Meanwhile, in Cambridge, MA, a housing crisis has prompted a significant change: a new zoning reform allows for buildings up to six stories! Will Doig reports it’s the most comprehensive citywide rezoning in the U.S.

#HousingCrisis #YIMBY

Bygget på västra sidan om Årstabergs station fortsätter nu med det närmare kvaretet till stationen. Ett höghus igen som del av kvarteret, enligt plandokumenten och visionsbilderna en klart annan fasad än den befintliga gråbeiga tråkklossen iaf.

Everyone in #medfordma who supports upzoning, supports abolishing COSTLY PARKING MANDATES, supports housing abundance -- you all need to show up to City Council Tuesday at 7 p.m.

This is technically Salem Street Corridor rezoning, but it's the first controversial rezoning to happen. And though parking minimums aren't officially on the agenda, they will be soon. City Council needs to hear you are ready to abolish them.

Cambridge, MA, approved citywide zoning allowing six-story apartment buildings by-right, a landmark YIMBY policy to address its severe housing crisis.

Office-to-apartment conversions keep rising

When bad weather delayed housing construction in Germany, something unexpected happened to rents across the board.

New research shows how building more housing creates a surprising chain reaction that helps all renters.

While as an Oxford #yimby I appreciate infrastructure investment in the #Oxford area, it seems to me that the disregard of the net zero goals is not the only dangerous thing about Labours "growth strategy". The seemingly ignorance of any commitment to #levelling_up, if not reckless seems to be at least a high risk strategy.

Hello everyone! I’d like to make an #introduction , if I may.

My name is Donald, and I’m from South Carolina, USA.
After many discussions with friends and family, I’ve decided that my life and future would be better suited joining my S/O in #scotland away from the volatility that’s currently sweeping my country.

I’m a huge advocate of #yimby and #publictransit , love #f1 (yes I know, it’s ironic) and would do anything for my family, including uprooting everything for their safety and future.

Audience question: "How can places with a high cost of living be prepared for displaced individuals without exacerbating the cost of living?"

Beth Gibbons: "Building more housing."

Then vs now.

At Årstaberg station (commuter rail & LRT ring line) just outside inner city Stockholm. Big redevelopment ongoing. Low rise light industry to high rise residential (fairly urban). Including eastern entrance going from stairs & ramp up to narrow shared use path, to a a plaza with nice ramp & stairs, wide pedestrian + cycling bridge across, and a big grocery store coming!
Other side getting somewhat redeveloped soon too.

Thanks to #Virginia Delegate David Owen for introducing #HB2480 to reduce the regulatory burden on new #housing to subsidize motor vehicle use. This made some sense a century ago when new safe homes were plentiful and safe smooth pavement was not, but things are very different today with a worsening housing #shortage . #zoning #waroncars #redtape #YIMBY https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20251/HB2480

Surprise surprise.. supply and demand also applies to housing.

“The supply of listings has outstripped the number of (lease) transactions,” he said. “So there’s been more choice for renters, and as a result, they’ve had more negotiating power on rent.”

Rent price has dropped in the GTA (Toronto) among higher supply
