The Deleted Scenes - New and Old #168
Can a ‘Not Charlotte’ Recipe Revive a Region?, New York Times, Santul Nerkar, May 2, 2024
It all depends what that means. The piece is about the arrival of high-tech manufacturing jobs to this old tobacco and furniture hub, and how the people and the place will adapt and benefit. It’s a good read.
In American English, a “dual aspect suite” is an apartment with windows on two or more walls. It turns out, maybe not surprisingly, that the scarcity of this floorplan type in the U.S. and Canada is due to regulation. Basically this has to do with the code element requiring multiple stairs/exits, which forces buildings to be larger and blocker (generally). I believe this is what “single-stair reform” is about. But the building this article profiles manages to get those coveted dual aspect apartments by putting one of the required stairs/exits outside!
Fun design-focused piece. Remember That Time the EPA Killed the Sedan?, The New Republic, Kate Aronoff, March 22, 2024 Another piece about accidental and bad effects of regulation!
This is the good old light-truck loophole: make a passenger vehicle big enough, and it’s regulated as a “truck,” which is held to lower fuel efficiency standards than “cars.” I wrote about this once before. Some will say, this is the car companies’ fault, not the regulators. I guess? But are you more concerned about assigning blame or figuring out what happened?
This is a great piece of hyperlocal reporting that gives you a taste of how insane and conspiratorial local community meetings can get, and how different that process actually is from anything resembling real input from the community, fully understood.
