This is great news. We know #LocalPolitics work & we need to empower the local. There is an upside to #NIMBYism: no one wants to live in an unhealthy & dangerous environment. Let’s start working more broadly to turn the #ClimateCrisis around. In #onpoli, we are moving in the wrong direction.

Why can't cities just build more?

Homeowners vote at higher rates and dominate local politics. Restricting supply protects their asset values. They show up; renters don't. The asymmetry is structural, not accidental.

VTA light rail extension project damaging homes, San Jose residents say Several San Jose residents are blaming VTA light rail extension construction for damaging their homes.

Talking Headways Podcast: ‘The Dawn of the NIMBYs’ "We kind of live in this eternal present of cities being a certain way and always seeming to remain that way." And that's bad, says today's guest.

Excellent article, at a time when landing controls are being diluted and ministers ride roughshod over communities - and sometimes planning inspectors. The fight for a #LiveableFuture is not #NIMBYism, but #survival.

Another poor implementation of Technology by this Government, why must they be so shit? Is it's corruption, naivety or a heady mix of the two?

Bipartisan affordable housing package could be on cutting room floor this session, key lawmaker says The tied Minnesota House on Tuesday approved its housing budget proposal on a bipartisan vote.

There was bi-partisan support to allow affordable homes to be built
if the comprehensive plan allowed for it the last 2 sessions. The League of Minnesota Cities lobbied hard against it, because they wanted local control.

They also enable Portugal to be practically independent from fossil-powered energy generation. The UK should get over it & get on with it! #NIMBYISM has to stop!

in many contexts, change is accepted more in the abstract than the concrete or local. The latter is the conceptual definition of #NIMBYism: [collective action failure due to] scale-dependent preferences/impacts, per e.g. hankinson@bsky.social 2018 www.mhankinson.com/documents/re...
