"neighborhoods and cities that are more densely populated actually produce fewer per capita carbon emissions than sprawling, spread-out communities" - @urbaninstitute

The data is clear: linking housing with non-car transpo options is a climate imperative.

“There’s no magic lever to fix it all, but one comes close: removing exclusionary zoning and building more housing in cities.” — @GernotWagner

Coming up in less than a week: our conversation with @heidigroover, @JerusalemDemsas and @TheArchitectAce about the future of housing in WA. We're talking about the suburbs, missing middle 🏘, the nexus between housing + homelessness and more.

"Claus says he wants to build more attached townhouses... That's what many first-time homebuyers can afford to buy. But in many places, zoning rules won't let you buy land and divide it up — you can only build one house with a big yard."

West coast cities like Portland have terrible problems with homelessness, yet policy has been ineffective and based on misunderstandings of the problem. A new book underscores that homelessness is about supply (Oregon is short 140,000 housing units). https://t.co/ugZb9HmPYQ

[Michael Andersen @andersem]

Many folks think upzoning = more homes, therefore enough upzoning = enough homes.

As a zoning reformer, I'm sad to say this isn't how it goes.

This is wrong for the same reason 4plex legalization doesn't = immediate transformation of every low-density street.

🧵Lawmakers have released both budgets, and we are incredibly excited and proud to share that many of our budget priorities were fully funded. The budgets include $114 million for the Housing Trust Fund, $240 million for Rapid Housing Acquisition...

[WA Housing Alliance @WLIHA]

Action alert❗️Right NOW is the most important time to speak up if we want to see all key housing and homelessness priorities fully funded. Tell lawmakers to commit to bold budgets that invest deeply in affordable homes and homelessness prevention: https://t.co/kpdxFVSofU #waleg
