1) Driverless cars still need the road space necessary for regular cars. So cities design for driverless cars will still have wide roads, lots of parking spaces (even they don't accommodate people), etc. 2) If driverless cars going to be in constant move most of the time, it will consume lots of energy, that we don't have. Even in a 100% renewable energy future. 3) Last but not least, driverless cars in cities can be dangerous, because, in case of a malfunction, it can run over pedestrians. At least people won't feel the assurance and safety they need to cross a road comfortably. This will seriously damage the pedestrian realm.
This guy shit the bed saying self Performing property management will reduce property management expenses to 1/3 of outsourced property management . Third-party property managers roughly make 10% margin on their fee. God knows what else and his spiel is off by a factor of 10
This dead on. It’s most clear in downtown Honolulu where virtually every skyscraper is 1980’s construction and until very recently the vacancy rate had been 25-30% for as long as anyone could remember. I would say, however, that developers do know what the others are doing. Planned and permitted square footage is typically tracked by the cities. I think it’s just for a short window rent psf and lending are ideal and so all developers begin the process around the same time with similar lead times.
That's a good question. I can't answer it for sure but I know each state is different on that so I'd have to dig into the California code. Here's a guide for each state. generalcontractorlicenseguide.com
To know how Jonathan Segal does it you will have to shell out $695 for the Architect as Developer course: architect-as-developer.teachable.com/ This is definitely a career path I'm perusing, as soon as I pass my last ARE exam. Thanks for this interview.
The urban planner didn't actually answer the question about peak usage. We don't need driverless cars for METRO transit systems to suddenly make sense; I imagine the two aren't that well correlated. Overall, the issue of driverless cars is exponentially more complicated than your distinguished guest suggests. @Ben Stevens, I understand the fallacy that you brought up about car usage, although I don't have a good answer either, if any at all.
