the @burkemuseum emails info on car parking that they send out, but not how to get there by bike or transit - with a brand new light rail station just a few blocks away?
how do we change this?
this is a LEED GOLD building! (yes, i know LEED is trash)
this is what the deutsches museum in munich shows for how to get there. transit *first*
berlin's pergamonmuseum? only lists low-carbon ways to get to the museum
transit, regional rail and long distance rail
not even a section on car parking
how hard would it be for the burke to put this online?
we have the following zero/low carbon options for visiting the museum!
1. we are 3 blocks north of the burke gilman
2. we are 2 blocks east of the U-district light rail
3. buses x/y/z all stop within 1/4 mile of museum
to be clear, the burke *does* have alternatives to driving, it's just not prioritized in how they contact people. zero/low carbon options should be the priority, not driving.
on top of this, patrons have to do the work

30% of calc'd FAR of this back to back townhouse project is just... stairs
codes & regs & financing & poor construction quality make flats impossible at this scale
it's not insignificant. it's 1,300 s.f.
the opportunity cost of 4 separate townhomes over flats is basically an additional 3-BR unit.
imagine paying $850k for something like this - and knowing a third of your mortgage is just paying for stairs.
literally the dumbest sh*t i've seen in a minute.
this is exactly what harrell's comp plan is designed to induce.
it's not going to be affordable. it's not going to be accessible. it's going to continue to decimate biodiversity. it's going to reduce climate adaptation.
