Mostly Portland, sometimes LA. Former BigLaw attorney, radicalized at YIMBY training camps, want the best future for my kids.

@CaseyBerk @stan_okl There is a much higher concentration of greedisol particles in the California water supply than in other locations. It's science.

.@CityPortland’s 2024 Housing Report confirms what many feared: raising IZ from 10% to 25% in 2021 didn’t spark affordability — it torched production.

From 900+ units in 2021 to barely a trickle since. Inclusionary zoning with exclusionary results.

@VeniceIntel @lacontroller Those families having parking is better than other families having housing, great point!

@ChrisByBike Michael Weinstein furiously trying to figure out how much of AHF's funding he can use to donate to her opponents in the election cycle without running afoul of non-profit regulations.

@esotouric @PropertyMan219 @Mishka__1 Why do more people living near you make your housing "objectively worse"?

Have you considered that, unlike you, many people aren't fusty misanthropes and don't actually mind new neighbors?

[Kool-Aid Man to Invisible Walls @EmoJeb]

@esotouric @KortsaOrlong @Mishka__1 If making more "vacant" units available would "move the needle," that gives the game away on your objection to new development, which makes more vacant units for rent.

You're obviously just opposed to any change that would impact your tours and personal nostalgia. So lame.

@esotouric Y'all "preserve a defunct gas station to block housing" people are the absolute worst.

It's going to be wild when the hated insurance industry turns out to be the actual driving force behind climate policies, urban density, and car-free living (at least lower uptake of SUVs due to increased risk), because their actuaries don't fuck around. https://t.co/NpgYot37L5

@Cosby @Chan_man0 @ShadowyZephyr @yhdistyminen They must be really fucking stupid then, since their actions in the context of housing policy consistently enable even greater rent extraction due to lack of new housing supply.

@patsweetpat @ArmandDoma @AbundantHousing The water in Texas has much lower rates of naturally occurring greedisol molecules.

@Michael44856350 @mateosfo Food advocates should note that in a lot of supermarkets, new boxes of cereal sometimes sit on the shelf, unconsumed, for up to a month before someone buys them.

For this reason, nobody should advocate for the production of more cereal, or food generally.

How many hipsters does it take to change a lightbulb?

It's an obscure number, you probably haven't heard of it.

Everything hipsters were into 15 years ago went mainstream. You can buy raw denim at Uniqlo. Target has vinyl records. Your corner store has craft beer. Right wing chuds dress like urban lesbians and graphic designers did in 2010. Everyone drinks fancy coffee now. They won.
