@salimfurth We think we know why those programs don't have high uptake. Our first program in Bryan TX has limited uptake but we changed some things for our second program in Claremore OK which is exceeding hopes and expectations. For Overland Park we are doing dozens of buildings. Big change
@izurietavarea @jasoncoxnc @stevemouzon @ErikBootsma @Cobylefko @SCP_Hughes @DFRSH757 @ad_mastro @docMJP @CharlestonArchi @Trad_Arch_Bdays Sure. We also did this in Claremore Oklahoma and are working with Overland Park and a few other cities on a next gen implementation. We did an update at a CNU webinar about a month ago, that covers these cities' programs. cnu.org/resources/on-t… @fotoerikbootsma please reach out!
Check out this framework for climate-first municipal policy. When I was a council member I was charged with writing and approving laws for the health safety and welfare of our people. But this actually tells you how to understand and describe that. Much needed!
If you missed our webinar today with @GarlynnWoodsong, @BaxterHankin, and Matt Lambert, hosted by @cnupublicsquare, the recording is posted now at cnu.org/resources/on-t…
Obviously an oversimplification... I just found it interesting that the NIMBY talking point is if you don't build housing then newcomers won't come. That's wrong, it actually results in long time residents being pushed out to allow only wealthy people to move here.
Consultants are going to get paid a lot of money to help pretend the problem is more complicated than failing to pass extremely popular legislation after promising to do that.
Democrats have faced brutal midterm climates and slim margins in Congress before. But the current iteration of the Democratic Party has rarely, if ever, been on such shaky ground with young people. politico.com/news/2022/04/1…

@YIMBYDurham @mnolangray @Town_Builders @NewUrbanism This drawing is by @johnthebad, one of the founders of the Incremental Development Alliance. There's a lot that can be done for educating lenders on what existing underwriting rules permit, but major program reforms are still needed around appraisals like @bernicebuffalo says.
Regional planning — be still my heart @landpolicy @RegionalPlan fastcompany.com/90737389/forge…
Smaller communities out of the spotlight are wrongly mistaken for not having much going on, but they're doing some amazing things! Located in Wheeling, West Virginia, these 86 new homes are colorful, fun, well scaled & great pieces of urban fabric. Larger places can learn a lot!
All churches should do this. All.
Places of worship tackle the affordable housing shortage. The Southeast Tabernacle Baptist Church in Washington D.C. wants to add nearly 80 rental units on its land in an underserved neighborhood. nextcity.org/urbanist-news/…
So it turns out ideological meritocracy isn't exactly healthy for society.
Huge precedent for us if this passes. Social housing is a big missing tool in our kit here in the States.

Hey @uamshealth officially has 0 patients in hospital for active COVID. Down from 100 @ our Omicron peak. I hope Team UAMS is able to take a breath & relax. We are not out of the woods, but it’s nice to have a vision of a better future. Get vaxxed and respect each other!
Hi!! This is your regular reminder that it is STILL okay to not want to get Covid! Even if: ✅You are *not* immune compromised ✅You *don't* live with a kid < 5 years old ✅People like you usually only get mildly sick right after infection You are permitted to not want Covid!
What's another $2 a night to a visitor on a hotel stay? In Fayetteville, this exact same policy change would raise $400k or more every year for tourism and another $400k for parks. And we need it.
PASSED: The Seattle City Council has approved an assessment rate change requested by the Seattle Tourism Improvement Area from $2 to $4 per occupied hotel room night to help increase tourism to Seattle.
Will another park fix downtown Little Rock? Will a downtown park make up for all the acres of blocks supporting housing? History will prove this project is a mistake. Downtown needs better connections to abutting districts, not harder edges.
Thanks, @THV11, for sharing this update on the 30 Crossing project and the 20-acre park that downtown Little Rock will gain because of it! thv11.com/article/news/l…
