We built an epic coalition to create more housing in Washington DC - the newest video on the channel features our friends at @Up4Growth @yimbyaction and @HUDgov all singing from the same songbook. Build build build. m.youtube.com/c/howtoadu/vid…
🚲 If you live in Napa, come to this event in October and support biking in Napa County. napabike.org/going-for-gold/ 🚲
I'll be on a panel, but more importantly you've got people who REALLY ride like Olympian @lucaseuser !!
New Mexico is missing from usa.gov list of states

Spending a whole year talking about moisture barriers, just to have the state senate slow roll your legislation at the deadline. :(
I have good news about ADUs this year, but the session is really frustrating in other ways.
We'll push even harder next year.

I am incredibly disappointed & frustrated that AB 1903, my bill to reform construction defect liability, just died in the Senate. Critical components were amended out Friday & it was ultimately held by the Senate late last night — missing the midnight deadline for concurrence.
Rest in Peace, Dolly.
The last time I played one of your songs, was the Napa County Board of Supervisors who were adopting your child literacy program locally.
Even a cardboard cutout of Dolly could make a whole room smile.

Our search results take you to the specific part of the meeting that came up in your search.
So when you search for Darth Vader speaking to San Diego's Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods Committee, you're not WASTING TIME😂

Celebrities say the darndest things: Dave Chappelle scolded village council for making him "audition" for them in fight over housing in Yellow Springs, OH
redtaperecordings.com/m/yell… February 2022
Chappelle seemed opposed in general, but sort of intimates that he wants a private conversation. (Not a great strategy at a public meeting, IMO). The council voted against the upzone, and the developer just built a bunch of single family homes with the pre-existing zoning.

At present, if you build an ADU that is 750 sqft or larger, you're slammed with high impact fees. SB 1117 would eliminate this cliff, requiring that impact fees above this 750 sqft be charged on a per square foot marginal basis—huge for building familiy-sized ADUs!

A Republican candidate for the Massachusetts House shared this image on Facebook this weekend, apparently to oppose duplexes and ADUs.
Housing policy is already difficult to communicate in today’s sensationalized climate. Images perpetuating disinformation like this only serve to manufacture fear and make it harder to have honest conversations about real solutions to Massachusetts very real housing crisis.
ADUs are great - we shouldn't penalize homeowners for building 750-850 sq ft ADUs! SB 1117 removes the penalty on building family-sized backyard homes by applying impact fees only to square footage above 750 sq ft. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

#nightofideas with @kqed was a blast!
People really wanted to talk about housing affordability. I got to rant about all the things that normally get me kicked out of dinner parties. Prop 13, Parking requirements, Land Value Tax, SROs, the 21st Century Road To Housing Act...
"Live Forum" interview, music and film screening with Alexis Madrigal from @KQEDForum and @thaogetstaydown
Big thanks to @e_baldi @erikakelly100 and @KQED for including housing in the conversation - I hope to see a lot of new faces showing up to talk about housing affordability @yimbyaction @WeAreGenH
