Tempe YIMBY

Tempe “Yes In My Backyard”. Supporting a Tempe for everyone. Fighting for abundant & affordable housing, quality public transit, and walkability.

Tempe has proposed an affordable housing density bonus, allowing developers to build denser and taller in exchange for renting a number of units to those making below a certain income.

We dive into the details in our latest article (link later in the thread).

[City of Tempe, AZ @Tempegov]

Have thoughts about the future of historic downtown Tempe?

We asked Tempe City Council candidates where they stood on housing issues.

Our view is that Berdetta Hodge, Brooke St. George, and Bobby Nichols present the best vision on housing for Tempe.

We’re holding our happy hour tomorrow at 7 PM, come on by!

A heck of a chart: in every single one of the 10 major US cities that built the most housing between 2017 and 2023, rents for older, existing units fell—often by quite a bit.

There are two meetings on this TODAY:

Meeting via Zoom at 12 p.m.

Meeting at the Tempe Public Library, Desert Willow Room, 3500 S. Rural Rd. at 6 p.m.

With these adjustments, the density bonus could boost affordability by increasing both the overall supply of housing and the stock of designated affordable housing.

There is currently a survey live. We encourage you to take the survey now and request adjustments be made.

🏘️You can still provide feedback on Tempe's proposed Missing Middle housing ordinance 🏘️

We think city staff should:
- Expand the Middle Housing Overlay boundaries to allow missing middle homes across Tempe.
- Remove the unnecessary Airport Vicinity Exclusion Area.

[Tempe YIMBY @YIMBYTempe]

On August 4th, Tempe city staff will take feedback on a proposed "Middle Housing Overlay" which would allow Missing Middle homes on single family lots near downtown.

This is now required by state law, but Tempe's proposed ordinance has two big issues.
