Multifamily housing development is shifting to less dense areas, according to new data from the National Association of Home Builders.

As Leslie Shaver explains the Home Building Geography Index in Smart Cities Dive. “The market share of apartment starts in large metro core counties continued a long-term downward trend. In 2016, it was 45.1%. Since then, it has fallen 9.4 percentage points to a 35.5% share, the lowest level since the HBGI’s inception.” The growth is largely in exurbs and small metro cores, as well as rural areas.

The shift could be due in part to rising housing costs and the migration of more people to lower-cost, less-dense areas. “Land costs are one key element driving up costs, so it makes sense that developers would start moving to less dense areas where dirt is typically cheaper.” The percentage of renters over 30 is also at an all-time high of 72 percent, meaning more adults with partners and families are seeking rental housing.

In prehistoric communities across what is now northeastern Europe, decorative ornaments with animal teeth were a regular cultural practice. These decorative ornaments that have been dug up in gravesites of Stone Age hunter gatherers offer some insight into the daily lives of our ancestors. 

How the people in these settlements best removed the teeth from animal skulls has been a mystery. To figure out the potential answer, a team of archaeologists tested seven different teeth extraction methods. The findings are detailed in a study published June 20 in the journal Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences and reveal the two most effective methods. It also demonstrates that daily survival, individuality, and symbolism were quite intertwined in ancient societies.

[ Related: Butchered skulls point to Europe’s Ice Age cannibals. ]

The study centers on the Zvejnieki cemetery site in northern Latvia. Dating back to about 7500 to 2500 BCE, more than 2,000 animal teeth have been excavated from the various graves. Earlier studies focused on the symbolic and decorative roles of these ornaments in burial rituals. Depending on the environment, the teeth of different carnivores and mammals, including bison, elk, reindeer, wild boar, wild horse, and even humans, have been used in these ornaments in northern Europe and beyond.

To determine how the people living here extracted the teeth, the team on this study used experimental archaeology to test seven different extraction methods:

• Cutting– using blades can be used to cut teeth from the animal’s jaw bones
• Percussion–crushing the jaw bones using cobbles and wooden tools to loosen the teeth
• Scavenging/air-drying–leaving the jaw bone outdoors for an extended period of time to soften the bone and decompose the soft tissues to extract the teeth by hand
• Soaking–soaking a jaw bone for several weeks to soften the bone and decompose the soft tissues so that the teeth can be extracted by hand
• Direct heat/fire–exposing the jaw to direct heat from an open fire to dry out the bone and extract the teeth
• Wet cooking–simmering the jaw in a ceramic pot to allow the tissues to detach and extract the teeth by hand
• Pit steaming–placing the entire head in a cooking pit to detach the soft tissues

They found that wet cooking and pit steaming were the most effective techniques. Both allowed for high extraction rates, without damaging the teeth. Using wet cooking and pit steaming also ensured that the meat was edible and the bones could be used to make tools–ensuring that nothing on the animal was wasted.

“Our experiments show that tooth extraction was a deliberate, time-sensitive process embedded in daily life, especially cooking practices,” Aija Macāne, a study co-author and zooarchaeologist at the University of Helsinki in Finland, said in a statement. “This challenges the assumption that teeth used for ornaments were simply scavenged or easily available.”

According to the team, these findings indicate that tooth extraction was not merely a functional task, but served an integral role in broader cultural practices. Extracting these animal teeth intertwined food prep, making personal items to wear, and burial and death rituals. The study also calls for a reevaluation of what archeologists call the chaîne opératoire—or the sequence of actions that are involved in artifact production. A reassessment looking particularly at both ornament making and human–animal relationships could yield more insight into these millennia-old practices

The team hopes that this work inspires further studies into the early stages of ornament production, including comparing prehistoric butchery practices and the extraction of both human and carnivore teeth.

“By better understanding the extraction process, we gain deeper insight into the life histories of tooth pendants—from animal capture and processing, to ornament crafting, use, and final deposition,” said Macāne.

There are fewer plastic bags littering U.S. shorelines, in part due to bans and fees, reports K.R. Callaway for Fast Company. “A new analysis of shoreline cleanup data finds that areas with plastic bag bans or consumer fees have fewer bags turning up in their litter. The research offers some of the strongest evidence yet that regulating plastic bag use makes a difference in reducing the amount of plastic waste in marine ecosystems.”

The study found drops of between 25 percent and 47 percent in areas with regulations. However, “While the data provides insight into how the share of plastic bags found among shoreline litter has changed due to policy measures, an important caveat remains: Plastic litter has been increasing overall.”

According to the researchers, total bans and fees worked better than partial bans that allowed businesses to use thicker “reusable” bags. “The study data seems to indicate that consumer fees were the most effective option for mitigating plastic bag litter, though the paper’s authors say more research is needed to confirm this finding.”

A group of California neighbors is working to eliminate gas-powered appliances, which create harmful air pollution inside homes. The group, the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) Action, formed after residents found out about the risks to public health created by indoor gas appliances.

As Twilight Greenaway explains in Inside Climate News, the movement for “neighborhood-scale” or zonal decarbonization seeks to eliminate gas lines in favor of electrifying homes. The idea has support from Pacific Gas & Electric, a Northern California utility, which says it is willing to “spend a portion of the money it would otherwise use to maintain gas lines to help electrify the homes in the neighborhood that will no longer use the gas.”

The group is working with PG&E to identify areas appropriate for decarbonization. “Once the group chooses an area, it plans to run a pilot project with the goal of electrifying all the appliances and adding solar panels and batteries for up to 80 homes.”

Electrifying neighborhoods at a larger scale “just makes more sense than a piecemeal approach in many parts of the state.” A new California law, SB 1221, enables neighborhood-scale decarbonization projects if 67 percent or more of neighbors agree.

Supporting lower-income residents who may not be able to afford electric appliances is important, Greenaway notes. According to Michelle Plouse, community development analyst for Albany, California, “What will happen if we don’t decommission the gas line is that the cost of maintaining it will continue to increase over time, and the user base will drop as people electrify.”

In the first of a series about smaller homes and housing affordability in Greater Greater Washington, Payton Chung outlines how lifting restrictions on “missing middle housing” and reducing minimum lot sizes can rapidly bring down home prices that are kept artificially high by large lot size requirements. “By requiring a certain amount of land under each house, zoning could ensure that only large, expensive houses would get built.” Reducing or eliminating minimum lot sizes and single-family requirements could “re-create the starter house market,” Chung says.

According to Chung, “Allowing smaller new houses quickly addresses middle-income households’ needs by allowing them to forego things like large yards, garages, or extra bedrooms that many neither need nor want. Smaller houses are also a better fit for America’s shrinking households.” Middle housing such as duplexes and triplexes can cost less for builders and thus less for buyers. “Those lower costs come from both dividing land and materials between multiple units, and building smaller units that use fewer materials.”

Chung points out that the cost of new homes can’t be compared to the cost of older homes that, in many cases, need substantial repairs. But building smaller, “starter” homes can put homeownership within reach for more American households. “Despite a much larger population, the absolute number of small detached houses built in America has fallen by almost 90% over the last 40 years.”

A man from El Paso, Texas, is on a mission to move and fully refurbish a derelict 59-year-old Boeing 727 that he and his brother bought for $10,000. When the massive project is finished, 40-year-old Ismael Lara tells Popular Science that he hopes the plane can serve as an educational tool and visual attraction to bring more excitement to his hometown. And he already has a name in mind: “Hangar Hangout.”

“I really want it to be an attraction, like a destination for anybody traveling through,” Lara said. “It’s more like a passion project if you think about it because it’s cool as heck.”

Lara’s brother first came across an auction listing for the plane last December. The Boeing aircraft had been sitting unused in a hangar at the El Paso airport for nearly 20 years. When it was flying commercially, the plane could seat up to 129 passengers. Its previous owner, a charter company called Blue Falcon Corp, had reportedly stopped making payments for the storage space after its president died in an unrelated plane accident. Before that, according to El Paso Matters, U.S. Marshals had used the aircraft to transport prisoners. The city ultimately decided to put it up for auction in January 2025, with an initial asking price of just $1,000.

“The city of El Paso really just needed that thing gone,” Lara said. “It had been sitting there for so long.”

When his brother showed him the listing, Lara was immediately interested. The two have a history of buying and refurbishing salvaged materials. Their past projects include fixing up school buses, a locker room, and an abandoned barbershop that eventually became part of the airport terminal. But none of those came close in terms of scale or overall cost of what the plane project would require. 

Though the brothers purchased the plane at a bargain price, the real expense would come in moving and restoration costs. Lara says he found out about the listing just a few days before the auction. He did some quick back-of-the-envelope math and estimated they could probably complete the entire project for around $250,000—maybe less if they did most of the work themselves. Even if all else failed, he said, they could probably sell it as a house or Airbnb and recoup the investment.

“We said, bottom line, it’s still going to be worth it even if we can’t make it into something really interesting or exciting for the public,” he said. 

They pulled the trigger. After a couple back and forth bids the plane was theirs for $10,132, including taxes and fees.

Since February, the Lara brothers have been painstakingly dismantling and moving the mid-size jet from the airport hangar to a nearby property they own. Lara says they were racing to complete that part of the process before the brutal West Texas summer took full hold. They’re mostly done now, but it hasn’t been easy. 

Initially, the effort required two cranes, a couple dozen workers, and several large trucks to take apart and transport major sections of the fuselage and cockpit—all of which drove up their costs. The plane’s age and condition have made the job even more challenging. Nearly every screw and bolt is rusted, turning their removal into a tedious and time-consuming task.

But the biggest, and most shocking, surprise came earlier this year while Lara and his team were trying to open the plane’s cargo bay doors. They wouldn’t budge. When they finally pried them open, they discovered seven auxiliary tanks full of jet fuel that hadn’t been stirred in 20 years. Stunned, Lara immediately contacted the airport.

“I sent in pictures,” he said. “I said, guys, you guys had a bomb here.”

Normally, fuel found in a plane can be recycled, sold, and reused. But in this case, Lara learned that the fuel had been sitting for too long to be salvaged and was now classified as hazardous waste. That meant a specialized team had to be brought in to defuel the plane and take precautions to prevent a possible explosion. It also meant they would have to spend significantly more money to empty the tanks. Defueling a plane with usable fuel, he says, costs around 50 cents per gallon. Defueling one with hazardous waste? $9 per gallon.

“It was like $25,000 just in fuel,” Lara says.

The Lara brothers have big plans for Hangar Hangout. They envision refreshing the interior and transforming the cockpit and other key areas into a kind of “virtual field trip,” where kids can learn about aviation. Lara says he plans to install LED panels inside to make the experience feel more immersive. Outside, they’re considering setting up a food truck station. They also hope to invite local artists to paint parts of the plane, offering visitors a slice of Texas culture. 

Though the final form is still being decided, Lara says he wants the project to be both educational and a fun attraction for people who might otherwise pass through El Paso without stopping. In a town that can be somewhat lacking in excitement, Lara says he wants to try and create his own.

When asked what family and friends thought when they began the project, Lara says he kept hearing two questions: “Why a plane?” and “Why you?” For Lara, the choice was a no-brainer. While some saw a derelict plane sitting in a hangar as junk, he says he immediately saw it as an “opportunity.”

“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” he said.

Are we neglecting key data about near-misses at intersections in urban mobility and road safety? An article in Cities Today argues that, while many cities are redesigning intersections to improve safety using crash reports, “one critical layer of data is often missing: insight into what almost went wrong.”

The article posits that paying closer attention to near-misses can offer “a transformative addition to traditional urban traffic planning” and help planners understand dangerous intersections before fatal crashes occur.

According to Cities Today, “To fill this gap, Flow Analytics by AGC applies high-resolution LiDAR and AI-based trajectory analysis to monitor the movement of all road users, including vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. The system observes these interactions in real time, identifying conflict points as they happen.”

Several European cities are already testing the technology to detect and act on near misses. “New technologies are enabling cities to understand not just where people travel, but how those journeys unfold—and where conflicts occur. By capturing these dynamics, near-miss detection helps uncover risks that conventional systems might miss entirely.”

The summer heat is on for millions and no matter your animal species, keeping our bodies cool is critical for survival. Humans seek out shade, water for swimming, and some deploy the uniquely-human technique of “sitting in the air conditioning and barely moving.” Other mammals spread out on the grass or sploot to help regulate their body temperature and keep cool. 

For some turtles, it’s basking or the “Superman pose” that helps keep their bodies at the right temperature and much more. According to Everglades National Park in southern Florida, Florida redbelly turtles (Pseudemys nelsoni) are often seen with their limbs and/or necks stretched out in order to soak up as much sunlight as possible. It appears to work similarly to yoga in humans, with several benefits. It can warm up their bodies, boost their digestion, help make Vitamin D3 for stronger shells and bones, and importantly helps prevent infection. 

Basking helps the turtles dry out their shells, which can keep dangerous parasites from attaching. Ectoparasites–or harmful organisms located on the outside of an animal–like leeches can cause anemia in turtles, according to Canada’s Think Turtle Conservation Initiative. Since being out in the direct sunlight is not a great environment for the leeches, they will go away and leave the turtles alone. 

While you may have been taught that all reptiles are cold-blooded and mammals are warm-blooded, there is more nuance than that in the animal kingdom. Birds, mammals, and some fish (including some living and extinct shark species) are considered endotherms. This means that they maintain a constant body temperature that is independent of their environment. Humans also fall into this endothermic camp.

[ Related: Turtle’s mysterious injury caused by a golf ball. ]

Other fish species, amphibians, and reptiles like turtles are considered ectotherms. As an ectotherm, a turtles’ body temperature changes alongside the environment around them. To help regulate their body temperature, turtles will bask on logs, fallen trees, rocks, and other surfaces in the sunlight with their limbs stretched out. Having access to safe basking sites in lakes, ponds, or marshes is crucial for this reason. Some snapping turtles will try to bask on hot asphalt, which can increase their risk of getting run over by a car. 

Since basking is a completely normal activity for turtles, it’s important to safely observe them from a distance and leave them alone. However, if a turtle shows signs of distress, including heavy bleeding, injuries to their shell, or disorientation, call a local animal rescue or veterinarian’s office and get their instructions on what to do.

Between gnarly storms and brutal heat, power outages have been a common occurrence this spring and summer here in Upstate New York. As a result, my assortment of portable power stations and solar generators have been getting regular use. Right now, Bluetti has just about every portable power station it makes for the lowest price of the season. These have a tendency to go out of stock or on backorder once the storm season really gets into full swing, so grab one now and have it when you need it. You don’t have to be a prepper to appreciate electricity when the grid is down.

Bluetti

This is a great size if you just want to keep[ some essential devices alive when the grid goes down, or you want to take it camping. It’s smaller than a typical cooler and weighs just 22.5 pounds. But, its 768Wh capacity is enough to power critical devices like CPAP machines and fully recharge smartphones, tablets, and laptops. I have used a solar generator this size to keep my internet connection running because the people need deals whether the grid is working or not.

It offers a pair of typical AC outlets, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports. The DC out makes it great for RV living or camping. Plus, this is a newer LiFePO4 battery, which lasts much longer than the older lithium ion models, even with very regular use.

Bluett

If you just want something to keep all of your devices up and running, this compact model is a great way to do it on the cheap. It weighs less than eight pounds and includes a total of eight outlets: a pair of AC outlets, three USBs, and a DC out. It charges up quickly and stores easily with your emergency or camping gear.

Bluetti

This 54-pound model offers a ton of capacity for powering larger devices. Built-in handles make it relatively easy to lug around. There are four AC outlets on the front, as well as four USB ports. Deals on this model only typically last a few days, so if you want one of these for cheaper than its $1,699 regular price, don’t sleep on it.

The city of Raleigh, North Carolina is using a digital tool to improve parking accessibility and solicit feedback from residents and visitors with disabilities and mobility challenges on sidewalk access, ease of finding parking, and more.

“Launched June 16, Voice collects user input when people scan a QR code posted near an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-designated parking space in downtown Raleigh and complete a brief survey,” explains Ashley Silver in GovTech. The data is sent to the Raleigh Parking Division for analysis so that officials can quickly identify and fix problem areas.

“Raleigh’s iAccess rollout follows years of effort to install ADA-designated on-street parking spaces, starting with 16 in 2018 and expanding to 28 today. There were early gaps in their approach, including a lack of firsthand insight from people using the spaces, Howard said, which led to a search to fill that void.”

For now, the city plans to only use the tool for ADA parking, but could expand it to other areas based on its success. “The city plans to review results from the initial implementation phase over the next year, according to Howard, measuring participation and evaluating what type of infrastructure changes or operational shifts are surfaced.”
