This is a product shot, but I'd fuck with a closet organization system like this so hard.

Herringbone floor too.

My place in Kingston, which I moved into in April - I'll have better pictures once I'm back in the fall and hang up some prints that I've got. I've only actually lived there for about a week, but I like it a lot - it doesn't overpower the furniture nearly so much as my last place, which was as student-y as it got, and felt like it was going to blow over in the next strong wind as an added bonus.

Going nuts looking at places. Everything cool too expensive etc. Was looking at properties that had already sold and found this tiny house that sold in April that looks so fing peng. If it came back on the market I'd buy it in a second.

On a more philosophical note, any thoughts on the Corbusier quote "A house is a machine for living in" ?

le Corbusier always seems so absolute and totalitarian. His city plans were inhumane.

On the topic, I'd love to read abut Urban Planning. Anyone got any recommendations? Why cities are what they are, how they come about, etc?

A question. If cities are very purposefully "designed" or engineered, even if it is meant to produce "vibrant and alive" neighborhoods, isn't that still taking away some degree of agency from those who will be living there? Kind of a "this is pretty and you will like it" determinism.
I have a (undeniably idealistic) vision in which the "ugliness" of modernism and brutalism presents the populace with a unified front to "rebel" against and make their own. That's why I find myself drawn to chipped concrete, shitty graffiti tags, and ledges waxed from skateboarders. Humanity finds a way. Has any thought/work/study been done on this type of thinking (perhaps not to the extreme degree mentioned above)? To me all the beautifully designed towns just seem creepy, insular, and cultish.

(full disclosure, all of my knowledge on this subject was learned from wikipedia pages, so pardon me if this is a dumb question)

--i second 's recommendation of jane jacobs - the death and life of great american cities. great read, very ineresting

also, a country of cities by vishaan chakrabarti is interesting so far. haven't finished it yet, but it is pretty america-centric so i dunno if you're interested in that.

there's this building downtown i've been by a few times and always thought was neat/someone's really pimp house. Googled it today cuz i remembered to take note of the address. Turns out its actually a 6 unit strata condo building, and was built in 1981. crazy ahead of its time, would have guessed it was less than 5 years old.

shitty pics taken from some real estate site:

I know houses are more desirable and "better" but I can't shake the feeling that flat are just cooler and cool people live in flats and only dorks have houses.

It seems like some cool people should live in houseboats. However I met a poet once who lived in a houseboat but they weren't that good. As a result my opinion on houseboats is causing a significant amount of cognitive dissonance right now.

Depreciating asset though innit?

When I was like 12 we took at houseboat down the canal du midi for about five weeks or so. It was great fun. Everyday we would stop in a tiny random town and get delicious cheese and bread. Very relaxing to fall asleep on water too.

man furniture shopping is so shitty.

it should not take 10 min to find an SA that's willing to talk to me. when i say i want to order something, they should know how long it'll take for it to come in, not a rough estimate about when the warehouse might have it/when they might ship it. and that estimate should not change by a week (in their e-inventory system) literally within the span of our 10 min conversation.

in other news i finally fucking found a desk that's not ugly looking/made of woodchips and imitation metal/outside my price range. hope it shows up before the end of the month
