Discussion John showed our website to his class. Scorn ensued. Tim's path to architecture Creative multidimensional problem solving Specialty in healthcare Travelling and settling in Maine Adra Architecture Tim's path to libertarianism Gardner Goldsmith radio show Never satisfied with status quo thinking The other Anarchitecture - Gordon Matta Clark Large scale art installations Historical injustices in the built environment Disagreement on economics with left-anarchists Give people a convincing picture of what a better society could look like UM, WHO WILL BUILD THE ROADS???!!! Our unorthodox view - preserve access rights, disallow eviction many possible ways to divest and James Howard Kunstler and Chuck Marohn - unsustainability of tax funded roads The Non-Aggression Principle The practical application of these ideas can produce better results Built environment issues are often non-partisan Tim predicted the 2008 crash Zoning has caused growth to flatten and sprawl Cities have expanded infrastructure and service areas with decreasing population density A libertarian approach Eliminate zoning, allow dense, mixed use development everywhere Infrastructure should be paid for by users, not taxpayers Short-term politicians have short-term incentives Big Box store development Hidden subsidies Low value per acre Subsidized auto infrastructure vs. walkable cities Traditional development patterns are still possible It's not nostalgia Finished suburbs lack adaptability John's Thesis Project Parking spots as spatial units Temporary buildings don't pay property taxes Sidewalk Entrepreneurship Bucket o' shrimp Utilize public space for incremental businesses Violent arrest of the empanada lady Soul food entrepreneurs vs. the man Rolling approval schedule - reduce/defer startup costs Every town has a forgotten space Food trucks ADA - federal standards, risk of lawsuits Beercycles - astronomical value per acre The unique role of Architects in libertarianism The Anarchitecture dual mandate Attending planning meetings - the first step towards becoming a hardcore Rothbardian anarcho-capitalist A small town stroad diet Market approaches to parking Small bets - plant street trees, fix sidewalks Divesting infrastructure from government ownership Sewage treatment vs. teachers Private road ownership Infrastructure loses out under government control Mass exodus of teachers Confessions of an Architectural Hitman The federal funding band-aid There are no feedback mechanisms in monopolies Free infrastructure crowds out sustainable infrastructure Is a pragmatic approach reasonable? Small bets in the built environment Small bets in libertarianism Free State Project - building community Destatalize government assets Knee-jerk expectation that government will solve problems The libertarian mindset - government as last resort, not first response Links/Resources John's schools: Ball State's College of Architecture University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Cedric Price Wikipedia MoMA Oh, THAT "Anarchitecture" - Gordon Matta Clark Wikipedia MoMA James Howard Kunstler Strong Towns How much do state and local governments spend on highways and roads?
