California has failed, decade after decade, to undo destructive and exclusionary housing policy that puts the views and asset appreciation of incumbent land owners above the right to be housed of young, new and lower income people. NIMBYism is a scourge.

I think something most people really hate about electoral politics is that the question of who wins and who loses is in fact very important in a way that something stupid like Coda winning Best Picture isn’t.

Not to pick on national media but the fact that every time it dips below 32 degrees Texans need to prep survival kits because of Greg Abbott and the Texas GOP’s colossal incompetence and laziness seems like it should be a bigger deal

Barely a third of the transactions being taxed by LA's "mansion tax" actually involve...mansions. And as much as 50% of the taxed transactions may involve efforts to build more affordable apartments.

The microdata revolution confirms that new, market-rate housing benefits all renters, including poor people.
This study adds to the emerging 'migration chains' literature, which uses fine-grained data to answer the question, 'housing for whomst?' as 'everyone.'

I think a fully YIMBified Greater Los Angeles would grow into a megacity dwarfing Tokyo.

If anything bad happens politically in 2024 it’s because you personally didn’t make or amplify the right posts. We’re one good hashtag campaign away from fixing everything so the world is counting on you.

it’s never easy legalizing more efficient/affordable forms of housing in ATX. proud of our city council for taking this step chipping away at exclusionary zoning

🚨 Austin City Council voted 9-2 last night to allow duplexes and triplexes, by-right, on any lot currently zoned single family.
This comes less than 1-month after Austin became the largest American City to eliminate parking minimums.

The answer: SO great!
Let's stop spending billions on highway expansions that harm our health, accelerate climate change, and waste our tax dollars and invest in rail instead. @rethink35 @RestartLSRD
How great would it be to take a train to see the @Spurs instead of driving on I-35?
Great panel with @JudgePeterSakai at the first annual 2023 Catalyst Summit by Austin Area Research Organization to talk about the future of our Super-Region!

Nobody without millions in annual income goes to Florida from CA because of taxes but lots go because of housing costs. Why can’t they talk about what they are talking about!!!

We're so grateful for this support!

"TxDOT’s pricey project proving unpopular with Council members, congressmen, and regular Austinites."
Great coverage of last Sunday's Wider Won't Work rally!

As it turns out, building more homes gives renters more options and makes it harder for landlords to raise rents.
The median U.S. rent price in October was $1,978, nearly the same as a year ago.
That’s because an increase in new rentals drove up vacancies, making it harder for landlords to raise prices 👉 bit.ly/3Qtj2hr #housing

Gone are the days where we put our heads in the sand and ignore the growth of our City. #ATXCouncil's HOME Initiative will begin modernizing our zoning laws while removing barriers to newer, more diverse forms of housing.
