May 6th: Austin ISD will cut 215 educator salaries for next school year as it faces a $181 million deficit. May 21st: Council delays zoning case on Austin ISD parcel until September, preventing $26 million cash infusion for financially strapped district. Great job @mikesiegeltx.bsky.social

AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL OFFICIALLY PASSES MISSING MIDDLE ZONING!! Austin will create two new middle housing zones: - Middle Residential (MR): townhomes, cottage courts, single-stair - Mixed Use (MX): mixed use multifamily Huge win for better neighborhoods and more housing options!

Last year I decided I was no longer satisfied just posting about housing. So I started a company with 3 other incredible dudes with the mission to build missing-middle housing at scale. Introducing... The American Housing Corporation It’s time to rebuild the American Dream.

If you cheer on the murder of someone for exercising their speech, you are infinitely closer to being a Fascist, than a Liberal.

What Kind of “Abundance American” are you? I’m Abundance Dynamism 🇺🇸

My friend who runs a restaurant in Austin sent me this video of the ads that are playing on Pandora Spanish radio stations. Every commercial kitchen in America is hearing this. Straight out of a dystopian horror film.

"Mom, how did we get so rich?" "Your dad went to every city council meeting and said no any new housing in our city."

TEXAS PASSES 6-STORY SINGLE-STAIR BILL! 🤠 - Legalizes 6-stories, 4-units/floor, in TX state building code - Cities that adopt standard amendments to state building code would by-default legalize 6-story single-stair apartments - Paves way for streamlined adoption by cities

TEXAS SENATE JUST PASSED HOUSING ON COMMERCIAL ZONED LAND STATEWIDE 🤯 This law legalizes development & preempts cities over 150k from imposing - Density limits below 36 unit/acre - Heigh restrictions below 45ft - Setbacks over 25ft - Parking reqs over 1/unit THIS IS MASSIVE

California trying to build new housing

For some reason, online leftists have the hardest time understanding the difference between politics and policy. AOC understands the difference… that’s why she’s a populist in the streets and a YIMBY in the sheets!

Ok, can someone please put me in contact with someone at Kleinheinz. I need to learn more.

Wait, is this the first YIMBY community note ever!? Mega based!

Imagine seeing the Texas HSR is cancelled and your first instinct is to chirp at me as if I’m the problem.

China’s High Speed Rail overlaid on the US I, for one, thought we were done rolling over and letting China win on the world stage. We used to build hard things in America, but apparently now we just leave that up to the Chinese.

Dang, 50,000 YIMBYs is insane.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that anti-abundance folks are incapable of chewing gum and walking at the same time. Nevertheless, these folks never cease to surprise me with their small-mindedness

Me when I drive through an exurban subdivision with no trees or sidewalks

Too many people are like “YIMBY means this”, “YIMBY means that”…. YIMBY means YES to more housing. Literally just Yes, let’s build it. Make it easier, make it faster, make it legal to build.

Attention @mayorwu.boston.gov, we could have this for ourselves.

Tokyo my Austin!!!

AUSTIN JUST PASSED SINGLE STAIR REFORM! 🙌 5 floors, 4 units per floor LETS GO!!!! www.singlestairatx.org

The cycle continues…

Can someone text me when we hit bottom, I got a couple bands I need to invest.

Austin City Council is officially voting on legalizing single-stair apartments tomorrow! Send good vibes!

[Timeline Cleanse] The Domino Sugar factory project by Two Trees is one of the best redevelopments of industrial land in American history. Every city needs a project like this. - 2800 Homes (700 affordable) - 600k sqft office - 200k sqft retail - 5 acres of a waterfront park

If he draws back the tarrifs in the next couple days, there'll ineviteably be a buch of Tarrif Truthers that will essentially be the right-wing version of "Real Communism has never been tried"

Wtf this LEGO set sucks

Apparently Liberation Day is being put on hold.

NIMBYism knows no bounds

Duke after blowing it in the last 32 seconds

H-TOWN BABYYYYYYYY Absolutely insane last minute of basketball.

Take two Waymo’s and you can never take a normal Uber again.

Every time I get into a human-driven Uber, all I can think is “damn, I wish this was a Waymo” Human drivers are honestly the worst.

took me a solid minute to realize that this is a real picture and not AI

Free trade is good.

Liberation day except your housing just got even more expensive

You are shopping for an apartment, You find a 1bd with a walk-in closet and a 1bd with an additional office/den but has a normal closet. They are the both 800sqft. Which one are you choosing?

Not to be political… just thoughts… If I was a republican operative, I’d try and isolate Elon from every single race as much as humanly possible. He’s political poison right now and this Wisconsin race proves it. Blowing $26 Million and still getting your ass beat is crazy.

"Nobody walks here, so why do we need them?" First the bike lanes, and now the sidewalks!? Madness.

Get me back to god’s country

Legalize "point access block" apartments like this country-wide and watch the housing crisis disappear faster than you can say 'not in my backyard'.
