"Spread" is not the verb you want to hear in that sentence. I hope the best for you. My dad did well on chemo and was recovering until he tried radiation. That knocked him out real quick.

How's the staying power on this? Folks still playing?

I usually make it a rule not to buy games when they first come out, but this has the potential to be a game I might play a lot of. Or almost none of.

I guess the Mount Rushmore topics aren't going anywhere, so there's no way to avoid that influence short of prohibiting it as a response...and it's a valid answer, so that would be silly. Instead, I'm gonna see what happens if I take two answers. For science!

I'd probably just get one of those little two-story push-carts. There's one lady in the neighborhood who uses the nearby bus stop -- without her, I wouldn't even know it was there -- and she always has one wherever she goes.

There's a good chance you're getting a more than just corner stores. I don't know how far away your nearest Target, Walmart, or Kohls are, but consider those as real possibilities.

Nah, not enough square footage for that. There's a mid-sized grocery that opened in the area called Lidl -- I presume they exist elsewhere. I'm thinking it'll be about that size.

What would be nice in that area is a gym, tbh. I don't mind driving to the grocery store since I'll probably buy more than two hands worth of stuff, but it would be nice not to have to get in the car to reach a place where I could work out. Not room for both, though, and overall, the grocery is more important to more people.

Most of my friends converted from Genshin players to Star Rail players due to the former going downhill (according to them) in terms of how the company has been treating its fans.

This is a bullshit narrative furthered by a very loud minority of fans. Whether your friend is part of that minority or has just been swept up by the "tell a lie loud enough, often enough" phenomenon, Genshin is precisely where it was two years ago, no better, no worse. This minority tried to stir up crap about a month ago, trying to promote a boycott on the banner sales during the Chinese New Year because THEN Hoyo would take notice of them...and those banners were the highest grossing of all-time, beating a record set 18 months earlier.

So no, that's not true at all, but if you want to talk about that, come to the Genshin thread and/or discord channel.

Place and Prody still don't have a single drop. Which will be the last standing?

Another observation, all three Honkai songs have been out for a while and the two Genshin songs are still standing strong. Get rekt, Star Rail converts. (Genshin also represents P0's last track left, and it's about the last song I would have nominated for anything...but I totally get why it's here, and why it's still to-be-revealed.)

The problem with suburbs, in principal, is that they are basically built for the explicit purpose of allowing the automotive industry to maintain a chokehold over society.

The development mentioned here will hardly turn my area into a 5-minute or 15-minute city, so regardless of how well-implemented it is, the people here will still need cars.

However, that supermarket isn't really a "supermarket." The average Giant, Weis, or Acme in this area is at least double that, and Wegman's is even larger. The most parking spaces I've seen used at Giant (sans holidays or snowstorms) is about 15 deep and 8 across, so we'll assume I'm bad at estimating and round up to 200. It's across the lot from a strip mall of minor stores and between them there's probably 1000 spaces. The only reason they're there is become of minimum parking standards, which are based on absolutely nothing.

1.5 per residential isn't that much in a suburban area. I bet those folks end up fighting over spaces. I'm more bothered by the 4 per 1000 ft^2 of retail, because there is no way that much commercial property warrants 278 spaces. They could axe that entire extra lot along the south side.

Okay, I got the current plan. Apparently it's still VERY early in development and the meetings are to get community feedback before they start making anything more concrete. I doodled on this a little to help with the orientation since it's rotated compared to what I drew above, using like a third of the pink part of my previous sketch. Posting externally because it's a large file and I don't want to skimp on resolution.

https://ibb.co/m5pW6WL

I live basically across the street from the "podium building." The red road that's vertical on this pic and nearly horizontal before is the collector I discussed earlier.

All things considered, I don't really feel bad about this. This is not anywhere near as large, geographically, as I had anticipated it needing to be. I guess my whole sense of scale is off given how big the properties in question are. It...looks kinda nice? I have a few unresolved questions, still, but I've gotten over my urge to dig in my heels.

But dense development "doesn't fit the character" of the area? Is this a rural area that sprawl is just now starting to reach, or do you live right next to an actual city but insist that further sprawl is preferable to building new things close by?

I'm not describing this adequately. I meant more the character of the neighborhood. Architecture, etc. There's a place across town where they inserted a 5-over-1 in the middle of blocks of duplexes, and it sticks out like a sore thumb. The state hospital itself has a very rustic feel that I know won't be completely preserved, but I'm wondering if they even try.

foolm0r0n posted...
There will be more local cars (maybe 1000+ as you say) but local traffic PALES in comparison to thru-traffic.

Not true thru-traffic. Nobody would go out of their way to take this road. But anyone moderately local will use this road rather than cutting straight out to the "bigger" roads.

And I agree that there's the potential for upside if they add destinations beyond just the housing. I dunno how much mileage we get out of that much devoted commercial space. It's also possible the housing community has some amenities, like a local pool or something. But until I know that, I'm a little alarmed.

foolm0r0n posted...
The weirdest thing (and this is totally widespread issue that applies to basically everyone, def not just you) is this feeling of authority that homeowners get, that you're now the guy who reviews and approves any nearby development. But you're just some guy who signed a loan. You weren't elected as mayor, nor won a bid as an engineer. You deserve nothing and your opinion is not really worth anything more than your renter neighbors, or even your theoretical future neighbors. The only thing you're entitled to is the 3-10x appreciation of your real estate, which a sane person would be quite happy with.

Right. This is really why I started this thread. To talk through what's going through my head as I come to terms with being on both sides of the issue. On one hand, I support progression, which this most likely represents. On the other, the scope of the project shocked me. At the very least, it sounds incredibly ambitious and I want to know more before I sign on.

Unfortunately, I went over to the planning office and the guy there didn't even know there would be people coming in to inquire about this sort of thing. He even photocopied the letter I brought with me, probably to show his boss, who is supposed to call me later. Barring that, I'll just have to wait for the public meeting next week.

edit: Just got an e-mail from the boss, which basically said "I recommend you attend the public meeting."

Oh, I certainly understand induced demand. It's less a matter of the roads being designed with 13 lanes and more the configuration and lack of other routes for the traffic. I'm fairly certain there will not be any means of transportation available directly to this area, either. There's a rail line close enough that some people will walk it, but suburbanites legitimately do not understand the concept of taking the train anywhere if they have to walk 10 minutes to reach it, and there's no possibility of extending the line. There's a bus line that runs through there, but that's about it. I will, of course, see what the plans are and watch the presentation before making any real impressions, but adding more traffic is...well, I suppose the argument here is that people will find a way to alter their behavior.

And in effect, that also just recently happened. The road passing by along the edge of the property goes over a bridge at one end and that bridge had been out for most of last year. They just rebuilt it. But in the meanwhile, all the traffic that usually went through that area had to be redirected. It was absolutely terrible for the first two weeks, as everyone tried to take the very next road over...and then people adapted. To an extent, at least. It was still worse than if that road had been open the whole time, just not nearly as severe.

foolm0r0n posted...
unless the green part is crazy huge.

It's a little over a square mile. (690 acres.) It's a very large square cut out of the center of our slice of suburban sprawl. (The area where I live is about the only part of the county that can't really be described as sprawl.)

Colegreen_c12 posted...
A duplex?

I guess that's the right word. I called it that once to a contractor before they came over, and they got super confused, telling me that's when you have a home above another home, so I've steered away from calling it that. But that guy was probably just being dumb.

.

Anyway, gonna head across town and see what info they have available before the meeting.

I bought a house in the town where I grew up about 4 years ago. It's a split home (I dunno what that's called where it's like a rowhome but you only share the building with one family) at the edge of a grid of blocks. Across the street is the old state hospital, a mental facility that in its heyday had like 30 functioning buildings across a fairly sizable campus. These days, it's still open, but they're only using like 4 of those buildings and the rest are either in disrepair or torn down, which means it's land just sitting there, asking to be developed. The state hospital occupies about a quarter of a major square of land nestled between three municipalities, with the other three-quarters being mostly a park.

Here's my artist's rendition of the local map so I don't have to dox myself:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/848e7188.png
Red dot is where I live. Pretty much everything surrounding the southern half of that park/hospital complex is housing, some of it the not-rowhomes I live in and some being small single homes. The rest of the county is all quintessential American suburbia.

I knew they were planning to redevelop some of the land in the state hospital, but I thought it was just a small chunk of it on the eastern end. I had heard something about building apartments, and given that my experience over the last two years with Cities Skylines has led to Youtube feeding me a steady diet of urbanism videos, I figured that's probably a good thing. So hey, good for them. Go for it.

Today I received a notice in the mail giving notice of a proposed plan that is going to redevelop sixty-eight acres into 69,000 ft^2 of commercial space, 230,000 of industrial, and 728 new residences -- about one-third apartment and the rest town homes. And I'm like :surprisedpikachu:.

Needless to say, this is way more than I ever imagined them building. I can imagine developments elsewhere that look something like this and...it doesn't fit the character of the area at all. The state hospital currently is rustic and idyllic, with lots of forested area on the border between there and the park. The hospital grounds themselves are full of tall, old trees and wide open spaces between buildings. It's nice to walk around, aside from all the poorly-paved surfaces. I'm not exactly fretting my "walking space" because I can walk around developed blocks and the park is right behind it, so I'm not all "not in my backyard, mister!" Also, I'm not one to stand in the way of progress, however, I do have a few concerns.

The first is that, as I said, it doesn't fit the character. Or at least I assume it doesn't. I only have this notice, and will be heading down to Municipal Hall when I can to look at the development plan. I'm not worried about the commercial -- that's probably a few corner stores and one medium-sized grocery store, and the industrial probably accompanies the existing facilities along the east edge of the area. I can't precisely picture how much 230k ft^2 is, but given what's already in that area, I'm not too worried with one notable exception.

The second is that a project this size is going to be long and noisy, right across from where I'm living. We already have so many roads torn up with construction projects right now. This will be a major nuisance. But also temporary. I can manage.

However, the third issue is traffic. The road right along the edge of the property is used by locals as a quick access from one side of town to the other, given that the other roads that run parallel have tons of stops and lights along them. Despite that, it's not a big road. Two lanes and enough space for cars to park on one side. It can handle existing traffic just fine, but it's already handling a pretty heavy load. Add another, I dunno, 1200 cars just for the residential, plus a slew of business and light industry, and it's going to be atrocious at certain times of the day. And as near as I can tell, there isn't a reasonable way to add carrying capacity. Even if they widened the road, which they could do, the roads it connects to aren't any larger, and the intersections where they meet are very contentious during rush hour. Or when school lets out since to the west of the park is the high school and an elementary school.

I'm really kinda blown away by the scope of this project. On one hand, I'm sure it would bring tons of revenue to the town, which is really strapped compared to the surrounding areas for a variety of reasons I won't go into. And I do generally support what I imagine is probably decent land use (at least compared to building a billion unaffordable giant single homes like most developers in this area do.) But man, I dunno about this project.

There are two meetings where the public can attend a presentation and offer comments. One is when I work, so I'm hoping I can attend the other, next week, and learn whatever I can before then, but yeah, this is so above and beyond what I expected that even I'm inclined to dig in my heels a little. Any recommendations?

Lineage II - Shepard's Flute
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqWJz4J3e4c

This is a song I need to be in the right headspace for. Its a lovely piece for guitar and flute(?) and some strings and percussion. Shepards Flute is sneaky because you think its going to be a rinky dinky little Western vgm song but its got a lot of substance; theres a real undercurrent of sadness, a real heft to its presence.

undercurrent of sadness count = 2

I'm really surprised to see someone else nominate this. Glad to see it squeezed into the top half, at least.

Ogre Battle 64 was a game I lent to a friend. We were tight in middle school and then he moved away, but we stayed in touch. In college, I lent him the game, and somehow it ended up in the hands of his girlfriend, who he broke up with abruptly because she got pregnant (and it turned out the kid wasn't his.) She left their college and moved back home, but somehow wrote me a note -- I've never met her -- promising that she would send the cartridge back to me.

Unsurprisingly, that never happened.

If you're wondering, no, that is not the first time we've had 60 users all give the same answer before. Day 70: That's So Raven was nearly 70, in fact. (And also rounded up to 82%.)

Anyway, say goodbye to our slew of video game title-inspired prompts for a while.

Welp, that was even more one-sided than I thought it would be. Might as well go all-in while we continue this theme.

Also, holy crap we got a lot of nominations yesterday. I need to get back to general suggestions soon.
