We. Need. More. Homes. 🗣️

[Coby @Cobylefko]

This is what a $3,000 monthly apartment looks like in Manhattan.

The city has massively failed its people by not building enough housing, and has failed the country too by forced hundreds of thousands of people away who might otherwise want to live here.

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

The American Housing Corporation is so vertically integrated we now have our own truck. This often saves important time getting a needed item faster than vendors and couriers can deliver.

[Zach Klein @zachklein]

Oh hell yeah. Build build build.

[YIMBY Action @yimbyaction]

@FavaMandies Build where we can! 👏

But why not also try to change the rules so we can reduce the costs of building up?

[YIMBY Action @yimbyaction]

We don’t just need more homes. We also need to change the rules that make them harder to build. 🏘️

That takes people willing to show up, speak up, and get involved.

Pretty remarkable recent study which anyone interested in housing should take note of:

Houston reduced its minimum lot sizes to 1,400 sf and the resulting redevelopments produced far higher quality homes, that were dramatically more affordable, than the ones they replaced

[YIMBY Action @yimbyaction]

Must read! 👇

[Wyatt Gordon @yitgordon]

While all eyes have been on blue states, Florida has taken a hammer to local control to build more affordable housing. In this blog post I wrote for @yimbyaction, learn how the Sunshine State has become a leader on pro-housing legislation. 🏗️🏢

If two stairs are safer, why do so many countries allow just one? 👀

The evidence tells a different story: modern single-stair buildings are just as safe as others with two stairs.

[Abundant Housing Illinois @AbundantHomesIL]

So glad to support better leadership in the 32nd ward!

[YIMBY Action @yimbyaction]

@fuelgrannie @m0grady We mean housing that is affordable to lower- and moderate-income households, including income-restricted homes supported by public subsidies.

However, we also need more market-rate housing to address the overall shortage and help make housing more affordable over time. 🏠

[YIMBY Action @yimbyaction]

Ever walked past an empty lot or abandoned space and thought, “Why the F isn’t this housing?” 👀

Well, you might be a YIMBY!

We need more people in the fight to make abundant housing possible, especially as we head into election season.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! 🇲🇽🇵🇷🇨🇺🇸🇻🇨🇴🇧🇷

Let's recognize the history, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities across our nation.

We're stronger when people have more opportunities to make a home, and we’re proud to work to expand access. 🏠

[YIMBY Action @yimbyaction]

@m0grady serious response: why are NIMBYs so bothered by us wanting more affordable housing for our community?

[YIMBY Action @yimbyaction]

👏 Our desire for more homes of ALL kinds also applies to students btw.

[EdSource @EdSource]
