I adore this new video from #OhTheUrbanity that visualizes "density" https://youtu.be/y3XoUBzfXps I think many of us North Americans struggle with what the options actually are or look like. We can have more dense #suburbs without losing the suburban feel. #StrongTowns #urbanism #zoning #housing

Oh The Urbanity takes a look at one critic.

@PeterRobison Focused just on the Boston stat: 2% of "vacant" housing in boston is vacation homes. That's ~5974 units. In 2020 there were 4,021 families in listed in Boston's Annual Homeless Census.

When we look at Nashville's housing crisis, people through a lot of numbers around. This video from Oh The Urbanity! digs into the claims that America has more than enough housing that it needs, and it's a measured and thoughtful look.

For better or for worse, Nashville is a place that people are moving to—not from—and that won't stop any time soon.

Our only solution to housing affordability is to build more housing.
