I don't think we're going to see much of that: * The projects won't be profitable in smaller towns, because rents aren't high enough to recoup the cost. * Tall buildings cost MORE per square foot than short buildings, so tall buildings only get built where land costs are very high. * This law's top density (7-8 floors I think?) only applies in a narrow window (0.25 to 0.5 miles) around major transit stops with LOTS of service, like < 15 minute bus intervals with dedicated BRT lanes, or trains with > 48 arrivals per day each way. Small towns don't have that kind of infrastructure. * The law only applies in cities with > 35,000 people. |
