  I look down the alley and see half a dozen alley units built on top of garages that date from the 1920s. It’s yet another one of those old ideas that fell out of favor and gets recycled as new, but I have already mentioned that on my own site.

  I wouldn’t make it a top priority since I would rather have more people living on the street instead.  But anyone who has a deep lot like that and wants a family member or a mini community it would work great!  You would want to make sure the green space is a nice shared area.

  The alley infill idea isn’t new, but the development idea is.  There is nobody better than Jeremy Drucker to offer this service.  The question is- will he sell my street side house and I’ll just move into the backyard?

  Alley-loading may have been around for a long time, but it’s nice to see the idea regaining currency - about bloody time I say.

  Where I come from, the urban density is *way* higher than is common here, and it makes for a very goo d sense of (sorry Levi) community, and far higher emphasis on walking, biking and so on, and radically de-emphasizes cars.

  I love the idea of the partnership between Stitch and the owner/developer… very good thinking.
