Existing research finds that new housing construction is usually fiscally net positive. And even in the cases where it isn't, we should probably build the housing anyway :-) A summary of the research + my personal take in the latest Upzone Update: mbtacommunities.bostonindicators.org/is-new-housing…

New Release!🚨🚨 bostonindicators.org/reports/report…
Hard copies of our new report just arrived ahead of Thursday’s release event with @Harvard_JCHS and @Utile_Design. Not too late to register and snag one for yourself! tbf.org/events/2024/oc…
More public $ would be great but the report's last clause is doing a lot of work: "and dismantling barriers to affordable housing construction in local zoning codes." We could fix many (not all) of our housing woes for no public $ through zoning/permitting/building code reforms
We've got a great guest post for the week's Upzone Update on the Milton case from lawyer Henry Korman. Check it out! mbtacommunities.bostonindicators.org/whos-in-charge…
Luc Schuster retweeted
Latest Upzone Update: Analysis of Milton case by Henry Korman, News summaries with links, Calendar of town meetings, Latest compliance counts, Info re. new ADU law + HousingWorks funding. Reminder to send me updates/insights for the next one. mbtacommunities.bostonindicators.org/whos-in-charge…

NEW POST: Is 3 million a lot of homes? Compared to what? Trying to put VP Harris' housing goal into context. marketurbanism.com/2024/08/19/har…
Co-sign. Cities must become much more family friendly. Full stop. But even as-is I think too many give up and move to the burbs, but on net miss out.
Not too late to register for our zoom author briefing on homelessness, first thing tomorrow at 930am... tbf.org/Events/2024/Au…
Tons of missing middle housing and modest starter homes going up in Bozeman, Montana, where we’re visiting for a month. It’s certainly sprawl-y, but also really exciting to be in a growing city with ambition and an eye towards the future.

Hot off the presses! Our first (and probably only) summer edition of Upzone Update This one's a guest post from @nate_stell describing Mayor Wu's Squares + Streets initiative and calling for it to go bigger. Great analysis mbtacommunities.bostonindicators.org/guest-post-squ…
