An excellent video about Vancouver’s Missing Middle Housing from Uytae Lee and the City of Vancouver.

I'm proud to say I live in one of the rare mid-density neighbourhoods mentioned in the video. The walkability and community feel is amazing. I wish it was available to more Vancouverites.

Arlington County Board passes zoning reform 5-0, ending a decades-old default setting of single-family-home development across most of the county. We're the first locality in the D.C. area to take this needed step. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/20

Looking forward to seeing my county board pass land-use reform to end default single-family-home zoning on most lots--aka YIMBY Ragnarök--sometime this evening. arlnow.com/2023/03/22/arlingto

This is a good editorial in the Washington Post (I don't say that as often as you might think!) supporting zoning liberalization in Arlington and, more broadly, urging an end to the "screw you, I've got mine" approach to housing policy. It ends in an icepick of a sentence: "One San Francisco is enough."

Seriously not sure what the heck Magnolia Community Council thinks the solution to Diversity, Lower Cost Housing, New Neighbors and Urban Forests is except to build missing middle instead of lot line to lot line McMansions.

Cities in the US have this strange problem with a downtown with high-rises and big apartments, then the rest of the city is all single family homes. This is causing a housing affordability problem. So where are all the smaller apartments and N-plexes that could bridge the gap between the single family homes and high-rises?

I just want everyone to know that California seems to rapidly be fixing its code to add the , Bogotá replaced their cops with quite a while back, and in minor irrelevant news, I conserve my letters when I type. That is, if I typed, say, "thing" when I mean to say "something", maybe I go back and add "some" to the start of the word instead of erasing "thing" and starting all over.

TRAFFIC MIMES, PEOPLE. They really work!

Today Vancouver City Staff gave the new Council an update on allowing more (aka ) Housing in low density zones. Where Vancouver was once a clear leader, it’s reasonable to ask why we aren’t going further, faster.

Sure can save a lot of room by not having individual garages & staircases for each unit!

RT @HutchinsMatt@twitter.com

On the boards: a 10 unit target apartment building in Eastlake, . One stair, tiny lot.
