The dining room is better known as a formal dining room, its where you keep the fine China and entertain guests. You only use it during big gatherings. Obviously someone who has a grand piano in their entry way is a good place look for typical household usage. Also why would you have a rear mudroom connected to a full bath?

Also I like how their whole conclusion is that people with more kids have more stuff, great work. I hope California gets nuked.

And the mudroom in older homes typically doubled as a laundry room since then dirty clothes could go straight into the hamper, wash bucket, or washing machine. Having connected to a bathroom and then the kitchen also isn't a bad idea in this house since then you could come in, shuck your dirty shoes and clothing, get dressed with a spare set of clothing you/mom had laid out ahead of time, wash your hands and face, and then head to dinner without needing to go upstairs which is on the opposite end of this particular house.

Have you considered an outdoor shower with neck high walls?

It's pretty dope if the weather permits it.

The thing that annoys me the most about transit is simultaneously arguing of its efficiency and its need to be around for the poors and drunks. When they talk about the efficiency of a mass transit system, those numbers always refer to the maximum capacity. Trains don't reach maximum capacity typically except during peak hours (if they can even hit it), every other time they aren't efficient. What's especially annoying in this case is that they'll pretend that they're efficient and then turn right back around and say that they need it at 2 am when the bars close.

You driving a sedan that has three seats empty from point A to point B is a problem but a bus that's 95% empty driving aimlessly around town isn't.

Buses are generally a good option a bus only needs to replace 3 passengers to be more effective then cars. The issue with transit is the lack of multi modal transit ie you want your buses to connect to your trains. You want your planes to be connected to buses and trains.
Buses just arent as romantic as a train or subway because politicians and tourists tend not to like most buses.
Also at the end of the day good transit is giving people an alternative maybe your car is in the shop or it got totalled.

But again good transit requires good security which requires good laws. There is a reason china or russia has better transit than the US.

Busses are two to four times the physical size of a car though.

I pay no heed to them, they're all unemployed so their dialogue is meaningless.

All products comes to Copenhagen in Cargo Bikes, it seems, and oil prices doesn’t affect the members of the gym of life at all!

This urbanist is trending on Twitter for dropping a new "exposed red brick walls" copypasta:

The "exposed red brick walls" is a common comedy club backdrop. The two people shown are Tim Dillon (the guy in the sweater) and Stavros Halkias (the one who looks like a fatter, younger Weird Al).

If these comedy clubs are anything like the one I went to in Austin, the ticket price is relatively inexpensive but there's an additional fee if you don't purchase a certain value of food and drinks. It's New York so I assume 50% more than what the club in Austin had.

Funny that of someone pointing out that the beach is 90 minutes away, for most of Houston you can get to the beach in Galveston (or any of the other gulfside towns) in that same time. In fact, you could probably do all that in Houston too, with good museums, some great restaurants, and all the big city amenities, and despite rising rent still do better than NYC.

I see he wasn't talking about what "incredible food" he had. Considering how they worship what is essentially gas station food in every sense except for the fact that there's no actual gas station pumps, I doubt what they consider is "incredible food", is in fact, incredible.

Galveston, while one of the worst of the Gulf Coast beaches, still blows Rockaway Beach and Coney Island (the only subway accessible beaches in NYC) out of the water. Hell, even many lakefront beaches are nicer than those frigid strips of sand.

New Yorkers (transplants, native New Yorkers are much more chill) are so insecure about their city lacking something that "lesser" cities have that they gaslight themselves into believing that their cold northern "beaches" are anywhere close to southern beaches. They're missing a lot more than just good beaches, but that's a story for another time.
