WF you listening? "But everybody wants to be able to look out the window and see kids playing or walking to school. If young families can’t live here, vitality will be lost, schools will be hollowed out and civic organizations will atrophy."@MonicaTranel dailyinterlake.com/news/2024/apr/…
What if, and here me out here, we worked to redesign our streets around pedestrians so that there were fewer times in which pedestrians/bicyclists were at risk of getting hit. New car technology is great, but wouldn't solve the issue.

Just an FYI on the MAID lawsuit: majority of D’s & R’s voted for these bills. NIMBYism hurts all of us& is not representative of the broader MT public. These bills are foundational for other affordability solutions, and a part of a toolkit towards a more affordable MT.
Whitefish does not have to end up like Aspen, Vail, etc, but we need to change the mountain town playbook to do so. RSVP:docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
When we refer to how folks experincing homelessness are living as "urban camping", it feels like it implies that they have choices. Many do not have other choices. From the Britanica: "the activity of sleeping outdoors in a tent usually for enjoyment." #buildmorehousing
Happy Eart Day. Reminder housing policy is enviromental policy.
What is your favorite housing related book that you have read?
Growth Policy Update meetings in Whitefish. These next meetings focus on neighborhoods. We encourage folks to attend the meetings closes to their homes, regardless of whether they currently live in WF or not. What WF does impacts surrounding communities. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Broadway, Brooks, Russell, Reserve: all poorly-designed, state-owned stroads lined with little white crosses. It’s time for MDT to work with cities and prioritize safety over speed in urban areas. #mtpol missoulian.com/news/local/car…
Meanwhile city councilors on WF City Council were talking about going back to the old ADU law. Go Missoula!

Congratulations to the Missoula-based members of MAID on their great success in getting the Missoula City Council to *checks notes* INCREASE the size of permitted ADU's in Missoula beyond what the challenged legislation required: #mtpol #yimby
And that, friends, is why less restrictive land use policies and generous public subsidies are two great tastes that taste great together. We don't have to pick between Boston's approach or Houston's!

Maybe not so basic after all...
I can't get enough of this high resolution imagery showing 60 years' of growth and development in Montana. So cool! The Berkeley Pit, in particular: landscapeexplorer.org
Somehow the housing crisis, lack of mental health resources, and shortage of services those with substance use disorders are not the villans in this story, but instead one of the only shelters in the Flathead? dailyinterlake.com/news/2024/apr/…
*not a regulatory body... Nothing to see here. Our read of SB 407 is that the continued existence of this committee in Whitefish is illegal.

@DannyTenenbaum @minnervator @bozchron Let's be real though, their homes were effectively subsidized when they bought them.
@minnervator @bozchron The argument *always* comes from people living comfortably in regular old unsubsidized housing. Maybe they've all put 60% AMI deed-restrictions on their homes for future buyers?? 😂
Contrast @bozchron's editorial with this case for zoning reform (for all types of housing) from the "pro-industry" shills at... the American Planning Association. planning.org/planning/2023/…
"No new housing unless it's subsidized" is the go-to slogan for NIMBYs who feel bad about pulling the ladder up. When implemented the results are predictable: inventory goes down, prices & "urban camping" go up. Sad to see @bozchron fall for this. #mtpol bozemandailychronicle.com/opinions/edito…
The housing crisis we face is doing damage to communities across MT. Families can't afford to buy a house and first time homebuyers are forced to consider leaving. Congress must act so Montanans can afford to live in the communities they call home. #MT01 ravallirepublic.com/opinion/column…

@Shelter_WF Please see @Griffen8Smith as this team seems to need help with their definitions of being homeless #unhoused vs. camping which is done for enjoyment.
@Shelter_WF @BusinessInsider @kelseyvlamis please see this definition in regards to your article about #urbancamping in Montana.
Housing shortages are actually housing spillovers. Everyone needs a home. So when we don't build, demand doesn't evaporate—it floods into other neighborhoods, other cities, other metro areas or even whole regions. 🧵
New @MoreNeighbors poll shows building more homes is not only important to voters, but it’s even MORE important than... ◾️Local control ◾️Protecting existing neighborhood character Voters know states need to act so our communities can build more homes. moreneighbors.org/2024/04/23/new…
Listening to the oral arguments in #JohnsonVGrantsPass, here are some of the powerful statements against criminalizing homelessness: 🧵1/?
It takes a $130,000 salary to afford a home and 90% of Montanans are concerned about urban sprawl destroying the character of our state, yet bipartisan reforms to build more affordable housing *within urban centers* and limit sprawl are being blocked by Montana courts. #mtpol
I genuinely believe that if Senator Murphy spent all this energy on legalizing walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods with corner coffee shops across the United States, it would do more to solve this loneliness epidemic than whatever this is (and help our housing crisis, too).
Today Utah Governor Spencer Cox and I are launching a new initiative to build a national conversation to explore the reasons for America's growing unease and unhappiness, and to ask big questions not often raised in politics, about meaning, connection and the common good.
What happens when cities reduce regulatory barriers to building more homes? Just ask @Neighbors4Boise! “The rate of permit applications for ADUs under the new code is nearly nine times the rate of approvals in the year before the new code took effect.” sightline.org/2024/04/15/boi…
"Commuter rail" should be dead... What we need is "regional rail" a system that runs all day, every day, bi directional, consistent and semi frequent service anyone can rely on. People exist outside of the M-F/9 to 5. Let's make transit useful. virginiamercury.com/2024/04/22/com…
