“housing doesn’t get cheaper by distributing scarcity. It gets cheaper by ending it.” I agree with Jose.

I think this is the first time I've lived walking distance from a grocery store and I'm out of my mind about it. I'll walk there several times a day. Oh did I forget to grab something? No big deal I'll simply Walk To The Store

This is why I'm so in favor of accessory commercial units. Just getting people in the US used to **walking** for a cup of coffee or a sandwich in the neighborhood may finally do something to rid Americans of our terminal car brain.

Black text on a white page that reads as follows: 

Too often, homeless New Yorkers cycle from our hospitals to our streets — making it harder to continue treatment and find long-term stability. 

The City's Bridge to Home program in Manhattan ends the cycle by providing a safe place for New Yorkers to live while they receive medical care, apply to jobs, and find an apartment. The program has been a massive success.

Today, we’re expanding Bridge to Home to Brooklyn and Queens, so more New Yorkers get the help they need.

it is quite confusing that “inclusionary zoning” is not the opposite of “exclusionary zoning”, but actually functions as a tool of exclusionary zoning

But the evidence is clear: high-end demand can raise low-end rents, and high-end supply can lower them. If you care about low-end affordability, your strategy must include high-end supply to create vacancy chains and prevent demand cascades. www.buildingabundance.ca/p/housing-la... 2/

A thing that shaped my housing views is spending years living in gentrifying neighborhoods because it was the only place I could afford with a decent commute to my job. You should absolutely respect your neighbors but everybody is just trying their build a nice life and land prices rule all.

Cities are living things and neighborhoods change as newcomers leave their mark. This is okay, even if it is often uncomfortable. The best thing we can do is build a lot of new homes so that new people can move in without displacing long time residents.

this is a bit of an obsession of mine especially here in charlottesville. the cost of commercial real estate is prohibitive if you want to experiment and the city seems categorically opposed to small lots and small units that could allow people to start businesses without a huge capital investment

The next time you hear someone say “we are building too much in Charlottesville and Albemarle,” sharing this information might be helpful. We definitely have not built enough if we are second worst in the country in terms of one measure of commuting rates.

if you ever wonder how Americans became the richest major country on the planet but most of us still feel so poor, looking at what we spend on cars — not just directly but in tax money for infrastructure and space in the built environment — is the answer.
