It’s likely that you didn’t use Nano Banana Pro. Nano Banana Pro generates a mostly accurate version, regular Nano Banana is much worse.

I like this because it would help make our skyline less boring & would be funny to have 10 Amazon signs, but shouldn't be done as a lame duck action

They did however clarify that only the ground floor units have to be accessible to apply for lot coverage exemption which is interesting

It is, except for Type A accessible units which are outright exempt in the density section and congregate units which count as 1/4 a home

density is still technically unlimited but now in the staff substitute bill theres an asterisks where the FAR exemption only applies to projects with less than 10 units
makes it more difficult to achieve both apartment density and lot coverage

And unfortunately when asked about its effects she blamed Trump and used left nimby rhetoric arguing that new housing doesn’t improve affordability instead of fixing things in her control. www.facebook.com/share/v/1JyM...

Both cities have huge amounts of low-density residential areas that could be easily upzoned. Taxing new housing is bad whether in Seattle, Boston, anywhere.

Taxes on new housing for use for affordable housing, or a requirement that a percentage of units in new projects are affordable.
These taxes increase the cost to build needed housing and make affordability much worse for everyone

Yes, most SFH R-2 and R-3 in Barrie have minimum lot sizes of 4300-5300 sqft, much denser than the average American SFH zone. Newly built R-5 zones have minimum lot sizes even much smaller than that.
