Worked the @DotGrow table at Open Streets today, and I have a few observations. First, of the two dozen or so folks that we spoke to walking by, all of them got the message. People are internalizing the fact that demand for housing is high, and supply needs to respond.
Cities let us preserve forest. Fertilizer lets us preserve prairie. Growth lets us live lighter on the land. It was the light bulb that saved the whale.
New paper from Norway: Banning smartphones in school - significantly decreased doctors visits for psychological symptoms and diseases among girls - reduced bullying among both genders - improved girls’ GPA and attendance rates - largest effect sizes were among the poorest kids
If you truly love nature and the environment, make it easier to build near here... to protect there.
i would say this attitude is probably the single biggest barrier to effective urban policymaking in new york specifically and the united states as a whole, we simply can't accept that there are essentially off the shelf solutions for our problems that have been proven elsewhere

This piece by Derek Thompson in The Atlantic, shows how the solution to increasing rents and prices is pretty straightforward: building more housing. We can do that in Brookline! #mapoli #brookline buff.ly/3VPRG9v
This morning, had to get the kiddo out of the house so Mom could rest. Biked from Petworth to Cleveland Park to meet up with a friend at a playground. Kid blasted Encanto on his Yoto the whole way there. We brought his bike on mine but he didn't feel like riding. 1/

In #NewtonMA, on avg. households own 1.6 cars & drive 14,200 mi/yr. In Hopkinton, 26 miles from Boston, where new development is happening, the average is 2.2 cars/household driving twice as many miles, 28,500 mi/yr. That’s 12,500 pounds of add'l CO2 per household. (ACS data)

Me, watching DIY home improvement videos on IG: I could do this project, I'll just do it for a few hours after the kid's go to bed at night Me, after the kids go to bed, lying on my bed: It's not really that important that I brush my teeth, right? I can do that in the morning
My housing production bill is making its way through the legislature, but I’m not losing sight of what’s most important: Oregon needs to build more housing – now.
If you build more housing, rents will come down: sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…
Weird how the law of supply and demand applies to housing too

A Longtime Newton Councilor Led The City’s Zoning Rewrite. Then Residents Ousted Her. “I simply know that we as a city need to build more housing and help our village centers. It’s sad that makes me a villain.” bostonglobe.com/2024/02/08/bus…
"Rents are down, or flat as apartment supply surged to a 36-year high in 2023. The rental building boom introduced extra supply into the market—for the first surplus in a long time—slowing rent growth." sandiegouniontribune.com/business/story…

Built in 1920, this 9-unit Marblehead building on a 3,400sf lot has a density of 112 units per acre. Monday’s town meeting will ask voters to support rezoning just 1% of its total land area to allow for 15 units per acre, in compliance with MBTA Communities. 📍 Marblehead, MA
Did you catch our article in yesterday's @BankerTradesman? With over 160 MBTA communities moving toward zoning compliance, we must look ahead and build a future filled with vibrant, dense, mobility-rich neighborhoods. bit.ly/3w3tF4o

What has two thumbs and researched to find the only bar on the island of St. John with trivia and then dragged his family to trivia there during the family vacation but then sent everyone home happy after delivering the W with a sleeping toddler on his shoulder? This guy.
I've had a really good time growing up with my spouse. We may have lucked out by meeting each other when so young, but getting to negotiate adulthood and the weirdness of life together is worth attempting.
my hot take is i don’t think anybody should be dating until their shit is together. eating healthy, working out regularly, having a morning routine, a spiritual practice, a therapist, financial discipline. things like that have to come first.
Allowing single stair buildings would really help in building more affordable infill developments
New single-stair legislation just passed: Virginia's Board of Housing and Community Development must make recommendations by Dec. 1 of this year! The bill was signed yesterday by Gov. Glenn Youngkin yesterday, and is the first signed by a Republican centerforbuilding.org/singlestair-tr…
Younger YIMBYs should ease up on soft ageism about e.g. Boomers. I'm as guilty as anyone, and there's an element of truth. But I increasingly see older folks hurt by the crisis join YIMBY groups. (And become key allies.) I'd hate for this rhetoric to make them feel unwelcome.
It's okay to recognize that (say) public hearings are unrepresentative re: age, or that our housing policy disproportionately harms younger people. But centering Boomer hate in our rhetoric—especially if there's a YIMBY Boomer present, as is increasingly the case—isn't helpful.

that's right. i believe in - fair wages so you can afford cool clothes - right to housing, so you can store those clothes - universal healthcare so you can be healthy and go outside - dense, mixed-use development so you can wear your nice little outfits while walking outside
