A lot of wisdom in this post. Definitely felt the same big tent spirit at @YIMBYtown and hoping, as Ryan does, we can keep working to broaden the coalition on important issues like housing affordability, even when we may disagree strongly in other areas. Good stuff!

Drinking a nice cup of NIMBY tears before getting back to work after @YIMBYtown in Austin. Maybe we will host the party here in Detroit next year. @yimbyaction
One of the favorite things we heard at @YIMBYtown was "housing IS a community benefit." This was in regards to a conversation around small community developers navigating the complexities of local housing systems .
Huge shout out to the @YIMBYtown organizers for throwing a great conference.
Huge bipartisan vote on the Yes In God's Back Yard bill in Arizona today. First legislative chamber to pass a YIGBY bill this year.
I enjoyed spending 3 days with experts & advocates from across the county! District 6 has been left out of the conversation on affordable housing, walkability, & public transportation for far too long. Better representation is needed to connect us to city services. 1/2
I had a fantastic time at @YIMBYtown —connected with so many people and got pumped up with knowledge. It was wonderful to see the national impact housing advocates are having in their home towns and states. It does add up!
.@YIMBYtown taught me many things, but one of them was "start tweeting about housing more frequently again."
For months @YIMBYtown was only a plan, but this week it came alive as 600 amazing folks gathered to learn from & inspire each other in ATX. If you feel politics is hopeless, the pro-housing movement is proof we can make real progress working together on a shared vision--join us!
After attending #YIMBYtown 2024, I admit that I have learned some things. I now bee-lieve that we should build more affordable housing, increase density, allow taller buildings, add bike lanes, and create walkable cities... . . . . ...Just not in my backyard! #losers #NIMBY4Ever
A "walking tour to I-35" might not be on a typical tourist's list of things to do in Austin, but we showed some @YIMBYtown participants the downtown scar of a highway this morning. We talked about old East Avenue, the "Reconnecting" Communities program, and TxDOT designs.
Day 3 @YIMBYtown !!! 🤠🐄 📸🤩Featuring Mike &Cheryl on a scooter tour!
Congratulations to @YIMBYtown Co-Mayor @cityjane on an AMAZING #YIMBYtown2024 ❤️🔥
Fantastic close to @YIMBYtown conference with insightful discussions from Mayors of Taylor and Bandera. Grateful for the collaboration and engagement! 🏙️ #YIMBYtown #AARPTX #AARPLivable

Your own solutions wouldn’t do that either. If I grant you every claim you made I conclude that YIMBYism should be done alongside tenant protections.
It’s very expensive to provide roads & transit to people living in low-density, car-dependent places. In spite of decades of inequitable subsidy of the northwest part of the Austin region, people living there are unhappy because the Ponzi scheme isn’t working out for them either.
Back in Austin from DC. I’m at the airport and out of curiosity looked up how long it would take me via public transit to get home. I miss @wmata. When I arrived in DC late last week it was $2.00 and an eight min walk to my hotel. It would take me 2 hrs and 35 mins to get home…
