YES IN MY BACKYARD! (he/him)

Landlords will literally tell you that they only make money when you limit supply:

I was so ready to blame cars for this, but I think it just toppled over on it's own.

[Chicago Bars @chicagobars]

@minc798 Such a whiff not to stack 5 stories of housing on top of there like the Target across the intersection did…

@GovPritzker Have you reached out to @SenatorDurbin to ensure that the coward doesn't vote to increase ICE funding?

[Max Dubler 🏳️‍🌈 @maxdubler]

When you really break it down, there are only two real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate newcomers or start drawing up a list of people to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

[Adam Ozimek @ModeledBehavior]

If we don’t build enough housing it really does make the economy more zero sum. One man’s income growth becomes another man’s less affordable first home

[Anna @DistractedAnna]

It getting harder and harder to live with the fact that so many of my fellow citizens imagine themselves to be my moral superiors

As much as I love @GovPritzker , he isn't keeping it with Hochul.

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Housing. Infrastructure. Clean energy.

When communities say yes, New York will LET THEM BUILD.

There are common sense education reforms that should be applied in Chicago.

[Austin Berg @Austin__Berg]

Brandon Johnson is spending property tax dollars on an investigation into how Chicagoans learned about a meeting to hike their property taxes.

[Cassie Pritchard @hecubian_devil]

I would rather be conditionally-allied with liberals on common-sense zoning reform that makes it easier to build social housing, than allied with reactionaries who think poor people are subhuman and well off neighborhoods should be frozen in amber

[回 @3_under_scores_]

Solomon has proposed following Boston & SF in implementing mandatory inclusionary zoning to create $1000 apts.

Mandatory IZ is outlawed in TX and there's 751 apts in central Austin under $1000. Now try finding a $1000 apt in Boston or SF where mandatory IZ has been implemented..

@dmtrubman I think they could limit the offer it to people that live 100+ miles away.

I don't get why I can't pay $1 to read a single newspaper article. I know the processing fees eat up some of that. But I'm not going to subscribe to an out of town paper to read a single article. They are just leaving $ on the table.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

This is legitimately state censorship. The “free speech” people are really quiet right now.

[Cassie Pritchard @hecubian_devil]

Kind of funny that left-NIMBYism is premised rhetorically on “your policies are bad because they’re associated (in my mind) with the most evil men in the world: liberal opinion columnists” when this is the actually-existing NIMBY coalition, lol.

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

Total YIMBY vindication.
LEGALIZE SINGLE-STAIR NOW!

[Dan Savage @fakedansavage]

Chicago lakefront — which is gorgeous. And one of those 25+ story buildings had to be the first 25+ story building. Build it. (And you, Sir, are not as YIMBY as they come.)

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

[Single stair reform in my backyard 🥑🏗️ @CYimby]

Some of us have been saying this for YEARS!

[Colin Robertson @mortgagetruth]

Jerome Powell on the housing market:

- "The housing market faces some really significant challenges and I don't know that a 25-basis point decline in the Federal Funds Rate is going to make much of a difference for people."

- "Housing supply is low, many people have very, very low-rate mortgages from the pandemic period."

- "And they kept refinancing and caught the really low so it's maybe expensive for them to move.

- "Also, we haven't built enough housing in the country for a long time."

"We just need more housing."

"We can raise and lower interest rates but we don't really have the tools to address, you know, a secular housing shortage, a structural housing shortage."
