Our very own @SonjaTrauss is sharing the importance of YIMBY advocacy and pro-housing policy at a roundtable for @SenBrianSchatz! We love to see it 👏
The big, bad Builder's Remedy is here 😏 And so far we're seeing lots of multi-family projects in high-resource neighborhoods that otherwise would be banned by the existing low-density zoning. therealdeal.com/sanfrancisco/2…
Yesterday, our County Attorneys, along with @Yimby_Law presented the case for the County to purchase La Quinta Inn in Millbrae as #housing for #seniors and #families. A proposed decision by the Judge could come by June 26. smdailyjournal.com/news/local/jud… via @smdailyjournal

“The new measure, reported first by POLITICO, would effectively forbid AIDS Healthcare Foundation founder Michael Weinstein from using the organization’s coffers to advance his political agenda through the ballot.” politico.com/news/2023/08/3…
Huge! Holland and Knight, a member of the @BayAreaCouncil, has won the first Superior Court case litigating the Builders' Remedy, a win for housing! hklaw.com/en/insights/pu…

Great to see that @MarkFarrellSF would also push back on this anti-housing nonsense.
Where do the S.F. mayoral candidates stand on housing? We asked @MarkFarrellSF and @DanielLurie if they would have vetoed @AaronPeskin’s density bill, which @LondonBreed did last week. Find out their answers in our @sfstandard politics newsletter coming this evening…
@CSElmendorf @Yimby_Law @housingdefense Even more interesting to me are the buildings that are being encouraged/welcomed in fear of the status quo set by Builder’s Remedy
We need legislation that prohibits cities from using Housing Element upzoning as an offset for SB330 downzonings. The goal is to create more zoned capacity, not move it around. LA in particular seems to be very fond of this bad-faith compliance.
@kristoncapps Ehhh, that's actually pretty small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. The mass emigration from the city as the empire collapsed and the end of ww1 allowed the city to buy up loads of land for pennies on the dollar and during ww2 a bunch of working age men went off to die.
Any story that highlights the renter's utopia of Vienna needs an asterisk to note that the city evicted tens of thousands of residents from 1934 to 1938. No one ever talks about what that did to supply. Vienna is not a model that can or should be faithfully reproduced

@SFyimby @Yimby_Law Peskin definitely mumbles to himself in the checkout line about how everyone else is “in his way”.

This will be big if YIMBY Law wins. Clarifies that San Francisco’s “housing grim reaper” Board of Supervisors will be defanged. Appeals where planning commission approved projects are “cancelled” by political forces at BOS based solely on “vibes” will be rendered invalid.

HUD is bringing the heat to Chicago 🔥 "'The city’s use of the local veto [of affordable housing] despite understanding its effects raises serious concerns about the city’s compliance' with federal civil rights law." chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2023… ‼️‼️
@louismirante The Coastal Zone is far wealthier and whiter than the rest of the state. The home values (predominantly expensive SFH) are much higher than elsewhere. It’s not good that planners in the Coastal Commission are ideologically committed to keeping mixed-income MFH out of coast.
First, they fear monger about height. They highlight this project and tell legislators that supporting DBL invites towers and their "visual impacts." Putting aside this project will not be built, the Coastal Commission should *encourage* density. sfyimby.com/2023/04/exclus…
Berlin and Minneapolis are comparable because they’re both cities with people and jobs and housing needs. This isn’t hard.
If sam d 1995 were a phd student of mine I would ask why he thinks Berlin and Minneapolis are comparable.
9/ This manifesto mentions "market discipline", but what we're actually missing is real democratic accountability. This would faster drive this tech to be distributed throughout society. To rephrase William Gibson: Wealth already exists, it's just not evenly distributed.
5/ The answer is that specific policy choices by those in power keep the not-so-accelerating status quo going. You know lobbyists, political parties, etc. They aren't letting us build enough housing, deliver enough healthcare, and much more we already have tech solutions for.
4/ We already have the tech for 100% human abundance, but we haven't deployed it. Why? — We already have automated pre-fab construction, but we still have a housing crisis. — We already have amazing & ever improving health tech, but the American lifespan is still declining.
Oh, this is going well for YIMBYs, live in court trying to enforce state housing law.
