Walmart- 2am.

[mama(to-be) strawberry 🍼🍓 @honeybunwife]

im still trying to figure out what the mythical “third space for teens” is that was apparently 100% free, abundantly entertaining, provided food/snacks and wasn’t educational. people keep talking about this place like it existed but never can give an example of what it was 😭

Walked twelve miles.

Today I walked 11 miles and ate ramen noodles for dinner because I have no cutlery because I can’t prove to Amazon that I’m old enough to buy a butter knife.

Congratulations to @BradBuckleyDVM and @TeamBettencourt on the passage of House Bill 8! 🏫 Their hard work (and that of their incredible teams) made this possible. I’m so grateful for Texans like them working to keep our future bright. ☀️

Austin, TX's rental market has corrected hard.

Asking rents are down 18% in the last three years.

And now, rents are almost back to pre-pandemic levels.

Apartment developers in Austin are taking it on the chin after overbuilding in this market for the last 5 years.

The good news? Austin is now one of the most affordable markets in America to rent, relative to local incomes.

Want to address high health care prices in Texas by improving our health care markets? Have legislative experience? Have a high tolerance for excessive dad jokes? Come work with me at @Texas2036. It's not terrible! https://t.co/TMIuu8U08D

Three bills designed to improve Texas' housing shortage and affordability have just been signed into law.

Congratulations to @TeamBettencourt (SB 15), @SenBryanHughes (SB 840), and @AngeliaOrrForTX (HB 24) on these major wins for #txhousing — and to @egbd27 for representing Texas 2036 at the signing!

@louisakeeler Well now we have to know the book

YIMBYLAND always posts the best single stair concepts.

5) SB 2835 - "Single-Stair Buildings"
- Legalizes 6-stories, 4-units/floor, in TX state building code
- Cities that adopt standard amendments to state building code would by-default legalize 6-story single-stair apartments
- Paves way for streamlined adoption by cities

Visited SF for the first time in many years last weekend, and I found it disappointing that the home of so much innovation and creativity appears to be totally fine that their most populous neighborhood looks like this. Median sale price: $1.5 million.

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

The fact that Cincinnati, Hartford and St. Louis are all building more dense housing than SF is an astounding indictment of a supposed world-class city.

[Emily Dove @egbd27]

You love to see it.

My best friend is in the process of buying a home in Connecticut. Here's what you can get for half a million dollars in the area she's looking.

[Alex Putterman @AlexPutterman]

Gov. Lamont says he will *veto* HB 5002, the broad housing bill proponents say would boost affordable housing in the state.

He says he hopes to see an amended version in a special session this fall.

“Veto to me means we can do a lot better.”

A new study from the @RiceKinderInst says that Houston is becoming more expensive, @TomAbrahams13 reports for @abc13houston.

“We’re getting really close to a time when young Texas families will be unable to purchase a home,” says @egbd27. #txhousing https://t.co/E1VaxqJnkx

[Texas 2036 @Texas2036]

🏠 Next Tuesday, @egbd27 joins "Housing and the 89th Legislative Session," a virtual panel covering what bills passed and their projected impact on our #txhousing landscape.

The event will be livestreamed on all @dallashousingco's social media channels! #txlege

[Emily Dove @egbd27]

There's a joke in here somewhere that if you think our land is being pilfered to build housing then I've got half of Western Colorado to sell you. A truly ghoulish proposal.

[Benji Backer @BenjiBacker]

.@BasedMikeLee is secretly trying to sell 3 MILLION acres of America’s public land for development.

And it includes some of my favorite places, specifically ones in the pictures below.

Americans across the political spectrum are **overwhelmingly** against the sale of our beauty
