I have been chatting with LLMs about therapy topics and found that they worked best when I loaded as much history info as possible into the chat box. I made a tool that guides the lay person through doing that:

Relationship graph - draw your relationships however you want and AI will understand

Cards - quick ways to ask and journal around therapy topiocs

Reports - will take all your info and create a deep report using various psychology/therapeutic modalities.

Chat - can chat w/all this data.

Why's that?

An AI powered web scraper. Chrome extension. Uses interesting LLM capabilities in natural language (website of your choosing)->structured data. It’s working pretty well!

Fair enough. Art is in the eye of the beholder etc

This isn't far off from how it works. You can get prelim approval. But I believe you need to have final submittal 6 months later.

I intuitively agree but have learned that "Cities should be able to plan their own growth." is just too simplistic.

City planning is much too simplistic for the metropolises of California. Region planning is more apt.

The other lesson might be that 'city' is too broad a term. Some cities are standalone, some are just arbitrary boundaries within a metropolis. Maybe the latter should be eliminated and replaced with a metropolis-wide city.

Agreed, there should be a strict framework within such planning happens, to avoid the housing crisis that CA cities have created for those that don't own land. Japan is a great inspiration for planning like this. US planning, the entire field, is absolutely abhorrent, and should really be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch.

Chicken or egg.

The whole US was once walkable, then we massively subsidized driving for 2 generations, and now they are not walkable.

It's more about the city planners not having to be parking experts. Parking minimums are one of many subsidies to drivers in that they set a supply floor for parking spots. If driving is so popular then why do we have to shower drivers with money at every level of government?

The restaurant mentioned likely relies on street parking for those that drive there. As a shared & city owned resource it's within the purview of the city to manage it.

For the most part this story is overblown. Few cities have parking minimums in their cores these days. And you'll find few that support parking minimums there.

It would be interesting to see city ban all traffic in their area. No private or public vehicles, taxis, delivery trucks, busses or emergency vehicles. Just allow certain sized cargo bikes and like. The true only walking neighbourhood.

Within covid lockdown, plenty of restaurants have moved their seating into the street parking spaces in seattle, and they seem to be doing fine
