While we celebrate our wins, pro-housing work doesn't end there.
We’re rolling up our sleeves for the next phase: making sure these policies are enforced and improved so that everyone actually gets the keys to a home they can afford. 🗝️

Rent slowly drops in North Texas as region builds more housing — but inequities persist
Recent data shows that changing local and state policies are contributing to growing housing stock, but much of it is still out of reach for lower-income renters.

ICE's brutal killing in Minneapolis today is partly explained by an insane loophole in our legal system: Victims can sue state & local law enforcement for constitutional harms, but not federal officers.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Minnesota, acting alone, could close the loophole.

in addition to being depraved, i just got a vision of a 50-year-old rittenhouse still trying to dine on killing two people when he was 17
Kyle Rittenhouse was an honored guest at a 2024 gathering of Oregon Republican activists. This is the monstrously depraved tweet he sent tonight. These are the people who claim to be defending Christianity and “western civilization.”

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

so once again just random ass people did the job of the FBI because they're categorically inept.
The local cops seems to have figured it out after some Reddit post got sent to their tipline.
The FBI was still going all "nuh-uh. Not connected!"

sprawl is an unmitigated environmental, social, and economic disaster
it is no longer affordable (especially when you add in transportation and time)
sprawl is driving climate change. literally.
and it is a ponzi scheme - unable to fund maintenance and replacement costs

Not a single time in this article glorifying the need for sprawl to address the US's affordable housing crisis is there a mention of the vast transportation costs of sprawling living patterns. Nor is there mention of the fact that sprawl is directly linked to disinvestment in urban cores.
America Needs More Sprawl to Fix Its Housing Crisis
The word has become an epithet for garish, reckless growth — but to fix the housing crisis, the country needs more of it.

Pretty much the entire YIMBY movement is built on this premise.
I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

The coalition of LA residents who oppose the Dodger Stadium gondola shut down the Metro board of directors meeting Thursday.
They forced the meeting into recess and demanded that officials at minimum allow public discussion on the project. This is a developing story.
