Our ~only comedy club is closing. Funny Stop is in prime real estate along State Road, one of the busiest roads in the Falls. Owners say an 85% monthly rent increase ($2,300 to $4,300) caused the closure. #zoning #yimby

To Move Past False Choices, Housing Funders Must Embrace Supply Responding to criticism of his call for funders to “take a side,” Ned Resnikoff makes a case for a grand bargain among progressive housing advocates.

When household size gets a lot smaller, we need a lot MORE housing for the SAME number of people.

Our zoning laws must allow more flexible housing types to meet these growing needs!

Thanks to Kronberg Urbanists + Architects for this great graphic!

A question on development for both the #yimby and #nimby crowd. The majority of American urban zoning and building regulations are not truly democratic. What would real democratic building regulations look like?

What are you #YIMBY about? Tell me about how you bring regenerative ways to life through what you do at your doorstep?

Rue Bellechasse/Rue Saint-Denis : Un duplexe devient un triplexe ? #yimby

Post on Twitter from 2013 by Brent Toderian. Text says “What’s beyond NIMBY? I’m heartened by YIMBY (yes in my backyard) in laneway housing, and I think we need more QIMBY (quality in my backyard).

12. So I’ll keep calling for more badly needed density, more change, but always #DensityDoneWell. Listening/learning, smart design, multi-modal, with livable amenities.

Let’s keep talking about #NIMBY & #YIMBY. But let’s DEFINITELY not leave out my favourite, QUALITY IN MY BACKYARD #QIMBY.

Thanks.

11. My observation is that, just like #YIMBY was push-back against #NIMBY, many cities are seeing a predictable pushback against any YIMBY that seemed to skip over good faith conversations about how to grow WELL. It concerns me that such pushback may see cities lose ground instead of make progress.

10. I’ll end by addressing the #YIMBY movement (“YES in my backyard”), which I generally consider a very good thing. Don’t ever let it become the extreme mirror image of the worst NIMBY approaches. The answer shouldn’t ever be an automatic yes or no about change, since neither has real credibility.

Closest a #yimby has ever come to realizing they're the bad guys

Scott Weiner lobbied to insert that tower block cube (11m42s) in the heart of Potrero Hill, replacing the traditional city blocks that grew up over more than a century of organic San Francisco development.

We got our WALC doormats and we’re obsessed.

We partnered with Freya Made to bring housing to the front door (literally). Look for these at upcoming events as we continue connecting housing to community.

Fred Rogers would have turned 98 this month.

His values predate the #YIMBY movement by decades, but in most ways, Fred Rogers is the OY, Original YIMBY, a case I argue below.

The mechanism by which this is enforced: zoning.

Most residential land in North American cities is zoned exclusively for single-family housing. Not a neutral decision. A political choice to protect incumbent wealth at the cost of everyone who came after.

All the "won't somebody think about the trees" NIMBYs are fake tree huggers. The greatest danger cities pose to trees is urban sprawl!
