Executive Chair of Let’s Build Homes. Fmr #BTV Mayor (‘12-‘24). Increased housing, rebuilt finances + decreased emissions. Proud dad, husband + Red Sox fan.

[Miro Weinberger @MiroBTV]

#BTV + Chittenden County, VT could join the growing list of pro-homes success stories — but we need more than a couple good years to make up for decades of under-building.

@SeanLinehan11 @AlexRFarrell I share your frustration that we haven’t solved this. Removing Act 250 from our housing growth areas (Tier 1) is a big step + S325 will help. Now we need a right to build homes in zoning and there is a movement pushing for this. https://t.co/4rkp7JeaIo https://t.co/TBwcR2m9WB

How do you make homes more affordable? You build more

@pewresearch has a new report out showing that over the last decade, rents increased 10.5% countrywide, but in Austin they dropped 4% after a surge of new homes

We need this sustained focus in VT

[Miro Weinberger @MiroBTV]

S.325 needs to include language directing the Land Use Review Board to approve bigger housing growth areas (Tier 1) and the state needs to start the long overdue work of reining in undemocratic, costly, and project-killing discretionary review.

[Miro Weinberger @MiroBTV]

Let's Build Homes is appreciative that House leadership is moving to repeal Tier 3 and the road rule as so many rural voices and we had called for. Completing this will ensure that 2026 is not a year of going backwards on our housing shortage.

However, a lot more work is needed in the final weeks of this session to ensure that we actually more forward on Vermonters' top issue.

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

Unfunded IZ presupposes a permenant housing shortage: the moment rents fall too low to cross-subsidize the unfunded mandate, development stops until rents rise again. It's housing policy pseudoscience.

for low-and middle-income families to build and access homes in their communities.

At a time when Vermont is suffering from an acute housing shortage, Chair Sheldon and her committee colleagues have made an important and impactful decision.

[Miro Weinberger @MiroBTV]

Let's Build Homes was encouraged to learn this afternoon that Representative Amy Sheldon, Chair of the House Environment Committee, announced their intention to repeal the “road rule” and Tier 3. This is a meaningful step forward for housing in Vermont and

[Miro Weinberger @MiroBTV]

for working rural Vermonters that Let’s Build Homes fully supports.

We appreciate that lawmakers listened to our concerns, and to the voices of rural Vermonters and local officals, who spoke to how these policies would have created new barriers to housing and made it harder

Here’s a breakdown of Let’s Build Homes’s Housing Poll released earlier this week

Vermonters overwhelmingly want more homes

On this episode of the APA Podcast, we chat with Burlington, VT former mayor, @MiroBTV, and former planning director, Meagan Tuttle, AICP, to discuss working together to enact one of the nation's boldest reforms to increase housing supply. https://t.co/3sjhVBMPd1

Exciting day at S.127 CHIP bill signing — a major win for Vermont housing. This restores local power to build infrastructure & homes. 20+ towns already preparing to apply in 2026. Big thanks to @GovPhilScott & legislative champions who got it done.

The housing abundance movement is gaining momentum — and that’s good for VT and anyone who thinks housing has gotten simply too expensive.

I joined @WCAX_Darren to talk about how we can lead with smart policies end the housing shortage.

[Miro Weinberger @MiroBTV]

Big win for housing in VT: Gov. Scott just signed into law the Community Housing Infrastructure Program (CHIP)!

As Let’s Build Homes Executive Chair, I’m proud we helped make this happen. Let’s get to work turning infrastructure into homes! #vtpoli

@amiomariam 3) you are right this only works when housing is legal. The State and #BTV have done work on that in recent years, but there is much more to do. Let’s Build Homes is working on that too

[Miro Weinberger @MiroBTV]

@amiomariam 1) developers pay full property taxes under CHIP

2) local government and state board can decide to approve an agreement with the builder that allows up to 75%-85% of the new property taxes to be used to pay for necessary infrastructure costs

[Miro Weinberger @MiroBTV]

Vermont just passed its biggest pro-housing bill ever.

CHIP will unlock up-to-$2B in infrastructure for new homes—without raising local taxes.

Proud that Let’s Build Homes helped make it happen in our first session.

A win for housing abundance. 🏘️

Sometimes national political debates seem far removed from Vermont realities - but the new book Abundance is 100% about us. To thrive as a state we need to become, once again, a place that builds homes
