About to go heads down for the next two days in an accelerator kick off but wanted to give an update ...🧵

First launch of Bucky today ! A first step in many launches to come, but if you're interested in building a home or homes, and are one of the many amazing people that is apart of making that process happen, then check out our first launch of Bucky.

Will be adding more details to this thread throughout the day as I get break. Thank you to everyone along the way.

Great question I hear a lot. Software doesn’t build homes. Builders do. But there is a lot of friction before construction starts: zoning checks, feasibility analysis, land valuation, design matching, and permit preparation. Work that typically takes weeks or months can be done in hours, making courtyard projects faster, cheaper, and less risky to pursue.

Making that information more accessible, improves project viability for all.

@tovihomie Watching 👀

[Democrats Deliver @DemzDeliver]

🚨 NEW: Illinois Democrats just passed the People Over Parking Act, reducing costly parking requirements statewide.

Experts project this will significantly boost housing production and support walkable development.

@TODNewsHub Love housing but can’t we have an in between ? Would rather have a bunch of smaller mid size developments then a 70 storey monster

Let’s get it started

[HousingNowTO @HousingNowTO]

[Toronto, ON] “Building some 20,000 new social housing units in the GTHA while renovating existing stock could generate $49.6 billion in GDP over the next 25 years, a first-of-its-kind report has found…” - @_manuelavega in

Some big updates in this one 👀 ...

[Alicia, Courtyard Urbanist @UrbanCourtyard]

May’s Courtyard Urbanist Market Brief covers updates in the CU platform for courtyard-block development and tracks major housing-policy reforms across stair rules, permitting, ADUs, by-right housing, lot-size reform, density bonuses, and federal point-access-block legislation.

Code is starting to move in the right direction, but better development models are needed to turn code reform into buildings and neighborhoods that are popular and broadly advance social flourishing.

Courtyard urbanism is the bridge between new legal capacity and fine-grained, green, walkable, family-friendly neighborhoods. (link below)
