4/ Milne also points to nine million acres of state-owned land near cities, sitting mostly idle. He argues permitting reform and better land use policy would do more for affordability than restricting STRs. https://t.co/zooDiKSD9s

1/ Zachary Milne argues Arizona's housing affordability crisis isn't what most people think.

[Arizona Talks @ArizonaTalks]

3/ His team reviewed 2.8 million permit records. The finding: 106 separate jurisdictions, each with different codes and timelines, add weeks to every project. In Pima County, permit times have tripled in 20 years.

@JoePitts 3/ Pitts lays out what makes a city great (brand, social capital, beauty, walkability) and contends visionaries need to reconcile density's blessings with suburban reality. https://t.co/YLpiY8OWDM

[Arizona Talks @ArizonaTalks]

1/ @JoePitts argues the Great American City era is ending. The New American City is beginning. Phoenix might be the testing ground.

[Arizona Talks @ArizonaTalks]

@JoePitts 2/ Urbanization leveled off after WWII. Suburbs boomed. Sun Belt cities like Phoenix grew outward, not upward. Now the question: Can you build greatness without a dense core?

4/ His conclusion: Arizona mavericks should reject the shortcut and do the hard work of fixing politics from within the parties. https://t.co/hdsVZmVXkP

1/ Rudy Cota III: ranked choice voting and jungle primaries are a false promise for Arizona. His argument centers on what happened in Alaska.

[Arizona Talks @ArizonaTalks]

3/ Cota writes jungle primaries could silence majorities before November. In a 55% Dem district with five Dems and two Republicans running, the Republicans could sweep the top two spots.
