I’m Leaving on a Jet Plane

If you are reading this on Friday, I am on a plane to Sydney, Australia, where I will speak on Monday at the Residential Markets Outlook Summit. I suspect when the conference was organized that they had no idea how dim the outlook would be at this time, so they asked me to talk about the wonders of planning in Portland.

On Tuesday, April 1, I will speak at the Sydney Mechanics School at 1 pm about how the “planning tax” made housing unaffordable and contributed to the current dim outlook for residential markets. Australian homebuilders, if not the rest of the country, are familiar with that, as the nation has been practicing smart growth for years and has some of the least affordable housing in the world. In any case, if you are in Sydney, please come and see me there.

I actually will arrive in Sydney on Saturday morning, and I plan to spend the weekend riding and photographing steam trains and Diesel motorcars on the Zig Zag Railway.

On Wednesday, I am flying to Christchurch, where I plan to spend a long weekend cycling the Otago Central Trail (on the route of a former rail line). If I get a chance, I may also ride what is left of the Otago Central, which is now known as the Taieri Gorge Railway. I’ve been on it before, but it is worth a second trip.

In any case, there might not be very many posts from me next week. But I’ll post something if I get a chance — though it might just be a report about local tourist railroads, a subject near and dear to many of our hearts.

    Avoid the Spit Bridge during rush hours. It’s a real congestion nightmare.

    The Zig-Zag railway is a good place to spend an afternoon if you’re in the Sydney area. When I was there, you could walk down and catch the train back up the hill. Make sure to post some photos.

    On the other hand, HOAs’ typical provisions requiring a supermajority vote of the membership to change permitted uses afford great stability within the HOA boundaries. This stability makes it difficult and costly for the [home owner’s association] to adjust to changing conditions, even in relatively small matters.

    Sustainabertarian,

    They are not looking to ‘adjust to changing conditions’. That is why they joined an HOA in the first place.
