^ Wow, nice work. Really gives a sense of perspective of how it will fill in.
These google maps aerials really show the amazing density in our CBD - it just 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 we don't have height.. Oh well, we can't have everything, right?
Great photos, Harley. I walk by this twice a day, and I'm impressed by how much sun the southwest corner of the top 1/2 of the building gets. It gets sun all day long, this early in the year. I wasn't sure before it went up, with all of the taller buildings to the south.
^ I think this is what people want because this is what people can afford. Sure, everybody would love a 800-1000ft condo instead of a 500-600ft one, but with prices already in the 250-300K for a small one, not many people are able to shell over half a mil for a condo.
I think more people are realizing they can live their lives in a smaller space.
I've surprised myself with how easy it is to live in a puny bachelor. I had major reservations about moving into my 250sq.ft place and planned to move out as soon as I saved up some cash, but now I'm going to stay in there for a few more years. It's honestly fine.
Now that I think about it, when I was a kid, I was raised in a 2100 square foot house, with me, my older sister, my mom, my dad, and my grandma. We barely used the lower half of our house... meaning we could have easily lived, all 5 of us, in a 1000 square foot home.
True, you don't necessarily have much choice of how large a space you could have if you're limited by finances. But ending up living in such a tight unit might still show people how it is possible to live comfortably in less space, and change their ideas of what we need to live.
As a single person moving into a 550sq/ft 1 bedroom unit next year, I am seriously worried about feeling trapped/claustrophobic. I'm focusing on reducing the amount of furniture I plan on buying to go for a minimalist feel.
