👋🏻 here to join the #BikeTooter crew!

Upzoning works, folks. Building more homes stabilizes & lowers rents in real terms (i.e., adjusted for inflation).

Abundance is good! #YIMBY

6 years in the making - Auckland's rents are now lower in real terms then they were at the time of upzoning in December 2016. The rest of the country is up over 10% of the same period. A short thread.

This 4 decker I used to live in is now affordable housing thanks to the 100 Homes program. Triple deckers are unique to our region, but prohibited in many places. I want to introduce zoning changes that allow triple deckers to build more housing and honor our regional heritage.

The most extreme Lead Paint Caucus thinking is stuff like this argument against taking out freeways on the grounds that removing a massive source of noise, air, and particulate pollution could lead to gentrification.
