Welcome to Oxford YIMBY - Zoom Meeting this Thurs 27/05 at 6:30 PM - mailchi.mp/2dec06d632c0/w…
Excited to see progress re-aligning political incentives with good housing policy -- one of the defining issues of our time. Hopefully the gov't will adopt this plan and allow cities like Oxford to retain their beautiful and historic character while still welcoming newcomers!

One for @Urban_Turbo @oxcivicsoc ?
Appalling that Oxford built only 130 homes when Barnsley managed to build 1,130 last year. Horrifying. @OxfordYIMBY economist.com/letters/2018/1…
'The noise of existing residents in town and village halls can effectively drown out the voiceless interests of people who would benefit from more housing but aren’t yet fixed to one area.' My reaction after a village meeting in Oxfordshire @OxfordYIMBY notesonliberty.com/2018/12/05/ren…
So last year they gave the city £70k. Not impressed
#roadsforpeople Waiting for @UniofOxford spokesperson to say if any of its £750 million bond proceeds could be used for cycling? bbc.co.uk/news/amp/educa…
Now saying we need independently funded body to make cycling infrastructure happen. Now where could that come from in a place like North Oxford? #housesareforpeople

#roadsforpeople @mragilligan says parking is the third rail of politics. But will he dare say anything about housing need? @oxcivicsoc @londonyimby @cycloxoxford
#roadsforpeople Could North Oxford be even better and help fund transport infrastructure with higher density housing in its own back yard? @LowCON @oxcivicsoc @cycloxoxford @oxfoe @OxLivSts @mragilligan HT @londonyimby

Now a Green Party Blackbird Leys Parish Councillor.The long-term sustainability of the protections of Britains countryside depends upon active strategic planning. Giving up 2% of the worst quality countryside in exchange for robust protections for the other 98% isn't a bad deal and local MP's should stop pretending that it is.
Exactly. "90% of planning apps are successful, therefore planning is not a barrier" is equivalent to saying "20% of Oxford Uni applicants get in, therefore 20% of people could go to Oxford if they wanted"
@AnyaMartin8 @yimbychris Same with “90% of parents get their first choice for their kid’s school”. They don’t apply for the schools they really want, because they know they won’t get in, and then they won’t get their second choice either.
@Joeh_37 @Commuter29 Rubbish HMOs help people live in areas they otherwise wouldn't afford. People trade off space for lower housing costs. HMOs help combat the housing crisis.
@benjcartlidge @profdanhicks It can, in fact, be both. It's a living city, a university town, has challenging housing issues (like every university town) *and* it's a major tourist attraction. HUGE tourist attraction. I don't think this will really be 'Hollywood' per se - but we'll see.
@profdanhicks I don’t know, when I was a kid I used to love going to the CS Lewis house and taking the tours. What makes Oxford a “living city” is also its cultural and literary history, and this could be great.
Ann and I extend our congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. We know both of them as people of good will and admirable character. We pray that God may bless them in the days and years ahead.
@JamesMartinSJ So will our church leaders be discussing the possibility of denying ACB communion or is that topic reserved for Joe Biden? Note: I don’t recommend it be denied to either of them. Just sick of the hypocrisy.
The Americans have chosen their President. Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris! We have a lot to do to overcome today’s challenges. Let's work together!
@girlscouts I am a Democrat AND a women. I thought it was great the GSA was recognizing all 5 women on the Supreme Court. Wouldn't RBG have been pleased with that?
@girlscouts You were fine lifting up these women before. What changed exactly? Be specific.
@girlscouts How are you uplifting women if you can’t celebrate one’s achievements because she dares to be conservative?
@girlscouts Then you should have left your non-partisan tweet up...
@girlscouts So you don’t celebrate the success of conservative women, only liberal women? Noted. My daughter was going to join next year. But now? No way.
@bengoldacre Interested in the responses you get here. I turned up to a village meeting in Oxfordshire last year about some minor planned housing on the edge of Oxford City going slightly in the direction of the village. I certainly united the room: they thought I was a local authority plant
When back in UK briefly, I attended a local meeting in the village I grew up in about prospective new housing in our area. I & 1 other person supportive. The rest of the packed hall of comfy homeowners opposed. Just heard some thought I was a plant from the council @OxfordYIMBY
4/ Kept his railway HQ in Sheffield. 5/ (this is the best one) he knew we'd eventually build a tunnel to France. And he knew it'd help us trade anyway if we used French loading gauge. So he built The Great Central Mainline to French loading gauge. What a hero.
At the NIESR/CaCHE/RICS conference, good to hear Ian Mulheirn agree that building many more homes may be possible, given what happened in the 1830s and 1930s – what’s ‘plausible’ depends on whether we get better policy.
Nigel Lawson, unelected member @UKHouseofLords, domiciled in France 4 decades, tells British pple incessantly that #UK shld leave #EU as "better for the country". Meanwhile, he applies 4 residency 2 remain in France. @EmmanuelMacron pls reject his application. #StopBrexit
