A light blue graphic with bold dark blue text at the top that reads, “SIGN OUR PETITION — LET YOUNG PEOPLE STAY IN ALBUQUERQUE.” Below this, smaller text introduces three quotes from residents about the lack of affordable housing and starter homes. The quotes say: “As someone who has been actively looking to purchase an affordable housing option, this amendment directly incentivizes the construction of the very homes that I would like to live in (rowhouse).” Next: “At the same age my parents were able to purchase a home for less than $150k, I am now in my first salaried position with full benefits and it is still unrealistic for me to buy my own home.” Third: “Stable housing is out of reach for many of my friends and peers. Basic necessities need to be kept affordable!” On the lower left is a large yellow button with the words “LINK IN BIO.” Below it is the text “and at www.strongtownsabq.org.” On the lower right is a photo of the Albuquerque skyline with the Sandia Mountains in the background. Decorative dark paint strokes frame parts of the design.
“Let young people stay in Albuquerque” shouldn’t be controversial.
We need more homes people can actually afford — duplexes, rowhouses, casitas, tienditas, all of it.

Neighborhood coalitions are suing the City of Albuquerque. Not to build more housing — but to keep blocking it.
We break down what O-24-69 actually does, why the lawsuit matters, and how “community voice” is being weaponized.
