The politics of abundance are winning — from Albuquerque to Las Cruces and beyond. 🏘️ Ending exclusionary zoning and saying yes to homes isn’t just right, it’s popular. Read more → https://t.co/6saWrDIl03

Downtown isn’t just a place on a map — it’s where our democracy plays out in real time. The “No Kings” protest reminded Albuquerque that our city still has a heart. If we keep treating downtown as expendable, we lose more than square footage. Read more: https://t.co/C7jWanIBcD
