Anyway every housing policy fight is a proxy battle over who gets to live in your neighborhood and what lifestyles are acceptable.

I simply am never going to believe that being someone who already has a home gives you the privilege to deny others homes

Following the adoption of strict rent control in 2022, St. Paul saw an immediate 79% drop in new rental permits, while Minneapolis (without rent control) saw new permits increase 300%.

Over the next two years, rent growth was lower in Minneapolis (0.7%) than St. Paul (1.8%).

it’s pretty simple: you can either induce demand for things that suck and people hate (traffic), or you can do it for things that are good (bikes, the McRib)
The latest evaluation of bike lane projects in Boston continues to show that if you build bike infrastructure, people will use it.

It's that time of year when Americans set up quaint, walkable Christmas villages in their living rooms, dreaming of living in such a cozy place.

​Meanwhile, they'll show up to city council meetings to fiercely oppose any plan that would actually build that kind of car-lite community in real life.

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Thought you'd enjoy this.

$120k/year to afford the average car.

Gov’t: We will do everything in our power to require families to have 2 cars!

Also Gov’t: you only have to pay people $7.25/hour
AAA estimates the average cost of owning a car is $12,297 a year, and recommends drivers spend no more than 10 percent of their income on car costs. This means you should make 120K to afford the average cost. Median *household* income in the US is $77K. The math just doesn't work.

‘We NeEd SiNgLe FaMiLy ZoNiNg So FaMiLiEs WoN’t GeT pRiCeD oUt!’
When four homes replace a SFH, each new home is about the same price as the original, and at 5 units or more, the new homes tend to be more affordable. But the critical comparison is to the 1-for-1 replacement — a mansionization, in other words.

Used cars are cheap because of new cars. Day-old bread it half price because of fresh bread.

This has been a housing policy post.

The cause of the housing crisis in MA is really that the people who already have houses don't want anybody else to have one, especially not where they have a house.

We fight so hard to protect the neighborhoods we could never build today.

This 4-unit, mixed-use, building in historic Old Town Marblehead sits on a 3,900sf lot (45 units/acre). Modern zoning requires a dozen "exterior" parking spots & a 20,000sf minimum lot size to build today.

I grew up in NYC when crime was much worse, and I never knew anyone who had been hurt on the subway. Then I moved to Maine & became car-dependent. After just 8 years there, I needed both hands to count the number of people I knew who had been badly injured or had lost family members in car crashes.
But let me go back to why I love the subway. I can drive and I’ve driven a lot. I hate it. It gives me so much anxiety. That anxiety IMO is warranted because car accidents are so common and can of course kill and injure you. I’ve been in car accidents and so have most people I know who rely on them
