Planners plan ahead, especially for Halloween. We've got a list of some costume ideas for us planner folk. NUMTOT fanboy/girl http://www.coolest-homemade-costumes.com Are you in the New Urbanist Memes for Transit-Oriented Teens (NUMTOT) group yet? Well, you probably should be if you like transit and New Urbanism and bike lanes. This can just be a train, or even a transit rider. What completes the ensemble however is that you must stay in character all night and say things like "angery reaccs only for this sprawling neighborhood" and "c o s t u m e b o i". Sanborn Map https://maps.lib.utexas.edu/maps/sanborn/texas.html This is a conversation piece. Show everyone what used to be where you are with the Sanborn Map costume. “This club was once saddle repair shop constructed of wood. Also, the basement was a coffin factory!” Bikelane justinsomnia.org You can add many variations to this one. Instead of this green example, you can make it resemble the bike lanes that you might have in your own city! Unmarked and full of cars who think its a shoulder.  Get your YIMBY Era shirt here Affordable housing cosplayshot.com Dress up like a house, hell even a tiny home. Just be ready when everyone else at the party agrees you should be there, but just not anywhere near them. Sign code violation From Target Perhaps the scariest of all costumes you could choose. The dreaded sign code violation. When wearing this costume you will need to wait to show up until after all the people wearing police officer uniforms leave the party. You'll also need to keep busy and go out of your way to distract everyone trying to have a good time. NIMBY From Reddit Another pretty simple one. You really don't even need the fence. Just go up to people and complain about the noise, congestion, and possible illegal activity at the party. Expect to be removed from said party. Zoning Map Wear a shirt or bodysuit designed like a zoning map, with different zones (residential, commercial, industrial) marked with labels or colors. You could even carry around tiny “permits” to hand out! Jane Jacobs Pay homage to the legendary urbanist. Wear her iconic glasses, a turtleneck, and carry a book like The Death and Life of Great American Cities.
