Led by California, cities and states are increasingly turning to so-called YIGBY bills — short for “Yes in God’s Backyard” — to expand their supply of affordable housing. nytimes.com/2024/04/27/bus…
For real. The current SB3202 is already a compromise bill. Any lawmakers who choose to vote against it at this point are NIMBYs who don't take the housing crisis seriously. 😤

‼️THIS‼️ "by spending the better part of the past 60-years preventing our housing supply from keeping up with our region's growing population and economy, we're actually destroying the 'neighborhood character' people claim to be fighting to protect." remainplaces.com/post/resisting…
to all who got that email to their rep yesterday, THANK YOU next up, pay attention to the votes TOMORROW for SB3202 missing middle housing it's simplistic but don't know if there is a better description - we're about to find out which lawmakers are NIMBY or YIMBY

Why is it illegal to build like this in most of the U.S.? Parking requirements and other zoning laws make it extremely difficult to build walkable housing. People-first communities like Culdesac should be the norm not the exception.
@YIMBYTampa Our 2024 YIMBY Activist Award for Outstanding Lead goes to… Damien Waikoloa of @hiyimby! Thank you for all of your hard work to bring abundant housing to Hawai’i and for connecting a community of YIMBYs on the islands! 🤙
#ICYMI @Yimby_Law's Sonja Trauss joined @SenBrianSchatz for a roundtable discussion on the efforts to advance Yes In My Backyard housing policies across the country. Check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=7RUDAd…
Reforming ADU policy to permit backyard homes statewide is the single most impactful housing production policy that California has adopted in the past 10 years. Legalizing them would be a huge win for Hawaii homeowners and tenants. cc @stanleypchang @LukeEvslin

We're glad to see some great pro-housing leadership in Hawai'i from chairs @stanleypchang & @LukeEvslin along with some amazing support from grassroots activists like @WNNProHousing and @hiyimby. Let's keep up the good work and #BuildMoreHomes 🏘️

The lack of urgency on housing in Hawaii, outside of a few tireless advocates, is baffling to me. This should be almost all the state talks about, and radical policy change should be on the table. Instead, even modest ADU and environmental review reforms get scuttled.

@WNNProHousing @stanleypchang @LukeEvslin Thank you @stanleypchang and @LukeEvslin for your leadership! 🏘️🏘️🏘️
Word from advocates on the ground in Hawai’i is if the conference committees on the ADU bill don’t reach agreement ASAP, the bill is dead this year. Sending all positive vibes to chairs @stanleypchang & @LukeEvslin to stand strong against NIMBY pressure. hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/202…
3 stats that illustrate the severity of Hawaii's housing crisis: • Home prices rose 50% since 2017, rents rose 47% • The number of homes grew by just 0.8% per year in the past decade • It's 1 of just 5 states where 40+ people per 10,000 are homeless pew.org/49A5B6W
More affordable homes may be coming to Hawai'i thanks to proposed bills from Sen. @stanleychang and Rep. @LukeEvslin 🙌 @hiyimby and other local partners have been showing up to voice support for the bills! Learn what's happening on the islands 👀: hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/202…
There are two dueling ADU bills in Hawai'i going to conference committee. A very weak version came out of the House. A strong bill from @stanleypchang with all the ADU best practices passed the Senate. Let's get Chang's bill over the finish line. hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/202…
Just a reminder that "community engagement" is only required for projects that the planners in the 1950s who designed our current approval system wanted to sandbag - e.g., dense housing for "those people." It's designed to stall and prevent. It's not about "the community."

The most expensive and luxurious type of housing, the type that almost all genuinely rich people live in, is permitted by-right, with no need for conditional use permits, community engagement, or environmental review. I am talking, of course, about detached single family homes.

The immediate drop off from literal skyscrapers to single-family homes that exists in almost every US city is so painful.

for our zoning reform bill, some established Ds have been loudly against it and have done an extraordinary job spewing NIMBY talking points several "progressive" Ds are already on record with their votes against the bill if you want more YIMBY to happen here, pay attention!

For real. The current SB3202 is already a compromise bill. Any lawmakers who choose to vote against it at this point are NIMBYs who don't take the housing crisis seriously. 😤

it’s almost like “luxury” is just a marketing buzzword and the real reason housing is so expensive is that most of the country is suffering from a chronic housing shortage due to exclusionary zoning
Luxury apts are so crazy to me bc they ARE so luxurious until you get to the actual apartment and it’s like… oh.

Why is it illegal to build like this in most of the U.S.? Parking requirements and other zoning laws make it extremely difficult to build walkable housing. People-first communities like Culdesac should be the norm not the exception.
Here's a special portion from our YIMBY Awards yesterday... Enjoy 😂
Legalize simple, beautiful, mid-block buildings everywhere 🤩
