Old vs. New: Extreme Edition | weeasssuburb
Dan Bertolet of Seattle-based blog "Huge ass city" spent some time visiting Medfield, Massachusetts (where I gather he was raised). He temporarily renamed his blog "Wee ass suburb." This particular entry looks at two houses -- one, the Dwight-Derby house from 1621, the other a 2005 "Extreme Makeover" McMansion. Throughout, I've found Dan's entries really intriguing, but didn't comment. Today, however, someone commented with "Who gives a flying f*ck about Medfield," which prompted me to post a comment. Click through to read. I do give a flying f*ck, I guess.
Paul Krugman Joins Team Density | hugeasscity
danb comments on Paul Krugman's recent NYT column, which he wrote while in a Berlin mid-rise/ low-rise neigjborhood. I posted a comment back about amenities, and whether it's possible to create architecture w/ amenities when you're building on small (10K) city lots and trying to stick to low-rise (or low mid-rise at best). File under "commentary."

to achieve viable densities in Seattle with midrise we’d have to take out a whole lot of single family, which isn’t likely to happen any time soon
