Proud YIMBY. Work: energy. I used to write about baseball and talk into microphones. I like to ride bikes.

.@jamie_rod from @BusinessInsider wrote a great article on my work with @stanveuger and Danny Shoag on the urban wage premium and housing costs. You can read it here: https://t.co/b23flBhmba

Warms my heart.

Which looks more like a city full of life: The before or after footage? Watch @Streetfilms' latest on the death of outdoor dining. https://t.co/wv3Mg0yAIH

[Toby Hyde @tobyhyde]

A tragedy in thousands of acts playing out across the city. You know, City Council could fix this…

[Streetsblog New York City @StreetsblogNYC]

The death of great public space continues as @NegrilBK demolishes its popular outdoor dining space (left in its heyday). Coming soon: space for stored cars that do no good for the public at all.

Steph’s hoodie saying “night night” in French 💀

[Toby Hyde @tobyhyde]

Yes. So nice to see the Daily News be this explicit.

The @NYDailyNews Ed Board on how to make NYC a more family-friendly place: “So what’s the answer? It starts with building housing so there are more affordable places for families to live.”

[Toby Hyde @tobyhyde]

@maxdubler If it makes you feel any better, and it won’t, NYC’s rezoning’s often do this and it’s equally silly

[Jonathan Berk @berkie1]

“Building more of every kind of housing — single family homes, apartments and mixed-use buildings — will expand supply and lower costs.”

"We’re debasing ourselves as a legislative body to provide cover to a clueless governor," one source in the Assembly told @HellGateNY. "Congestion pricing is a law & you can’t just ignore it because a poll made you nervous. What are we even doing here?" https://t.co/Nd2Rv5ni3Z

[Toby Hyde @tobyhyde]

@bradhoylman So is this your way of saying you now support congestion pricing?

[Toby Hyde @tobyhyde]

@tonysimone @LizKrueger @RepJerryNadler Thank you!!

[Dana Rubinstein @danarubinstein]

Not sure I've ever seen a more scathing comment from the normally staid Independent Budget Office

[Toby Hyde @tobyhyde]

Still true at 11:13.

Live people are still picking up at @CarlHeastie's office (if only to transfer you to voicemail). 518-455-3791
#CongestionPricingNow! The legislature shouldn't bail out #CongestionKathy's debacle.

[Toby Hyde @tobyhyde]

@jessicaramosqns Thank you.

[Toby Hyde @tobyhyde]

@Bobby4Brooklyn Thank you!

[Jesse D. Jenkins @JesseJenkins]

I can't think of a single policy priority today that would more effectively address economic insecurity, inequality, and climate change all at once than a major effort to build more (and denser) housing in America.

[Toby Hyde @tobyhyde]

@michaelgbaron @robertbrender @matthewcerrone @AVRBNY I like it. I’m in. + @OGTedBerg ?

[Toby Hyde @tobyhyde]

Yes. Also, yes.

[Chi Ossé @OsseChi]

People are being priced out because we don’t have enough housing. Let’s fix that.

[Toby Hyde @tobyhyde]

Seems like a really good way to hurt people.

SCOOP: City Hall orders non-profit shelter operators and homeless services providers make cuts to already approved budgets/contracts. Suggestions in memo sent by DHS include increasing case loads, slashing weekend/evening hours, 'consolidating' staff --
