ICYMI: Huge wins for renters in Maryland! 🥳 marylandmatters.org/2024/04/06/sen…
This is great news. Building more housing is not just about re-legalizing more options. We have to improve the approvals process too. abc7chicago.com/chicgao-mayor-…
Congrats to the Colorado pro-housing coalition that just keeps racking up Ws in the State House this year!
Give us your biggest WINS this week, my dudes 😎
what if we… turned that old abandoned mall… into affordable housing .. aha ha, just kidding.. unless..? vox.com/the-highlight/…
We need much more housing — especially near meaningful gathering places like shops, parks, and restaurants. remainplaces.com/post/gen-z-is-…
Pretty sure this is the first major land use bill to be signed into law in 2024. Lots of bills around the country looking likely to follow behind it!

You shouldn’t have to navigate over 150 unique mayors, city councils, and/or planning commissions to build housing — but that’s the governing landscape in the Twin Cities. MN needs statewide reform that simplifies the process and ensures more housing. minnpost.com/cityscape/2024…
The best time to act on the housing crisis was years ago. The second best time to act is today. politico.com/news/2024/04/0…
The Colorado House of Representatives passed bills to re-legalize Transit Oriented Communities & ADUs today, both by big margins. Congrats to the huge cross-ideological coalition in Colorado & on to the Senate!
There are two dueling ADU bills in Hawai'i going to conference committee. A very weak version came out of the House. A strong bill from @stanleypchang with all the ADU best practices passed the Senate. Let's get Chang's bill over the finish line. hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/202…
I haven’t seen much national or local coverage of Governor Moore’s successful housing package, but there should be! state-level zoning reform is HARD and @GovWesMoore and @jacobrday deserve credit for getting the ball rolling

A very big pro-housing win in Maryland today, in no small part because of the work of @justupthepike & @ggwash, both this year and in the years leading up to it.

Congratulations to @ggwash, their lead Maryland advocate @justupthepike, and all the pro-housing advocates in the Old Line State for this big win. The top priority bill, HB 538, which now heads to the governor, will significantly expand housing options near transit.

Today, a family needs to earn $113,000 to afford the typical home. The median household income in the US is $84,000. That $30,000(!) deficit puts owning a home out of reach for most Americans. We can't wait it out & hope for the best. We need action now. cnbc.com/2024/04/02/hou…
ICYMI: The good folks in Connecticut are making it easier to live near transit. ctmirror.org/2024/03/15/ct-…
When NIMBYs lose at City Hall, they turn to bad-faith lawsuits to stop housing. It's the same playbook across the country. The result: more expensive housing & fewer people housed. ggwash.org/view/92989/bre…

The Colorado House of Representatives passed bills to re-legalize Transit Oriented Communities & ADUs today, both by big margins. Congrats to the huge cross-ideological coalition in Colorado & on to the Senate!
Specifics of CO bills aside, I like “re-legalize” framing bc these building types (and many more) were legal across the country in our grandparents’ generation, but over the last 50-100 years we decided to ban them It’s a relatively recent self-imposed problem with obvious fixes

BIG NEWS: This Monday, Council will begin to consider a proposal to modernize our zoning code. Why?🧵 ✅ Address our housing crisis, unlocking potential for 88,000 more homes ✅ Pivot away from car-centric sprawl and toward sustainable, mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods (1/6)
As Bedford Dwellings is being redone, we need to make it easier to build more housing of all types, but especially public housing.

Passed the House today! My bipartisan parking bill addresses issues with unnecessary local rules for over-paving residential lots, preventing an ADU or addition. 2 parking spaces is the same size as a studio apartment. Build more housing on existing infrastructure. #NHPolitics
This morning the NH House of Representatives passed HB 1400. This bill would change parking minimums statewide to 1 per unit. We’re so thankful for the strong bipartisan support on this bill. It’s good to see all of us working together to address the housing crisis #NHPolitics

after three days of debate, Governor Moore's Housing Expansion and Affordability Act (aka Moore Housing) passes the House of Delegates! it would, among other things, require all Maryland cities and counties to allow more homes near rail stations
Governor Moore's bill that would make it easier to build affordable homes across Maryland hit the House floor this week, and thanks to @DelegateStewart for successfully defending it from several amendments that would have watered down the bill into meaninglessness
