We put together our best messaging research and road-tested framing for #parking reformers:

New findings show that only 16 US states have most of their #housing within a half mile of #transit. Transit-oriented development can lower expenses, reduce congestion and pollution, and connect people to jobs. Explore Urban’s #data tool for insights. https://t.co/ylmxTD7Nf4

Vacant small lots sprinkled throughout our city could be the answer to unlocking tens of thousands of new units of housing.

The Council’s new Advisory Group on Housing Affordability is working to turn these overlooked spaces into homes — and make a big impact on our city’s housing supply.

Excited about this! To all the #LVT heads and #Georgist friends, take a look:

A new report shows how shifting incentives through a land value tax in Spokane could encourage homebuilding and discourage in-city vacant land speculation. https://t.co/O4cfXjmwOO

A total of 12 streets are being pedestrianized across Montreal this summer, encouraging support for local businesses and bringing outdoor festivities and community building to the heart of the city’s vibrant commercial corridors.

American ingenuity is unmatched.

The future belongs to clean energy. We have the tools, the talent, and the drive to build it.

Trump should get out of the way of progress and let American innovation do what it does best.

[Alaskans for Better Elections @Alaskans4BE]

The power belongs with the voters, not political parties.

Alaskans know it.
And that's why Alaska has open primaries and ranked choice voting.

San Diego is building apartments at twice the per-capita rate of other CA cities, and rents are cooling.

➡️ @PeteButtigieg on how to make Congress more responsive to voters:

“If you could have multiple members per district, you would have a more proportional Congress. I think we should be looking at that kind of reform.”

[Anna Fahey @afahey]

Apartments are the majorly impactful #climate winners right under our noses!

#Affordability policy is climate policy.

[Sightline Institute @Sightline]

Housing—and apartment buildings specifically—may be the United States’ biggest climate opportunity of the Trump era.

[Max Dubler 🏳️‍🌈 @maxdubler]

Confining new apartments to lots facing loud, polluted, high-traffic arterial streets is profoundly inequitable. https://t.co/MeUQ8HhAWO

[Ryder Kessler @ryderkessler]

Housing density is our climate superpower.

Why? Because "apartments are overwhelmingly more electrically powered than standalone houses, they use less land and building materials, and their residents require less transportation energy to go about their daily lives."

[Sightline Institute @Sightline]

Alaska’s #RankedChoiceVoting system doesn’t help members of one party or another—it elevates candidates with broad popular support.

One year ago, the #WALeg Parking Reform and Modernization Act became law. Several cities are adopting reforms well before deadlines or removing costly mandates altogether. https://t.co/s35CaEBZrJ

[Mike Simonsen 🐉 @mikesimonsen]

If we're serious about affordability, we should be serious about the Land Value Tax.

[FairVote @fairvote]

Today, a new congressional map for Florida was signed into law. It's yet another front in a gerrymandering war between red and blue states.

We could end gerrymandering for good with a national shift to proportional representation.

Housing on top of grocery stores has to be one of the biggest no brainers for grocery store chains that already have huge amounts of underdeveloped land.
