Roslyn Rise PILOT and APFO waivers pass 3-2. This will ensure that one of #HoCoMD’s oldest affordable housing communities can participate in the redevelopment and rejuvenation experienced by the rest of Columbia. #MDHousing #Housing

Exciting:

I’m about to have a draft of a bill on dismantling exclusionary zoning.

Interesting…

Always amazed at how progressive Mitt Romney’s dad was.

Very, very important steps here. But, let’s face it, the President is only a junior partner on housing policy. If you support these policies, they need help from local and state leaders.

Census Data out today- Howard County’s population grew by 45,000 last decade. Howard County’s housing stock grew by 12,000 units. Any thoughts on why we have an affordable housing crisis?

[HoCo for All @AllHoco]

Today Howard County just put out the “Missing Middle” task force report. It’s a good look at how we can change our housing mix here in HoCo.

Just down the road…let’s not make this a precedent.

Rockville's historic commission says this building should be preserved as historic because it's "representative of 1960s development" with "retail buildings easily accessible by car" https://t.co/wsycNjMDxo

The Bootleg Fire in Oregon has burned 200,000 acres. That’s the size of Howard County (actually the fire is slightly bigger). Puts climate change disasters in perspective…

@gcantori Yes, those discussions are happening. This is a key issue for us, but we really need community input. The next General Plan is evolving as we tweet.

It’s funny ‘cause it’s true.

Beware of self-proclaimed progressives who virtue signal but lack true virtue.

Join us tonight for a fun and engaging conversation on Howard County's budget. If you care about our local government supporting housing (or any other issue), you need to know how things are funded and budgeted in HoCo. 8pm Facebook live...https://t.co/hEL7KU8JeI

[HoCo for All @AllHoco]

This Monday on Facebook Live, join us for a lively talk about Howard County's budget (it's interesting, we promise) at 8pm. Barbara Lawson will tell us about Howard's fiscal outlook and why it matters for everything we depend upon.

[HoCo for All @AllHoco]

Advice- if you run for local office, know what they median price of a home in your community is.

15) Anti-housing policies have real harm. They hurt our economy and hurt families. If we hold HoCo to be a place of opportunity, we need to match that empty rhetoric with action. fin.

1) Hey all. The @uscensusbureau has started to release some really interesting data about Howard County and our region. Let's a take a plunge in the pool (that means a thread is coming...)

[HoCo for All @AllHoco]

14) Looking at the Census data, it is fair to say constraining housing- especially affordable housing- targets two types of people families and immigrants.
