Graphic flyer with a light blue and warm orange abstract background. Large heading reads “Public Comment Workshop.” Subheading says, “Want to speak at City Council—but not sure what to say? We’ve got you covered.” Text explains that the Public Comment Workshop will teach how to give a clear, effective 1–2 minute comment on the proposed IDO zoning updates. Event details are listed: Sunday, January 11, from 2:00–3:00 PM, held virtually via Google Meet, with the meeting link shown. A note at the bottom reads, “No expertise required. Just care about Albuquerque’s future.” On the right side is an illustration of a person standing at a podium with a microphone, symbolizing public speaking. A callout box reads, “Let’s Lift the Ban on Homes!”
Graphic with the same light blue and orange abstract background. Large heading reads, “Your voice matters at City Council.” Supporting text says that showing up and sharing your housing story is impactful, and that public comment is one of the most powerful ways residents shape decisions about housing, neighborhoods, and the city’s future. Public hearing details are listed: Wednesday, January 14, and Wednesday, January 28, both at 5:00 PM, held at Albuquerque City Council Chambers and via Zoom. Text notes that public comment will be taken at both hearings. A decorative box highlights housing priorities including duplexes, townhomes, cottages, safe outdoor spaces, and bodegas. An illustration of a city council chamber audience appears at the bottom. Closing text reads, “Showing up makes a difference and you don’t have to do it alone.”
Showing up matters.
Join our Public Comment Workshop to feel confident sharing your housing story at City Council and supporting homes Albuquerquers can afford.

Neat. #LegalizeHousing
@mayor.lacity.gov hasn’t posted about her opposition to SB 79 but she does promote wonderful community resources like the LA Public Library.
More people should be allowed to live near libraries IMO #legalizehousing #bookorienteddevelopment #morehomesmorebooks
CHICAGO - A disused one-story commercial building and parking lot, 2652 W. Chicago Ave.
This is what “community meeting” attendees in the 36th Ward want their neighborhood to look like.

The lawsuit also claims the zoning process lacked community participation. This is ludicrous; there were at least nine public meetings, with many residents of the plaintiff building in attendance.

SPRINGFIELD, Illinois - Housing activist Ben Wolfenstein with Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker at the Capitol, April 30, 2025.
I always say: You can’t work the room if you’re not in it. This is why we go to Springfield - you never know who you might see.
Our Ben Wolfenstein with J.B. at the Capitol April 30. @abundanthousingil.bsky.social #LegalizeHousing
I mean, shit, I’m waiting for the bus to get back home and I’m running into single story tax prep commercial buildings and surface level gas stations.
THIS COULD BE HOUSING!
Support #FamilyZoning, help us #LegalizeHousing this fall and let’s make San Francisco thrive with new neighbors!
And finally:
3. Take time off next Thursday, April 10th & join us at City Hall for the SF Planning hearing, the first public opportunity to loudly champion this bold effort to legalize apartments on the western side of SF:

#FamilyHousingDay #LegalizeHousing
We know that to build a future where people are not locked out because the rent is too damn high…
To build a city where you can work hard and make a life for yourself here…
To ensure that the next generation has MORE opportunity to thrive and not just survive
We gotta #LegalizeHousing
Love how this sweater consistently keeps getting me random compliments from people walking past me on the street:
“Love your sweater”
“Great sweater dude”
Were the two I got today 💙 @sfyimby.bsky.social @yimbyaction.bsky.social

Some supporters criticize entire public comment process, as it seems to lead to negotiation down from what city planners might otherwise approve. Why is this TOD proposal 3.5 stories, instead of at least 6 given more than 37,000 households on BHA waiting lists?

"We cannot allow hyper-local opposition to new developments, voiced by a small percentage of securely established homeowners, to delay a meaningful increase in our housing supply" #LegalizeHousing #HousingForAll

Today I applied to be considered for appointment to Boston's Zoning Board of Appeals on the basis of my time as an Asst Attorney General in the AGO's Administrative Law Division & my work as ED of @greaterashmont, a local economic development 501(c)(3).

Great walkable neighborhoods are now more likely to be developed in places like rural #Oklahoma than in America’s legacy cities.
Why? Because the rules in rural Oklahoma don’t prevent urbanism.
@CarltonLanding @NewUrbanism #LegalizeHousing
Sunset park is a GREAT place to start. However it isn’t where this should end.
@BPEricAdams would do well cementing his boroughs place as being affordable and accessible by leading the push to #legalizehousing in Brooklyn
If a regulatory system is primarily designed to prevent new competition in a market it is regarded as bad monopolistic behavior. But with zoning it’s called community involvement. #LegalizeHousing
A free hot lunch doesn’t mean much without a warm safe place to lie your head at night. This is the #NYC we made a conscious choice to have #LegalizeHousing patch.com/new-york/new-york-city/o...
Jaw Dropping. 78k people without a home. To put that in context, NYC will only build 13k homes this year. How does @NYCMayor sleep at night knowing he is forcing people onto the streets? #LegalizeHousing ...
