Why are 398 potential homes for seniors and first-time homebuyers being blocked? NIMBY tactics. 🤡 If this works in LA, it gives cities across the country another playbook to delay housing. Sign the petition and tell LA City Council to stop delaying.👇 actionnetwork.pulse.ly/ungg0g2uca

🎉 YIMBY WIN! 🎉 Berkeley approved 7-story zoning along 2.3 miles of San Pablo Avenue, creating capacity for up to 6,500 new homes. That's a major step toward making it easier to build more homes in one of the Bay Area's most expensive regions. Congrats to all who helped make this happen! 👏🏘️

Should building more homes result in more federal funding? 🏘️💰 BUILD NOW, a major provision of the ROAD to Housing Act, changes how some CDBG funding is distributed based on housing production. Build more → potentially more funding. Swipe to see how it works and share your thoughts below. 👀👇

5 years ago, the SF Board of Supervisors voted to block 495 units of housing on the former Nordstroms Parking Lot. In part, just because it would have cast a shadow. That’s why in partnership with @yimbyaction.bsky.social, I have introduced the SHADE Act, so this will never happen again.

“Okay, but how long does it take?” 👀 The answer: there’s no magic countdown clock, but recent research from Pew found that metros that added the most housing also saw overall rents decline, especially in older units. So no, we don’t have to wait decades. 🏠 What question should we tackle next? 👇

“But those new apartments are too expensive!” We hear this a lot. But building new housing isn't about just waiting for expensive apartments to “trickle down.” It's about adding more homes to the market. When people move into new homes, they leave their old homes behind. That's a moving chain. 🏡
