I get mad at ppl who try to stop new construction bc it’ll hurt “neighborhood character.” But I’m actually more sad for these ppl bc they’re denying themselves new friends, a more diverse community, third places, walkability, liveliness, and an overall higher quality of life
"Neighborhood character isn't homes, it isn't buildings, it's small business owners, it's municipal officials, it's teachers, its firefighters, it's entrepreneurs and doctors and innovators, it's people, it's the people that live in the buildings in our communities." 🤩💯

We just passed HB 2474 which holds cities accountable for violating state law by disallowing & obstructing the creation of permanent supportive housing & emergency shelter. ✅ app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?Bi…
State law is reining in cities' ability to endlessly delay badly needed housing. Belvedere was slow-walking this 40-home project. The developer told the city council that they were considering a 70-unit Builder's Remedy project, after which the 40 homes were swiftly approved.
JUST IN: Affluent Bay Area city approves largest housing development in decades trib.al/5CLgyA6
they dramatically raised the FAR to allow for family sized homes in denser projects. this is a great sign. for a lot that's 5,000 sq ft this means: 2plex: 2000 sf / home 3plex: 1650 sf / home 4plex: 1450 sf / home 5plex: 1300 sf / home 6plex: 1250 sf / home
People are being priced out because we don’t have enough housing. Let’s fix that.
Congrats @seattle_yimby on a well attended "How Can We Build More Homes" #housing event. It was a honor to be one of the expert panelists & have the opportunity to share my experience.
Thank you for your testimony!
