“The number of floors and the presence of a podium varies; the key unifying element, it turns out, is under the skin. They’re almost always made of softwood two-by-fours, or “stick,” in construction parlance, that have been nailed together in frames like those in suburban tract houses.

The method traces to 1830s Chicago, a boomtown with vast forests nearby. Nailing together thin, precut wooden boards into a “balloon frame” allowed for the rapid construction of “a simple cage which the builder can surface within and without with any desired material,” the architect Walker Fieldwrote in 1943. “It exemplifies those twin conditions that underlie all that is American in our building arts: the chronic shortage of skilled labor, and the almost universal use of wood.” The balloon frame and its variants still dominate single-family homebuilding in the U.S. and Canada. It’s also standard in Australia and New Zealand, and pretty big in Japan, but not in the rest of the world.

There’s a reason why stick wasn’t the default for big apartment buildings until recently, and why these buildings are limited in height: Sticks burn.

It was the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed thousands of balloon-frame buildings, that brought this lesson home. Before long, the city instituted a ban on wood construction that’s still partly in place today. New York City had declared its downtown off-limits to wood construction in the early 1800s, eventually extending the proscription to all of Manhattan, plus the Bronx, Brooklyn, and parts of Queens and Staten Island. By 1930, a list of fire-resistance best practices compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce was recommending stick-frame bans in dense urban neighborhoods and a two-story limit for everywhere else. Stick construction had effectively been banished to the suburbs.

modern mid-rise buildings in texas. 

Los Angeles architect Tim Smith’s company, Togawa Smith Martin Inc., was working at the time with the City of Los Angeles on a 100-unit affordable-housing high-rise in Little Tokyo that they “could never get to pencil out.” By putting five wood stories over a one-story concrete podium and covering more of the one-acre lot than a high-rise could fill, Smith figured out how to get the 100 apartments at 60 percent to 70 percent of the cost. The building, Casa Heiwa, opened its doors in 1996, and the five-over-one had been invented. (“Let’s put it this way,” Smith says. “No one has challenged me to say that they did it first.”) The public didn’t take note, but West Coast architects and developers did. They could now get near-high-rise densities at a wood-frame price. Soon, the rest of America could, too.”

Twin Cities single-family construction holds up in March

Homebuilders in the Twin Cities kept the construction spigot open during March amid growing concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic.

[seat-safety-switch]

It might seem paranoid, but I am now convinced more than ever that the Princess Auto weekly circular contains a secret code that tells of the Real Deals. I have dedicated my life to decrypting this complex puzzle, and it is only in the last few weeks that I have made major progress, thanks to my connections at the university supercomputer laboratory and enough Japanese convenience-store methamphetamine to stop the heart of an elephant.

Years ago, there was a dragway here. My friends and I would pop burnies in the water box and then, at the bidding of The Christmas Tree, pop that clutch and embark upon a spiritual journey to understand the true nature of speed. Now, that track had been lost, and with it any hope of understanding my place in the universe. That dragway was deconstructed into gravel by a conspiracy of corrupt city politicians and the unyielding thirst of homebuilders buzzing like hummingbirds to the flowers of just-one-more-deal Hail Marys to avoid the insolvency they brought down upon themselves.

Now, a Princess Auto sat calmly beside where the dragway once dominated. That humble store was still able to keep its head above water even after the loss of wild-eyed psychos raiding their hydraulic fittings aisle to construct last minute ghetto-fabricated manual boost controllers in the pits before tech. I was convinced that this was the Princess Auto that had sent me those encrypted circulars, that some force within it bid me welcome, to accept me into the weird hardware/surplus store family. If I could not have speed, I thought, at least I could have a well-developed understanding of the Chinese scrap-to-cheap-shit pipeline.

Someone had told them to expect me, I realized, as all eyes in the store turned to focus on my twin-turbocharged Buick Reatta, its Holset turbos pushing wailing furies of discarded boost through the screamer pipes mounted on each side. At first, I had thought it was simply the fact that, as in other places, I had the weirdest car around, but then I remembered that the average Princess Auto parking lot is ninety five percent Japanese imports by volume, their pilots so far gone that they were no longer even aware of the concept that what they drove was weird. It was inarguable: someone within had been waiting for the Reatta specifically.

I had barely entered the store when one of the associates stopped me.

“Mr. Switch,” he said, a shit-eating grin on his face, “Congratulations on being today’s Special Customer! Here is a $20 gift card.”

As I reached out for the card, everything became fuzzy for me. I awoke hours later, long after the store had closed. I realized that I was sitting in the Reatta, which was now stuffed to the gills with thousands of dollars in cheap tools that I did not particularly need. Those fuckers had done it to me again.

March homebuilding permits dip to four-year low

This was the slowest March for new metro-area residential construction permits since 2015, BATC-Housing First Minnesota reported this week. One of the snowiest winters on record may be to blame. But in an already tight housing market, a slow start to the spring selling season bolsters predictions that Twin Cities median home sale prices will continue to rise in 2019. There were 359 permits pulled for a total of 962 units in March, according to data compiled by Keystone Report, whose weekly surveys…

Housing market boomed in Salt Lake County in 2017, report says

SALT LAKE CITY — For the first time in Salt Lake County, sales of multifamily housing units topped $1 billion in 2017.

Overall housing sales were also among the highest totals in history, a new report stated, even though there was a slight decline in the number of properties sold last year compared to the year before.

The 2018 Salt Lake Housing Forecast showed that 2017 was the third best year for single-family home sales and the biggest ever for multifamily sales. Despite a 3 percent decrease from the previous year, more than 13,200 single-family properties were sold last year. In addition, the median sale price of a single-family house in Salt Lake County climbed 10 percent to $325,000.

Sales of condominiums, town houses and twin homes rose 8 percent for the year, with 4,500 units sold — the most ever, the report stated. The median sales price jumped 11 percent to $225,000, helping to push the total sales value over the $1 billion mark, according to the report commissioned by the Salt Lake Board of Realtors.

Salt Lake City, West Jordan and Sandy topped the list of cities with the most home sales for the year, explained report author Jim Wood, Ivory-Boyer Fellow at the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah. He noted that the rise in multifamily sales is a function of increased demand for affordable homeownership options.

"People can get into that market a little bit easier — particularly for first-time buyers," he told an audience of 800 real estate professionals Friday at the Little America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City. "That’s a market that is really hot."

He said that demand for housing has increased significantly over the past several years and that demand will likely continue through 2018. The median sales price for a home in Salt Lake County has risen 50 percent since 2011, from $216,431 to $325,000 today, he noted.

Affordability remains a potential issue for many prospective homebuyers, he warned. Mortgage interest rates are predicted to hover between 4.5 percent and 5 percent for the year, but that would still help maintain a strong housing economy for the area, he said.

"If we can stay below 5 percent, then we’ll have another very good market again in 2018," Wood said. Rates below 5 percent would preserve favorable housing affordability for another year, he added.

Wood said the perceived shortage of listings is due mostly to strong demand generated by high rates of net in-migration and employment growth than a dramatic decline in property listings. The number of listings is expected to increase in the second half of 2018 as homebuilders ramp up new home construction, he said. Additionally, the past six years of positive equity buildup produced by higher prices should also move more prospective homeowners into the buying market, he said.

As for the potential for a “bubble” in the current housing market, he said today’s situation differs from the pre-recession market in many ways thanks to stricter lending standards instituted following the Great Recession.

"We really do not have a bubble at this point. Conditions are very different," he said. "During the last ‘bubble’ it was the first time that we had consecutive years of price declines. We had four years — 16 quarters — of price decline in the Great Recession."

Today, lending requirements by financial institutions are much tighter, household debt has not ballooned and flipping by real estate investors is not as prevalent, he said. Also, the subprime secondary market has been mostly eliminated and memories of falling housing prices would hopefully serve as a check on “irrational exuberance” over prices, he added.

After six straight years of price hikes, strong demand should drive prices up once again, Wood said, but another year of a double-digit increase is unlikely. Prices will probably increase 7 percent to 9 percent in 2018, he said.

"The median sales price of a single-family home will be near $350,000 and the total value of residential sales will be $6.6 billion, well above the $5.9 billion in 2017," he said.

Twin Cities homebuilders post best April since 2006

Twin Cities home construction is so far showing no symptoms of the Covid-19 pandemic as single-family permits had double-digit gains last month, according to Housing First Minnesota, the Twin Cities homebuilders association.

Homebuilders pulled 474 single-family permits in April. That’s a 16 percent increase over the same period in 2019, and the best April since 2006. 

Multifamily activity continued to drop, with the number of units falling by nearly 50% compared to this month last year, that…
