Learn why NIMBY's are hurting the environment and driving the gap in income and housing inequality in this well informed piece.

Amen. This commentary could not be more spot on! Thoughtful, smart, infill redevelopment has multi-faceted benefits to the City.

"At the end of the day we would like to build something as opposed to going to court," Kopicki said. "We are still trying to evaluate what we are left with and what type of project we have."

The reduction of residential units at the proposed The Lofts at Eastport Landing project may not be has high as opponents hoped after a Annapolis planning department decision on July 15.

"Future generations are much less likely to own a car than their parents or grandparents."

Though longer commute times alone can be a sign of a city’s appeal, metropolitan areas have to fix their traffic problems in order to prepare for the future. “The best-connected cities will win,” Chris Choa, a vice president at AECOM focused on cities and urban development, said at the recent ULI Ne...
