#YIMBYtown2025
Lots of conversations at #yimbytown2025 about building as the solution to our housing crisis. Excited to moderate a panel tomorrow that expands our discussion to how models of community ownership are key to ensuring that everyone can access safe, stable and affordable homes! @yimbytown.bsky.social
Ok! #Yimbytown2025
Day 2
The mega thread continues…
Of course #yimbytown2025 is the very first conference I've been to with its own house beer!
Folks in rapt attention while sitting in the aisles and standing in the back to learn about building code reform at #YIMBYTown2025. These are my kind of people.
Tough medicine to kick off the housing conference.

A bar chart from a PowerPoint presentation showing affordability in metro areas with LGBTQ+ housing protections versus metro without protections. The chart shows that housing is more expensive in metro areas with LGBTQ+ housing protections
Homes are more expensive in metro areas with LGBTQ+ housing protections than those without- forcing people to choose between safety and being able to afford a home. Smh
