I'm sharing this everywhere. If the New York Times thinks we need to build more housing, and do it with upzoning and removing parking minimums, you know this idea has hit the centrist mainstream. Let's go!!!

This is what local control has gotten us. Sadly, Illinois municipalities won't build local housing unless we change the rules statewide. It's honestly heartbreaking to read this thread and see how much housing isn't getting built.
