It doesn't have to be this way. We can fix the mistakes of our past. Now, I don't think the current development is perfect, and I do think the URA should be involved in the redevelopment. But next Tuesday is a development meeting for the lower hill

Weird that Pittsburgh keeps ignoring the evidence. Our bad zoning policies in Pittsburgh killed hundreds of units of new housing in 2023, and we just keep wondering why rents are going up.

Some TOD on today's You Can't Build That Here series - Dover Gables in Shadyside, sitting right next to the East Busway. More great housing that's illegal to build! prohousingpgh.org/blog/you-cant-…
Great pro-housing win in Pittsburgh today, with City Council unanimously agreeing that rowhomes can be built on any residential lot citywide - a great win for affordability. Thanks @bobbywilson412 for the leadership on this critical issue. triblive.com/local/affordab…
Happy to see this pass unanimously despite one councilperson not being fully on board. Congrats to @citybridgesclt, @ProHousingPgh, and @bobbywilson412 for all the work that went into this. triblive.com/local/affordab…
Brightline West - “America’s first true high-speed rail” is officially under construction!
I really hope y'all are paying attention to this because it could very well end with the Supreme Court setting a very dangerous precedent that will allow the criminalization of homelessness instead of, y'know... providing *homes* for the homeless. vox.com/scotus/2412332…
The gap between the rhetoric and reform on housing crisis is so wild. We're in a crisis? So we're suspending arbitrary zoning rules? Doubling permitting/inspection capacity? Slashing fees? No? We're just doing another study and maybe tinkering on the margins with rules? Ah.
I'm very excited for this. @bethanyhallam
Parking mandates continue to prove themselves to be pointless. Pittsburgh should end them immediately. strongtowns.org/journal/2024/4…
Take away the vehicles and give Market Square back to the people.
Great to see @ACE_Innamorato leading from the front. Let's get serious about housing affordability in this region!

Say hello to YIMBY @Innamo! We endorsed County Executive Innamorato's vision for Allegheny County and we're thrilled to see her stand up for a future of "Yes" in our county. We need more housing, and the only way to get more is to stop saying no!

Pittsburgh needs to build more housing. The zoning change allowing for attached homes city wide is a small start. The comprehensive plan is a small start. LERTA is *cautiously* a small start. We need bold action.

A reminder that over 10,000 people, almost entirely black families, were displaced for the Civic Arena and Crosstown Boulevard developments. Our cities didn’t “die” naturally, we killed them.
Logan St and Wylie Avenue, Pittsburgh PA, 1936 vs 2024
@PGHtransit recently spent $2.5 million on upgrading the busway station in this neighborhood with pedestrian and ADA improvements. But the city hasn’t upzoned the land next to the station, so the population density on many of those parcels hasn’t changed in almost a century.
Getting some weird harassment from the yinzer-folk who hate Pittsburgh, despite probably not living there and doing nothing to contribute towards its improvement. Screaming about "illegals" and how the city is a "Democratic shithole" will not solve anything.
Did you know that a modestly-sized townhouse development next to a high-frequency transit station is illegal under Pittsburgh’s zoning code? My first blog post at @ProHousingPgh explains the details and provides a story about my failed apartment search in that very neighborhood!

Weird that Pittsburgh keeps ignoring the evidence. Our bad zoning policies in Pittsburgh killed hundreds of units of new housing in 2023, and we just keep wondering why rents are going up.
it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work
