We advocate for smart growth policies that benefit #Raleigh citizens from all walks of life! #ralpol

We need to stop new housing and opportunities in Raleigh and support our elites and local bourbon instead.
Hayes Barton doesn't need townhomes, we need to understand our history and 'character'. They don't belong.

@truthforraleigh
Terrence Ruth a happy mood

Feeling words, thoughts are not stated

A mayor, but for who?

General guidance for zoning: If the project is more than 75% residential and would increase the number of units on the current lot by at least 30%, then approve. Raleigh will grow by at least 200K people over the next 20 years. We need housing. #ralpol

[RaleighCanDoBetter @RalCanDoBetter]

You can't win with some people. Their local strip mall has 'character'. They 'blah blah' aesthetics when new apartments come in. Costs matter if affordable housing is really the goal. Factory built homes? Not a cure all, but interesting. #ralpol

Why do we continue to see 'luxury' apartments, new townhomes and the need for more housing in Raleigh? Professionals keep moving here as yet another survey makes clear. Raleigh should never go back to the council of 'NO'. https://t.co/T2I5aW523n #ralpol Thanks @TriangleBIZJrnl

Jane Harrison hopes to take Stef Mendell's old spot as the queen of anti-housing. Because of our current council these shitty people might have to deal with some diversity and missing middle housing. For Jane, single-family zoning now, single-family zoning forever! #ralpol

[RaleighCanDoBetter @RalCanDoBetter]

As local governments use taxpayers to pay for affordable housing the State of NC spends money on 'job creation' which speeds the gentrification in Raleigh everybody is apparently concerned about.
Less government, less regulation is a better plan for communities. #ncga #ralpol

[RaleighCanDoBetter @RalCanDoBetter]

You won a battle against one Publix, only to lose the war against change and Raleigh's future. We are happy you are still on council. Still fighting, and still complaining about everything new with every excuse you can find. #ralpol

[RaleighCanDoBetter @RalCanDoBetter]

Do we want Raleigh to be able to change and adapt to our rapid growth? Want zoning and development regulations to be applied in a fair manner? Want all neighborhoods on a level playing field? Allow 20 stories and mixed use everywhere ITB. #ralpol

[RaleighCanDoBetter @RalCanDoBetter]

Maybe Nicole has just had enough of non-stop badgering, pestering and complaining from a handful of people? Same people, and always the same complaints. Gotta be sympathetic to the occasional desire to just tell somebody to zip it. #ralpol At least Stef is off council.

[RaleighCanDoBetter @RalCanDoBetter]

@NocapRaleigh We take slight offense to the 'your' label. Other than our appreciation of some good Carolina brews we ain't luxury apartment people ourselves. However, pragmatic and fair people realize change will continue and ALL parts of the city should be flexible and adaptable.

[RaleighCanDoBetter @RalCanDoBetter]

The anti-housing coalition has no policy answers for the 60+ people a day coming to Wake county. Many come from expensive areas like Boston, New York and can afford more than many locals. More housing for ALL across the city and especially north Raleigh is the answer. #ralpol

[NIMBYRaleigh @NocapRaleigh]

When the Emperor promises to show you how to save Padme’s life, you end up with your legs burned off in a lake of fire. When a Gerrymanderer promises affordable housing, Your city ends up full of luxury apartments and gentrification. Turn away from the dark side #ralpol

Today Raleigh City Council voted to dismantle the political apparatus that in parts of Raleigh gives disproportionate power to older, whiter single-family homeowners. The anti-housing group lost the RCC in 2019. Time to find a new path forward. #ralpol https://t.co/FZV2bILWpl

[RaleighCanDoBetter @RalCanDoBetter]

"The 2010s will go down as a decade of historically low housing starts, resulting in higher home prices and rents for some and longer commutes for others." #ralpol https://t.co/JzeX75wcuV

[RaleighCanDoBetter @RalCanDoBetter]

Hopefully our new RCC takes note of the changes we are seeing in places like Minneapolis. The election results from 8 Oct mean we can now talk about how we grow, instead of how we prevent change. #ralpol

It’s Economics! Restricting the Supply of Housing Increases the Prices

WRAL has confirmed @Francis4Raleigh will not seek a #ralpol runoff. @maryannbaldwin is OFFICALLY MAYOR ELECT OF RALEIGH!!! Congrats MAB!

[Travis Bailey @a_Raleighite]

“I refuse to treat him the way they treated me the last two years,” @Nicole4Raleigh says.

Major props to Councilor Stewart. The 5 person #ralpol “Small Council” AKA GNR Commmittee was a poor way to start things last session.

Mourn, but be ready to rebuild bridges.

[James Bledsoe ☦️ @JamesGBledsoe1]

Here is my complete endorsement for @melton4raleigh should a runoff take place.
