I am an elevator technician for over 38 years in NYC. I work for one of the EMANY corporations. And actually they are the largest in the world. Having serviced and built units in some of the most prestigious addresses in the Manhattan, I can tell you, these custom made units, will present challenges not foreseen by the builders. And consequently will have unpredictable consequences for service. There is the possibility of good outcomes if they designate regular maintenance, during off hours, because once someone has an appointment and their Porsche is stuck on the elevator, they will change their tune. Especially if the tech is some 40 minutes away stuck in traffic. I for one would love to see that email.

Yes! I would love to see this channel tell me something positive about a block of flats that's been designed in the Tiny House style (houses, not the ones with wheels that should accurately be called caravans and are nothing new). It should be obvious by now that solving the climate and housing crisis should involved large buildings full of cheap starter homes that are cunningly designed with small studio, one bed and two bed flats laid out as perfectly as possible for modern life. And probably communal facilities for exercise, parking, storage and so on.

[@ThomasHope73]

Likewise! Well said.

[@thenotanclan]

Interesting and all to watch from afar - however, I think many viewers would be equally interested in a video researching genuinely affordable and innovative housing projects around the world

[@liamness]

I guess it's kind of boring. There are already a lot of videos on youtube about "missing middle" housing, so the solutions are known and they are not flashy. Basically, you build lots of 3-8 storey housing (smaller buildings do not offer enough density, taller buildings require more complex and expensive construction methods and materials) and build transit and amenities at the same time. It is not that the solutions are unknown or require innovation, it is just that this is not the way to generate maximum profit. So you need an entity to step in and take control of housing provision that is not focused on making money, e.g. government or non-profits.

[@IndyTravelGuide]

The majority of this channel's videos feature just that. They cover a huge variety and the whole range from social housing, to occasionally luxury construction.

[@GeraldWeinand]

As an intern architect, I worked on the Nordstrum's department story in San Francisco in the mid 1980's. The building had two elevators that could handle semi-tractor trailers, taking them from street level to three (?) levels of loading docks below grade. Building also had the first use of curved escalators in the US.

[@yaush_]

Money don't buy taste, that's brutally evident

[@jonevansauthor]

Absolutely. They people are relying on someone else to tell them what good taste is, but that person is selling them ugly luxury to charge them a lot of money and make huge profit. What they think they're doing is going to a middle aged Saville Row tailor who really knows what they're talking about and positively drips style, taste and distinction. But they're buying Paris catwalk fashion and baseball caps instead and they're too ignorant to realise :)

[@ogre27kain]

Every day I hear about luxury homes being built but not a peep about helping out the regular people and the massive housing crisis we are facing. The part that really makes me sad is that most of these will sit empty while people sleep in the street in front. Man's greed knows no bounds!

[@MrCmon113]

Absolute bullshit. There's huge social housing projects everywhere. Also there's plenty of empty houses outside of city centers. You are taking the resources from places with empty houses with force and pumping it into already popular places. And you don't see how this will lead to those places always staying expensive.

I wish you guys could check on some constructions on Balneário Camboriú ans its relation to its colappsing beaches (in a way) or see how they are straighting up crooked buildings on Santos. It is just insane to reallign it with people living in it.

[@siahsargus2013]

Funny that all of Brazil’s recent skyscrapers have gone to a place with no people in the off season 😅

[@Notpublic4719]

To be fair there’s one thing Balneario Camboriu and Miami have in common: obscene latino wealth parked into empty skyscrapers 😭

[@datswassup07]

This country loves building the most ridiculous things yet we can’t have affordable housing, healthcare and education. But sure. Let’s build a skyscraper where you can park your car 500 feet in the air.

If there’s any proof that the rich aren’t taxed enough, this is it

That's a real good model designed Feature history heading 2024 Beautiful performance

[@grantmccoy6739]

It just occurred to me, this could be an awesome motel! 😂

[@dylanwilson2296]

Well this is nice. I like your content. It's well made, informative, and I love architecture soo.....

[@drottercat]

How empty do you have to feel inside to need something like this? Sad for those people, bad for the planet.

[@averteddisasterbarely2339]

There's gotta be a way to still get to those catalytic converters !

You can be certain that Insurance providers will take a very hard look at a hole that penetrates floors and is hauling gasoline or electric battery powered vehicles.

Imagine if the skyscraper was something different and the standard convention was building downward even transit systems were underground and all electric. The surface land would be for parks, forests, golf courses, swimming pools, hiking and bike trails, recreational activities, etc

[@falsemcnuggethope]

Imagine a functioning subway system.

[@farahabdulahi474]

yeah i want natural sunlight in my home

[@John...44...]

No chance I'm living underground thanjs

[@ScentlessSun]

@@John...44... lol totally understand

[@ScentlessSun]

@@farahabdulahi474 haha totally understand. It’s just something interesting to think about.

[@themekfrommars]

Or like Evergrande building electric cars, it signals the end of their capability of extracting the returns shareholders expect from their core business.

[@pikachude5490]

As a big petrol head and longtime viewer, great watch

[@FranNyan]

Do hope they have a good system to keep the car exhaust from getting into the living space, plus something to keep the grime on the tires off the floors....

[@profwaldone]

Simple overpressure would do the trick, blow in air at the door and suck it out at the furthest point.

Some driver is going to accidentally hit the accelerator and go flying out of the top floor

I want the Oldsmobile Town Homes.

Great for the top 1% while 99% gets it harder by the day...

Ooh la la. I park my vehicle up in my apartment too. It's a 5-speed Schwinn.

My first home purchase

[@hofimastah]

Awesome! Soon you will be able to drive into your bedroom and dont have to even leave the car to sleep!

Missy Elliot had a Ferrari design bed (that was over 20 years ago 😊😊)

just buy a camper

[@jacobbashford2182]

This is unironically what they want eventually. We live in a world where to get around were dependent on these car companies. They want to make it so we never have the need to move around, just consume from home

[@takuan650]

I feel sorry for those prestige wankers who would stress out on sh!t like that. I'd pitch my tent, park my bike next to it and enjoy the silence of an evening lakeside.

[@Hiro_Trevelyan]

There's housing shortages everywhere, the construction sector struggles to adapt to environnemental changes and rich people have fun driving to their FLATS. They somehow managed to extend car-centric infrastructure to a ridiculous point.
