"We shouldn't need mass mobilizations every time leases need to be renewed" seems like a YIMBY argument that would appeal to a lot of renters who don't particularly want to have to worry about housing policy all of the time?

Another big YIKES moment for mandatory inclusionary zoning in Philly: When folks pointed out new development tax hadn't produced a single affordable housing unit in West Philly @CouncilmemberJG released a graphic with units "in the pipeline" except the numbers were just made up?

Very cool YIMBYs across the US are heeding @mnolangray's advice to set up monthly happy hours. But also a bit embarrassing Pittsburgh abundant housing advocacy is better organized than Philadelphia!

NIMBYs using land-use rules to attack churches for trying to fulfill historic obligations (e.g. feeding the hungry, housing the homeless) reflects how zoning codes are an attack on traditional values Should disgust conservatives, if they weren't nearly all actually reactionaries

I really appreciate Councilmember Squilla acknowledging Philadelphia needs to reform how we manage on-street parking, but I'm worried these changes are too modest to have much of an impact, while still going to generate nearly as much pushback as more impactful changes would?

So much of NIMBYism is just making up fake new property rights!

There's a difference between recognizing the barriers to American transit agencies delivering efficient & effective transit service and making a virtue of them.
Simply begging ferry proponents to spend like 10 minutes looking up the tremendous per-ride subsidies these ferry projects require (not to mention the tremendous capital costs). It's amazing how many ways we invent to disrespect bus riders in this country...

If you knew nothing about the United States except this chart of 2024 residential permitting data from HUD, which city would you guess has experienced generations of disinvestment and population loss, and which city would you guess is the center of the world's tech industry?
Local politicians like Mayor Parker (with a base that's very much *not* stereotypical YIMBYs) coming around to understanding new market rate housing will be a big component of achieving abundant housing goes to show you just how successful YIMBYs have been reframing discourse.

"Well if we don't allow local governments to charge ridiculous'"impact' fees on new residential construction how are we supposed to pay for municipal services?!"

More than a third of new rental housing built in metro Philly since 2010 is already affordable for low income households, so the idea new apartment buildings in our region are only going to be for ultra-wealthy is absurd. Imagine how we'd do with fewer anti-housing policies!
If a parking garage used as a bus terminal is unacceptable near a daycare facility, does anyone think a busy parking garage primarily used by non-professional drivers is much safer? Maybe we should close all the garages near daycares, schools, community centers etc.
Imagine looking at this photo of TONS of folks enjoying Central Park over the weekend and still having concerns about the pencil towers "ruining" the park. The NIMBYism against these buildings is gonna be a "did you know?" trivia fact in a few generations.
In the first quarter of 2024 Austin permitted 173x as much housing as San Francisco (2600 units vs 15).

@JabariBrisport “Peacefully protesting”
After nearly a decade in the works, the former PHA headquarters in Rittenhouse is coming down. A 156-unit building with ground-floor commercial and some affordable units will rise in its place, continuing PHA's mission in this prime location.
The point is, these people just do not want to vote for Dems and want them to lose. They will always retrofit a rationale for that reason and blame Dems for not earning their vote. There is absolutely no reason to cater to them. They've basically self marginalized.
There's a lot of wishful thinking about this from the left, that the young people are validating the left's views, but the data is pretty clear here that this is not what's happening and that young people have been irrationally poisoned against Biden since 2022 at least

1st: exactly zero YIMBYs have ever claimed that density is the only reason rents are different in cities vs rural areas. (We merely say that the ability to build density is a factor in city rents.) 2nd: joke, ignore. 3rd: YIMBYs don't say that "developers are greedy" is wrong…

Antisemitic means “anti-Jewish”. Period. Full stop. Elon Musk isn’t an “African American” because we all know what that phrase means because we’re not in elementary school. This itself is antisemitic.
Michael Moore on @CNN: "98% of them [protesters] are not saying anything that's antisemitic because they don't believe in antisemitism, in part, because Palestinian people are Semites." How to prove you know nothing about antisemitism while talking about antisemitism. 🤦♂️

You're telling me unsubsidized affordability mandates don't actually lead to affordable housing construction?
In Feb the councilmember’s office said there were permit apps for 111 affordable homes because of the zoning overlay, but that’s not actually true. I want more affordable housing in west philly and wish they would be transparent about whether this is the way to achieve that

The impact of land use policies of this scale can't be fully assessed for decades. But in just 19 months, our Mixed-Income Neighborhoods Overlay promises to generate 160+ affordable private market homes (and counting!) in areas of opportunity, without halting development! (1/4)

I’m old enough to remember when this “gentrification building” was “only for the rich”. 10 years later and the rent is completely in line with what a 2 bed 2 bath in the Elmwood Village rents for. If you want affordable housing, build it 10 years ago, or build MR now and wait.
Half of all *market-rate* rental housing built since 2010 in Sacramento is affordable at 80% AMI and fully 9 out of 10 units are affordable at 120% AMI. We should be honest that "workforce" affordable housing programs are almost certainly a distraction
Statement on situation at @Columbia: Free speech is a fundamental American right. But the actions of the protesters—destroying property, blocking fellow students from access to Hamilton Hall and other parts of campus, continued use of antisemitic rhetoric—this is harmful to 1/2
the entire university community and can’t continue. Those engaging in such actions must be held accountable. With finals next week and commencement soon after, I urge Columbia to remove students who've engaged in unlawful actions so campus life can resume as soon as possible. 2/2
