SB 684 and SB 1123 allow these sorts of townhouse projects in neighborhoods across California, with lots of new protections.

There's a healthy debate to be had over rent stabilization, but the chaotic, year-to-year changes to this policy in California basically guarantee that all capital (and thus growth) is going to flow to Texas and Florida instead.

When the supply of available homes goes down relative to demand, prices increase. This is one of the best established findings in housing policy, and policymakers who don't center this aren't going to fix the housing crisis.

🚨 Take Action Monday 🚨 SB 79, the biggest housing bill in the nation, is on Gov. Newsom’s desk! It would legalize more homes near transit, cut traffic & pollution, and tackle California’s housing shortage. 📢 Tell him to sign SB 79 today!

Trads watch the Lord of the Rings and fetishize the Shire, not realizing that the entire point of the franchise if that you have to leave the Shire to live a full life.

Given that Mormons are on track to be a fairly small minority within Utah in the near future, I wonder if the LDS would ever resume the practice of encouraging the "gathering" in one place.

I love walking around airports, seeing where all the planes are going. I feel this spiritual appreciation for the infinite possibilities of life, each gate a portal to another universe. Why might I have taken these other flights? Where are all these other people going, and why?

Of the YIMBY era reforms, which can we say with high confidence have directly led to a significant increase in housing production?

Between City of Yes and the (possible) charter amendments, I assume NYC will soon have quite a lot more zoned capacity. The risk to housing production will increasingly be the cost of building and I don't have confidence Zohran can say "no" to any progressive-coded cost drivers.
