First thing the NIMBYs do on Mars is enact zoning laws to ban this.

This is literally why we can’t have nice things.
This is the garbage we are wasting city council’s time on rather than actually trying to improve the lives of people in Raleigh?

Good news!
Subsidizing demand does not increase supply.

Stopped by Little Native Coffee after early voting. Really cute, infill, neighborhood coffee shop and bakery. We need more places like this across the city. #ralpol

Local politics in Raleigh is mostly about petty grievances. We’ll never be a great city as long as our politicians are focused on meaningless personality conflicts instead of how to build a better future for Raleigh.

Surely, we can elect a city council that can figure how to safely run a parade like every other city in the country has figured out. The folks we have on council now are failing the test of basic functional governance. #ralpol

NIMBYism is a disease.
Raleigh PD has over 900 positions on staff. They city’s police budget has grown by 16% since 2019, up to $124 million this year. And they can’t patrol the handful of blocks in downtown Raleigh without hiring private contractors?

A dire prediction, but this is the path we're currently on. Here's the key takeaway, & every politician should understand this & work to implement: "The only solution is building. Building more. And then building more after that. And that requires de/re-zoning and deregulation."

@adamjhaller @YIMBYRaleigh ...she demanded the environment be protected, as she drove off in her late model SUV.
@MKerleyCode @YIMBYRaleigh Offloading your externalities on neighboring communities is "Off Balance-Sheet Environmentalism". It serves its primary purpose, which is to make its advocates feel better about themselves. As for the environment, it does the opposite of what it is expressly intended to do.
@YIMBYRaleigh Screams a woman driving a very large car, polluting tge air and water of Raleigh with impunity. Surely she is also already housed, so could care less about building more supply for the unhoused.
@YIMBYRaleigh Listen we gotta protect the Raleigh tree canopy by bull dozing the tree canopy of the surrounding rural counties.
“We support development, just not this one.” #ralpol
I genuinely don’t know how you respond to this. There is no constituency for building housing units except the people who will eventually live in them but obviously they can’t show up to a public meeting. There will always be a pro-status quo bias in public comments. #ralpol
Did you see that @RaleighGov did live tweets of the Council decisions tonight? I hope they keep it up. Very good to see the city itself tweeting about decisions. For years us residents have been volunteering effort to do this but can't provide consistency. Glad to see it!
Here's a quick rundown of the December 6 public hearings! AA1. Annual Housing Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2023-24: bit.ly/3h5S4il. A second public hearing will be scheduled in April 2023. | #Raleigh #RalPol
@Mary4DistrictA Diversity of housing choices in ownership! Duplex/micro units and more. And use of city resources that assure long term affordability.
@YIMBYRaleigh The lot to the right of West St is due for a rezoning soon. Asking for 40 stories and residential I believe.
@housingMark @YIMBYRaleigh Raleigh is going to look more like Chapel Hill. Anti reform, structural delays, discretionary profers. You are right Mark, it leads to: 1) more sprawl 2) a further collapse of affordable markets 3) a further corporatization of housing & 4) destruction of incremental development
@YIMBYRaleigh No more pro-growth majority will be bad news for affordability. 😔 People are moving to the area regardless, the question is does zoning allow supply to keep up with demand. To the extent it doesn’t, the lowest-income households will be worse off. (Also creates other problems.)
@YIMBYRaleigh The thing I love most about Raleigh is how the community rejected the old council's spirit of stagnation & fear, & elected an ambitious block that governed on optimism & vision. That's really rare across the South. #Raleigh has something special. It should continue it & expand.
@YIMBYRaleigh I donated that $1,000 contribution to InterAct of Wake County in June 2020. I’m not sure how the other contribution could be considered anti-LGBTQ+ when given TO SUPPORT ME. I’m pretty gay. 🌈
Update! I'm thrilled to share I am working with @DowntownRaleigh as their Planning and Transportation Manager. 🤩 I'm so pumped and humbled to join the team in this new position and can't wait to connect with all y'all to make Raleigh shine bright.
@Jane4Raleigh This stereotype is not accurate. When Durham’s 2019 zoning reforms reduced minimum lot size by 60%, builders were given a choice, & they CHOSE to primarily build smaller housing. Where they could have only built one $1,000,000 home, they are delivering MULTIPLE $350-550k homes.
They ask me to stop watering my giant lawn all day or they would charge me money, and then they let new people move here and live in apartments without lawns?!? GREED!! - Karen
This just shows that NIMBYs will block any type of new housing, including $2 million dollar a piece townhomes #ralpol
