK&A Leaders Hakan Onel, PE, SE, Seth Rogge, and Azer Kehnemui, DSc,PE at this Bisnow event exploring specific #investment #opportunities are emerging within Chevy Chase and Friendship Heights, and how developers are balancing the preservation of historical elements within existing structures with the need for modernization and adaptation to meet contemporary functional requirements. #StructuralEngineering #ChevyChaseDevelopment #WisconsinPlace #JBGSmith #TheClaude #MixedUseDevelopment #SKALeaders #BisnowEvent #FutureOfChevyChase #FriendshipHeights #HistoricPreservation #Modernization #InvestmentOpportunities #DevelopmentTrends #AECIndustry #AECintheDMV #BuildingTheFuture #SKAProjects

The June issue of Out & About is now on the streets and online. Check The War on Words to learn why streets "teem," not team, with people, and why "self-confessed" and "high rate of speed" are tautologies.

"It needs to be said: being zoned Single-Family, or having a Single Family land use, does not mean something is actually single-family." YES. 👏👏👏 AND, "We need to ask ourselves: why is a 3-story 5,000 SF house that rents for $24,000 a month completely legal but a 2-story quadplex that rents at workforce AMI is not?" This blog isn't Atlanta specific; city planners need to allow what communities actually want (character!) that rather than focus on restrictive zoning. Congrats, friend! This is bookmark-worthy.
#NeighborhoodCharacter, #Zoning, & #LandUse We are talking about how all three can come together (or not) in our latest blog post. All this is highly relevant for folks trying to plug into the current City of Atlanta Comp Plan Land Use updates. This post is for you if you care about making a more inclusive Atlanta, but have no idea what a Comp Plan is. https://lnkd.in/ecZDgyqx
