I’m glad you got to experience it personally, especially with the designers; I hope to some day. I’m not clear on what weird trick you were referring to. Not sure it matters though as I’m more interested in a follow up to this article with “Learning from Seaside.” It’d be great to learn what Andres learned, the “failures”, and to see how other & newer New Urbanism developments have improved on what Seaside did. Of course being a resort vs full time living development, it’s lacking a lot of the resources to raise a family or have an income that can’t be done by computer; probably not easy to do a direct comparison as such. Another spin-off article would be how Seaside could be developed more incrementally, assuming it would be allowed; this is a topic that needs a LOT more fleshing out, especially for greenfield development.
