This is absolutely amazing. Encouraging growth in our city expands tax revenue and allows for more things to go on and well as more improvements to our overall infrastructure and making the flow of all things in the city more efficient, reliable, and sustainable as well as being more greener and pleasant for living and quality of life.
The city planners need to watch strong towns and look at other cities who have worked to undo the damage from the car centric planning of the past that has made our cities ugly and unattractive to residents. We spend so much effort and money helping xerbs grow and turned our city neighborhoods into high speed routes to help the commuters exit the city!! So our neighborhood is made noisy and less safe to help people to live outside the city?? Wtf is wrong with city planners? It's like they don't live in the city!!
This sounds amazing! I'm glad the Midwest seems to be embracing the concept of strong towns. Please don't just do apartments though, but also townhomes & condos to help increase actual ownership. Also, please make sure to add walking/biking paths for mixed used development.
Look at all of those vacant lots on the west side of town. Zoning isn't the problem - it's that developers can't make enough money to make those projects worth it.
To be fair, the city does nothing at all for the west side . I fact they have blatantly dumped on it. It's been like that for decades, it will take decades of investment to bring the west side equality of city investment they have put on the east side.
Awesome! 2 parking spots required per unit, zoning, increased taxes on multi-unit developers, 2 stairwells required on 3 story buildings, and countless other bs regulations are the reasons we don’t currently see infill happening to provide “middle housing”. Hopefully lots of 3 bedroom places can be added if we don’t need two stairwells because the layouts can accommodate windows for each bedroom as required. Density will create greater tax revenue for the city.

This is how you do it.
Decrease regulations, increase housing supply, and watch prices drop.
Good luck to our friends in Cincinnati.

Riddle me this: Cincinnati went from a height of 500,000 people in 1950 to a low of 300,000 people today, and yet...they need MORE housing??
everyone has a brain.
common.
Sounds like a recipe for slum lords!
That's a really horrible idea.
