We’ve been profiled in the ABC talking about this development in Neutral Bay which has attracted hundreds of objections from local residents. abc.net.au/news/2024-05-0…
Happy circles day to all who celebrate 🥳
Works in Progress covers a lot of YIMBY stuff so at least a few of us will be attending. Come along!

Which councillor is going to be the first to propose this in Sydney?

Small local government areas combined with our electoral systems means that renters are disenfranchised and denied a voice in many of Australia's cities:
Exclusionary consultation practices across our governments and our housing agencies lead to unrepresentative results:
Upzoning is necessary, but not sufficient to solve the housing crisis alone:
We're excited to share our submission to @_EverybodysHome led People’s Commission into the Housing Crisis 👇
Interesting. A shortage of new cars caused used car prices to sky-rocket. Now, more new cars are coming and this is expected to have a chain reaction reducing the price of used cars. amp.theage.com.au/money/planning…
We agree with @AlexGreenwich. They should knock the casino down and build something taller than Crown tower across the water with at least 30% social housing. You could have it done in time for the Pyrmont metro stop to open.

@rakeau @SydneyYIMBY A project I worked on in Mascot the construction cost of the basement, per parking space, was $150k. How many do you want at that price? The net construction cost (ex parking) of a 2 bedder was $300k. This was 2015.
Interesting insights on what happens to common apartment inclusions when buyers get a say. Parking spots are even more expensive in Sydney (est. $50-100K), but in most council areas you can’t opt out due to parking minimums. We should fix these rules! smh.com.au/lifestyle/the-…
How should we allocate housing targets to local areas of a growing city? Over the past few months I've been working with YIMBY Melbourne on evidence-based housing targets for local government areas in Melbourne.... theguardian.com/australia-news…

Hey @DavidColemanMP just got this piece of propaganda in my mailbox (of my 4 storey apartment building). First you got my name wrong. But more importantly, do you hate young people, first home buyers, young families or all of the above? Why would you run a campaign against what…
@MrWhaleCrypto1 @SydneyYIMBY @Sapkots2 renters are residents just like anyone who owns a house in said area
@SydneyYIMBY @liz_greens @DylanInnerWest @TheLeachie To wade in, the fact that community housing tenants get Commonwealth Rental Assistance means there's an "extra subsidy" but only for community housing!
I'm taking advice on housing policy + advocacy from experts, peak bodies, people who have been active on issues over time, and fellow residents who have skin in the game. I will view advice from homeowners active in opposing change with scepticism.
@SydneyYIMBY Wow—what does it matter what age Griffiths was at some other time?! He's a councillor right now. Are younger people not allowed to participate in democracy because the previous generation of decision-makers couldn't get their shit together?
@TheLeachie Sometimes - sometimes parking, height, amenity impact, finite budget - a real range of issues.
@PhilipThalis Planning would never allow that today…Breath of fresh air… zero setback, 10m sheer wall, veranda as articulated element, minimal material change, 1 window type,
@SydneyYIMBY I hate seeing apartments on main roads. Nobody wants to live next to a noisey, dirty highway. Put commercial buildings on main roads, and then build apartments 1 block back from the main road.
So, if you're a wee petite bourgeoise like me and you're wondering how you can contribute to your city, then I can strongly recommend lending your shoulder to civil society groups like @greaterbne and its older siblings at @SydneyYIMBY , @yimbymelbourne, and @GreaterCanberra.
thanks for the invitation, so great to meet all the smart engaged 'young people', who deserve so much more than the same old blanket planning, which condemns them to live on noisy roads and railways @nswdphi A profession without imagination or courage
@AKorSyd @SydneyYIMBY @PeterMcGSyd Thank you for yesterday, Angelo (and likewise to @PeterMcGSyd). Fantastic talk.
Attended my first @SydneyYIMBY event last night. Based on the energy of the crowd and the talent of the attendees I met, I predict great things for the movement!
Looking forward to and a little nervous about presenting this one, with the ever-insightful @PeterMcGSyd! Tonight! Hopefully some engaging discussion to follow; building greater awareness of issues surrounding enabling medium density in Sydney’s Middle Ring. What? Why? and How?
Our first major event this year features architects @PeterMcGSyd and @AKorSyd presenting on how to do medium density housing well in existing suburbs. This is not to be missed! Free tickets: membership.sydney.yimby.au/public/schedul…
@SydneyYIMBY I guess filling out a survey linked on centennialparklands.com.au/mooreparksouth highlighting a need for more parks wouldn't hurt. The more voices the better.
Peter & Angelo have great presentations to share with you - will open your eyes to better approaches to equitably increasing densities, applicable equally to established & newer areas. Combines analysis & project ideas, highly visual & communicable @PeterMcGSyd & @AKorSyd

One of the groups I listened to at Community Cabinet was a women’s shelter proposing a small extension for more crisis beds. They couldn’t get planning approval. You can mock me and act like everything is fine, but I’m unapologetically passionate about more affordable housing.
*unless it’s planning laws and you’re a local community or council - then instead of listening, @ChrisMinnsMP has his Housing Minister shout at them “get out of the way”.
@ToddMorrisEcon I cannot afford to live in Sydney.
It's quite funny launching a book about how planning doesn't affect housing supply from a building with heritage overlays.
Don't forget the Brisbane launch of The Great Housing Hijack is tomorrow at Avid Reader in West End. Look forward to seeing some of you there avidreader.com.au/pages/8979-Cam…
@SydneyYIMBY @clayden_michael Thousands of blocks on the upper north shore train line like this house on 500sqm just 140m from Gordon Station.
@RoohbirSingh @SydneyYIMBY Walking distance to an existing town centre with a train station with express services. Bus available for those who can’t walk. Close to recreation facilities and employment areas. Your remaining issues can be addressed via design and master planning.
@SydneyYIMBY To be fair, Bondi Junction does have a lot of high density residential *and* (thankfully) continues to build more. The issue here is that trading hours are restricted. I know of two kitchens still open past 9PM and nothing after midnight.
