Join me at @yimbyaction's first big DC symposium "Housing Abundance and the 2024 Election" with @rmc031 with @voxdotcom and @NeverSassyLaura Tues May 21st. Let's talk politics and housing! Tickets here eventbrite.com/e/housing-abun…
yesterday I published a story about how high housing costs are shaping the 2024 election vox.com/politics/24113… if you're in the DC area in May and want to join me and @yimbyaction's @NeverSassyLaura for a conversation about these issues, sign up here: eventbrite.com/e/housing-abun…
Why don’t Americans feel like the economy is as good as it is? Housing costs are a main culprit! Two months from now @NeverSassyLaura of @yimbyaction and @rmc031 will explore the impact of the housing crisis on this year’s elections. 🏗️🏢 bit.ly/43z5LtW
We’ve worked hard to reform SF’s catastrophic approach to housing — an approach that’s caused explosive housing costs. The Board of Supervisors will vote on whether to back-slide by overriding the Mayor’s veto of an anti-housing proposal. My piece on why it shouldn’t override:
Extremely exciting new bill:
WARNING: Segregation causes brain worms.
Fine, I’ll bite on this analogy. We wouldn’t need this so-called “invasive surgery” if San Francisco did preventative care and built enough homes the last 40 years sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s-f…
Today is the big June 30th fundraising deadline. Please help me get to the CA Assembly with a donation: colinparent.org/donate We need public policy that says "Yes!" to transit, safer streets, and more affordable homes. #yimby #homes
Join us to hear the latest insights from Rep. @MaxwellFrostFL on what’s happening in Congress to help spur the production and availability of affordable housing. Sign up and join us on Friday, July 21st at 11am PT | 2pm ET! bit.ly/43451eq
To be clear, I do in fact want builders remedy.

What do @DavidChiu, @NeverSassyLaura, @anniefryman, @cafedujord, @msgvjopanda and I have in common? Besides believing we need to build more housing, we're co-hosting a fundraiser in SF next week for @JedLeano! Join us: secure.actblue.com/donate/leano-sf
A long list of organizations that should be deeply embarrassed.

This Castro Theater seating saga is such a perfect distillation of San Francisco’s biggest problem: incumbent residents abusing the political process to prevent badly needed physical change and investment in the city because they’re upset that it isn’t 1978 anymore.

watching a lively debate btw @NeverSassyLaura and @kevinklink about where to build housing—and the politics of rezoning: “the question is how many bites of the apple? YIMBYs believe we will get continuous bites at the apple.” #cnu31

A #BadSideoftheBay - Eclipse Permit. Sorry. @SonjaTrauss @NeverSassyLaura #solareclipse thebaycitybeacon.com/multimedia/bad…
As my extensive childhood experience in Sim City can attest to, 😍 transit-oriented development 🙌 is absolutely the way to go for a thriving, equitable, and joyful city. Let's do this! 🚍🏫🏡🚇👯♀️
We need a future that includes housing for all San Franciscans. This past week, I directed Planning to revise our proposed citywide rezoning plan so we see actual construction spread across the entire City.
If you go to cities around the world that are thriving and that are more affordable, they're building housing. They're building up. They're building dense. They're embracing growth, change, and diversity. San Francisco can do that too. But not like this. This definitely ain't…
Last night was my last board meeting as the President of the @uniteddemclubsf one of the best, most hardworking Democratic clubs in all of San Francisco

We were a tiny intellectual subculture @SonjaTrauss & the West Coast women are rightly famous because they founded West Coast YIMBYism *and were the first to start actually organizing & winning*

This was proposed over 20 YEARS AGO and under the leadership of Mayor @LondonBreed it is finally becoming a reality - subsidized housing for teachers and paraprofessionals🙏🏽 Don't forget, it got expedited approval BECAUSE of @Scott_Wiener and his landmark law #SB35 cc: @SFyimby
Big things are happening in the Outer Sunset! Shirley Chisholm Village, San Francisco's first 100% affordable housing development prioritizing @SFUnified educators and staff, is coming along nicely.
yes, an oversupply of housing does indeed benefit buyers and renters. you can call housing "luxury" but that doesn't mean it's actually earmarked for "luxury buyers" or something, if you create a glut that forces sellers to slash prices
luxury housing and an oversupply of it “benefit homebuyers and renters” advanced economic theory with Professor Will Stancil, everyone
@katieporteroc “…and I’d like to congratulate Adam Schiff. We all should rally behind him so a Democrat wins this Senate seat.” Thought I’d help you with this thread and perhaps you’ll learn some graciousness, you bitter Betty.
@uhshanti @hknightsf 2. Progs (and Mods) alike seem to be resistant to the idea of doing actual DIRECT VOTER CONTACT, running a proper field campaign, listening to voters, reacting to what they say on the doors and responding accordingly. Yes on A was not talking to people as far as I could tell
@uhshanti @hknightsf 1. These "unity measures" where everyone agrees on the Prop but the campaign to win it is split in half like a solomonic baby with Jim Stearns and Maggie Muir handling "half the campaign" messaging to each camp is just...bad. It’s bad and dumb. That’s how I feel.
@ramit @SFyimby @yimbyaction 🙌 @NeverSassyLaura is the founder and executive director of YIMBY Action
@NeverSassyLaura @wafoli I suppose its a sign progress that YIMBY activism has made politicians feel self conscious and defensive about bad votes on housing. They used to be just straight up proud of it! 🙃
At a business mixer tonight an attendee heard I had biked to the event and said “I hate bicyclists so much. I would absolutely run you over and kill you if we left here at the same time. You don’t belong on the road.” Two hours later and I’m still processing all of it.
