The tradnats are too low IQ (dumb) to appreciate that a big part of the story is the intentional destruction of our cities.
Hon. Phil Twyford was Minister for Housing and Urban Development during a crucial period in New Zealand's reforms. At the time, Chris Parker was Treasury's expert on housing, and Benno Blaschke was at the Ministry and at LGNZ. Our podcast chat: nzinitiative.org.nz/reports-and-me…
A testament to New Zealand virtue: I left my bag at an event last night, and came back to retrieve it untampered with! Nobody stole "The Venezuela-Guyana Border Dispute: Britain's Colonial Legacy in Latin America," as tempting as it must have been!
Arbitrary Lines by @mnolangray is an engaging and controversial argument against zoning laws. The Divided City by Alan Mallach offers new insights on racial and economic inequalities in industrial cities. Get BOTH for just $40 (shipping included!) islandpress.org/2for40
"In medical research, there’s a practice of ending a study early when the results are too striking to ignore. ... When an intervention works this clearly, you change what you do."

All planning discourse naturally devolves into either "ban this" or "mandate that" if you don't take proactive steps to avoid it.
We need to legalize family-friendly apartments *and* we need to legalize microunits & SROs The discourse sometimes gets out of hand & leans into banning studios 😬 But most cities have overwhelmingly big 1-family homes. New studios are popular in part bc they're undersupplied!
Burhan rallied an incredible pro-housing citywide coalition Grassroots housers long thought basically only a mayor in a strong-mayor city can do that Cambridge shows councillors in weak-mayor cities can do it too—without fear of member deference!—through at-large STV council
Pretty good read by Alex! Hits a lot of important points
It's great to see a leading gubernatorial candidate talking about these issues. Tom Steyer was a vocal supporter of SB 79 before it was cool.
We are over-regulating in California. Building 88K new homes a year is not nearly enough. We need to both address outdated zoning rules and also deploy new homebuilding technologies to drive down costs. @briantylercohen
