YIMBYs, a new moment of triumph is upon us!

Atherton, the Silicon Valley enclave that prohibits all but single-family homes, one of the most exclusionary towns in the country, has just received its first multifamily housing project (ever!) under @Scott_Wiener’s SB79!

Get ready for PARK(ing) Day 2025! We're partnering with urbanist orgs and local leaders to take over the parking lots at Dovetail & Demo breweries on Saturday, 9/20.

Join us for a day of great beer, live music, kid-friendly activities, and supporting a more vibrant Chicago!

@StatisticUrban Doesn't surprise me. Have you been to DFW? It's one of the most shockingly empty MSAs in America. Austin, San Antonio, and Houston are all smaller but have so much more going on.

Alderman Hopkins has announced his decision to block a proposed development that would have brought 500 new apartments and a grocery store to Old Town Chicago.

The tower was projected to bring in $2.5 million per year of property taxes for the City of Chicago.

It would have 400 market rate apartments, and 100 affordable units as mandated by the Affordable Requirements Ordinance.

There are many towers in the area with the same height. The proposal fits the 'neighborhood character'.

The city just had its credit rating lowered, and elected officials in wards where new housing can pencil out are busy restricting investment into the city. The inmates are running the asylum.

Actions speak louder than words @AldermanHopkins. You have forfeited your ability to complain about rising property taxes ever again.

@mgaudini Also, Bluesky is better

[Enndubbs @Enndeedubs]

@mgaudini Yikes, sorry to see that. Same thing could happen here next year :(

@AldermanLaSpata Come to Bluesky! You can leave the chuds in these comments behind

Anyone who complains about traffic needs to support transit.

[Enndubbs @Enndeedubs]

@peterlafountain This is the football equivalent of "what bladerunner would have driven"

[Enndubbs @Enndeedubs]

@duns_sc0tus Yes, a famously repulsive aesthetic vision that is somehow also the world's most popular tourist destination.

Multimodal streets mean higher capacity streets.

A notable Chicago demographic milestone: Per the 2023 American Community Survey, there are now 1,179,000 households in the city proper, exceeding the previous high of 1,157,000 in 1960. In other words, >100% of the population decline of the city is now explained by household size

[Enndubbs @Enndeedubs]

@johnarnold @Arnold_Ventures Wow, this reflects a great deal of work. Well done!

Nobody will remember:
-your salary
-how “busy you were”
-how many hours you worked

People will remember:
-how much you took the train
-which trains you took
-if you told others to take the train
