startribune.com/minneapolis-ca “We've invested in record amounts of affordable rental housing production in Minneapolis, limited rent increases to just 1% for the past five years, and have been credited with keeping inflation way below the national average. … So much of this progress, and our ability to meet future housing goals, has been made possible thanks to the 2040 Plan.”

"Completing this code, and the associated documents, has been a painstaking task of iterative
review and edits as the team worked through over 400 pages of detailed ordinance language,
incorporating feedback from City staff, the community, the Planning Commission, and City
Council." Yes. is hard work.

nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/0 “So long as high-paying jobs are being created in your city, high-income workers are going to move there. If there is no new “luxury” housing to absorb them, they will simply outbid less affluent residents for the housing units that already exist. Thus the less new housing that gets built, the faster rents will rise in a booming city.”

I missed this, good though painful breakdown of the "discretionary" process in San Francisco required to use land. I have heard many arguments recently that no land uses should be permitted "by right" and I think San Francisco is a helpful illustration of how that works in practice sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo

businessinsider.com/america-lo “To make housing more abundant and affordable…we need to upzone many neighborhoods — legalize the construction of denser, taller housing like duplexes, triplexes, and townhomes. Upzoning won't cause the price of existing housing to suddenly tumble, but it will slow the growth of housing costs by meeting demand. It's a necessary, but not sufficient first step in solving the affordability crisis.”
