I’m pleased to report that #Austin actually isn’t the largest city to have removed minimum parking mandates. Learn more at parkingreform.org/resources/mand…, where a small band of plucky volunteers is documenting the downfall of these misbegotten regulations.

Every empty, crumbling parking lot is a lost opportunity for community space, green areas, or housing. We need less pavement and more engagement. #EarthDay2024 #ParkingReform
🅿️ HB24-1304, aka the Minimum Parking Requirements bill, will eliminate minimum parking requirements in communities within a metropolitan planning organization (like Denver and its surrounding communities): 2/ leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb24-1304
Even the National Parking Association opposes minimum parking requirements! The Colorado State Senate should pass HB24-1304. weareparking.org/page/land-use-…
Just got one of those “memories from 8 years ago” photo notifications. This was our BARF/Yimby zine in 2016 to explain to local Dem party people how to approach housing supply drama.
CEQA contemplates that determination of what type of review a project requires can be made in 30 days…but here an “exemption” from environmental review required 400 pages of analysis.
400+ pages. "Qualified Infill Exemption. The analysis conducted indicates that the proposed project is eligible for a qualified Infill Exemption"
Somebody's algorithm is seriously messed up.

@AaronGuhreen In everyday conversations at least, I think saying “subsidized housing” instead of “affordable housing” is very helpful. It’s probably the most easily understood term to convey what “affordable housing” means in housing policy.
@tobyhardtospell I’ve switched to saying “market-rate” and “subsidized” housing when speaking with people not as familiar with housing policy. I think that better conveys the important distinction that gets muddled by using “affordable housing,” which has different policy and colloquial meanings.
We really need to stop using “affordable housing” when we mean “deed-restricted low-income housing”. Causes way too much confusion, is abused by bad-faith actors, and in this case invalidated SB9!
It is therefore quite ridiculous for Judge Kin to hold that "affordable housing" as used in SB 9's statement of intent "unambiguously" means "deed-restricted affordable housing." /14
Good news on permitting reform! The Department of Energy is giving a categorical exclusion from NEPA environmental review to: - transmission projects that use existing rights of way - solar projects on disturbed lands - energy storage projects on disturbed lands
