Your words don't match actions. You spoke at conference sponsored by profit and harm. AirBnb sponsors #YIMBYtown

“Listening to reps from other states talk about their successes, it’s easy to think 'That won’t work here.' But this thinking is a fallacy. Connecticut is not unique.."

Our policy manager, Joe Harrington, spoke at @yimbytown.bsky.social about the intersection of transportation and housing today, specifically regarding highway removal and the land use opportunities it offers. The room was packed!

A few random thoughts about #yimbytown @yimbytown.bsky.social:
1. Zoning reform is winning. User fees have to be next.
2. Despite our reputation, everyone I met was delightful, and the vibes were awesome.
3. We are growing like crazy. We barely fit in the venue this year!
Goodbye #yimbytown! I've been to a lot of different conferences over the years, and this was probably the very best one I've ever gone to! See you next year??
All-star Single Stair Panel @yimbytown.bsky.social to close out a fantastic conference. Special thanks to @stephenjacobsmith.com + @edmendoza.bsky.social who took on some of our audience questions.
Excited to see even more progress on technical building codes at the next #yimbytown!
Oh, my, yes - THIS is the gold, Ryan! When you see evidence out in the world that it isn't just our own community fighting for these changes, but the truth is there is now a country-wide collective of humans all enthusiastically aiming for the same thing: people-centric communities. #Joy #YimbyTown
In & around DC, @alexbaca.bsky.social says it’s “increasingly rare” for her to be asked by electeds to do turnout.
@justupthepike.bsky.social mentions the time an elected asked not for big numbers but for “one quippy teen” who would make nimbys look bad 😂

If you happen to be at #yimbytown, the panel I’m moderating about left-YIMBYism in the Trump era is in the Wooster Room in 20 minutes!
On stage from left to right: Eric Goldwyn (Transit Costs Project), Stephanie Pollack (FHWA, MASSDOT), Zach Liscow (Yale Law) and Kate Slevin (Regional Plan Association)
“An extra 1% of government engineers retiring, in California, increases costs on projects by 4-5%. So these people are paying for themselves many times over”, according to Zach Liscow at this #YIMBYtown panel
Our very own Kate representing at #yimbytown
I first heard @tamikabutler.bsky.social speak in 2016—we had the chance to
work together after that—and I told anyone within earshot to hear her speak today at #yimbytown. I’m glad she’s here and will leave with a lot to
think about ⬇️
Really bummed to miss #YIMBYTown. These conferences are crucial to new ideas.
Thanks to Bryan Davidson for live skeeting Bill McKibben’s talk at #YIMBYTown . A couple of items jump out to me https://bsky.app/profile/lanefab.com/post/3lys77dwitk2a

Sad I didn’t make it to #YIMBYtown this year, but at least I can relive the magic through my coffee mug. @housingnowto.bsky.social @russilwvong.bsky.social @nzorach.bsky.social
Texans representing @yimbytown.bsky.social! Great discussion with @texansforhousing.bsky.social #txlege housing coalition partners. Great to share our recent housing wins with the #yimbytown audience
Interesting debate on inclusionary zoning at #yimbytown. @justupthepike.bsky.social making the case for variable funding policy depending on the jurisdiction. Some counties need it funded; some don’t.
We had a great keynote speech from North Dakota Governor Kelly Armstrong. He told me he would sign a bill to eliminate minimum parking requirements if that came to his desk. #yimbytown
Also made a plug for local public day care. #yimbytown
“For every five people leaving the trades we only have 1-2 entering,” we need more career and technical education, we need more legal immigration.
- ND Gov Armstrong at #yimbytown
“We were aiming for 600 people. We’re over 1,000 now. Previously held in Boulder, Boston, Oakland, Portland and Austin, #YIMBYtown has become a national hub for the pro-homes movement.”

“One man stood alone for decades building the body of work that makes this movement possible. If any of us feel alone in this work, think of Professor Donald Shoup.
“His work will reshape cities for decades to come.” @adamgreenfield.bsky.social for the Austin Parking Reform Coalition

Katharine Lacy of the MA Housing Partnership on MA's upzoning bill: "We made it too hard. We were so convinced that cities were going to game it, and we made it too complicated, and you know what, they're gaming it anyway."

CHAPA worked with local Chambers of Commerce to mobilize their members to speak at town meetings etc in support of allowing homes their workers can afford.
