We're so glad you like it!

"Despite the headlines about disgruntled opposition groups hoping to defeat the law locally, or take it down in the courts, the vast majority of communities that have voted on new zoning so far have approved zoning plans, not rejected them."

Rezoning the entire study area would bring parcels into zoning conformity and give owners the right to expand their home, build an #ADU for family members, and subdivide for additional income without onerous red tape

Despite being exempt from the #MBTACommunitiesLaw, @CityOfBoston is doing its part to unlock #housing near #transit through its new Squares + Streets initiative

[Perci PBC @PerciPBC]

Due to downzoning efforts starting in the 1980s, most parcels don't comply with existing zoning.

This means even simple changes, like adding a dormer window to a roof to increase light, require an exception from the Zoning Board of Appeals

🥳Yesterday, the expansion amendments to the 100% Affordable Housing Overlay passed by a vote of 6 to 3🎉 Thank you to Mayor Siddiqui, Vice Mayor Mallon, and Councilors Azeem, McGovern, Simmons, and Zondervan for voting in favor of more affordable homes!

In California, ADU permits increased from 1,200 permits in 2016 to over 25,000 by 2025.

Additionally, 18% of new housing stock in 2022 were ADUs, up from 1% in 2016.

US cities that built a lot of new housing are seeing **quick** rent drops—especially in older and less expensive buildings (>2% in 12 mo!!).

We can have this in NYC (h/t @jamesparsons)

[NYC Planning @NYCPlanning]

@NYCMayor Together, we will build a #CityofYes by creating a little bit more housing in every neighborhood. This is the moment where we will dismantle exclusionary zoning, build the housing we need, and create a brighter, bolder future. https://t.co/7HSarJ57hf

@BostonPlans will be updating East Boston's zoning for the first time in 30 years.

To make it easier to understand the proposed changes, we've built an interactive map that contextualizes them alongside ongoing development activity: https://t.co/tVuq8x4zWP

The city of Boston will update its zoning code — a labyrinthine, nearly 4,000-page document guiding what’s allowed to be built and where — for the first time in nearly six decades, Mayor Michelle Wu said Wednesday. #bospoli
