"What good is a higher wage, if all of it goes directly to the landlord?" #YIMBY #Housing

Nu verkar GC-bron längs Tbanan mellan Gamla Stan och Söder vara väg att inte bli av.
Dags för omtag alltså.
Uppgiften som ska lösas är att folk på cykel ska ta sig smidigt mellan Hornsgatan/Götgatan och Tegelbacken.
Ja, men då löser vi den uppgiften på riktigt!

I'd say its gone pretty well.

Ending minimum #parking requirements was a policy win for the #TwinCities, writes Zak Yudhishthu (Commentary) https://minnesotareformer.com/2023/08/31/ending-minimum-parking-requirements-was-a-policy-win-for-the-twin-cities/ #zoning #yimby #minnesota

The Times’ article makes clear there will be a tsunami of advertising and politicking to influence public opinion on the #FlanneryAssociates project. It’s being couched in all the things that tickle the #YIMBY fancy, but at the end of the day, it’d be greenfield sprawl on what’s currently rural land.

@sj_zero @conservativechris @DrFell @icare4america @itouchu @Kat

Here’s the thing though: a neutered #uniparty #RINO would be a good thing, if he/she successfully implements some #YIMBY pro-growth #housing policies, and maybe passes some symbolic anti-queer law that just amounts to pointless paper-pushing (like #DOMA all those years back).

I’d even turn a blind eye to the #ChristianZionist garbage if the fucking k1kes could stop instigating #race #riots and shut up for once.

NIMBYs ruin everything. In this case some desperately needed daycare spaces.

"It also shows how city-building decisions can be swayed by a relatively small number of people who have the time, resources and desire to fight against change in their neighbourhood."

people who are, very broadly speaking, anti car or probike often toot or boost something like "the average price of a new car is $45,000 !! Cars are destroying us cause they cost so much !!

and there is so much that is wrong with this

1
avg, not median

2
2/3 of all car sales are used cars

3
this is a voluntary payment: you could buy a camry or civic

shrugs

The NIMBYs in MURICA were right, dense development and #bike lanes just ruined Paris. Look at how awful it is :drake_dislike:

@Loukas @Eceni I am member of an #urbanist/ #YIMBY organization that I helped to form in the United States (Rhode Island, to be exact). We advocate for more housing, more mixed-use, more density, and more non-car options: to meet immediate human needs + for climate.

We are trying to scale while maintaining a fully democratic and transparent structure where every activist is engaged, not just a few "leaders."

I am also a member of Climate Action Rhode Island.

Would love to be a union member.

If we're asking, "Do we have so many pickup trucks because consumers wanted pickup trucks — or because car companies wanted to sell them?"

I think we'd find it's mostly because companies wanted to sell pickup trucks. Advertising, product placement, pricing, promotions all shape consumer preferences.

Also, car companies can only offer cheap trucks by skirting regulations. This is why the oversized truck Mike drives in LA is regulated less than every other car driving to pickup coffee in the morning.

Every time I hang out in The Fan I feel nothing but envy. Legalize building The Fan again. #rva #yimby

🚨 Antarctic sea ice retreat hitting a staggering milestone.

If you feel paralyzed not knowing what to do, the most underrated thing you can do is:

Look at your hometown!

i.e. see if your urban environment is sprawled, car-dependent, and hostile toward dense, affordable dwellings, and do something at the LOCAL level. You have more power than you think!

Never to late to consider being an #urbanenvironmentalist with the likes of @zack_subin

yay, decrepit shell of a building at 18th & mission will finally become affordable housing (for educators)! #SFPol #yimby

"The complex would be one of 10 affordable housing projects built or proposed in the Mission in the last eight years, when a slate of projects were funded after demands by anti-gentrification activists...put housing front-and-center"

"Across the country, a lot of good white liberals... sleep every night in exclusive suburbs that socially engineer economic (and thereby racial) segregation by government edict. The huge inequalities between upscale municipalities and their poorer neighbors didn’t just happen; they are in large measure the product of laws that are hard to square with the inclusive In This House, We Believe signs on lawns in many highly educated, deep-blue suburbs."

Too many politicians think that all they have to do is have housing for "below median income," which means low wage workers are still going to be left hanging. Unemployed and part-time workers also need #housing. People need to be open to public housing, not just "affordable" housing. And don't do like they did before where it was all zoned into one area for the sake of white suburbia. And there needs to be public housing for individuals, not just families. #YIMBY #Socialism
