There is this pervasive idea in Madison that growth is out of control or not following a plan. In actuality, the growth is developing according to adopted plans. The BRT routes rely upon this fact, that they are located along locations of future increased density.

Housing Week Begins! We could probably just fix Madison's affordable housing problem by zoning the entire city to be at least as dense as Tenney-Lapham. wkow.com/news/top-stori…

The main thesis of M. Nolan Gray 🥑's book (very simplified) is "zoning bad," but the thing that most stuck with me is the corollary: that as planners grew increasingly obsessed with zoning and the uses of privately owned land, we completely lost sight of the public realm.

Hey folks, we’re also taking up the Northeast Area Plan tonight. We’re still over here on the east side existing. Also, over 400 folks have signed a petition opposing a proposed road through a portion of Sycamore Park. Residents are engaged over here too. captimes.com/news/governmen…

The biggest event tonight (obviously) is Madison Common Council! Tonight the Northeast and West area plans are up for approval. Most controversial element is the proposed extension of Nakoosa Trail, & affordable student housing bonus floor policy .cityofmadison.com/city-hall/comm…

Good morning! Here are a few more reasons I’m voting yes on Madison’s Municipal Referendum: ✅ supporting services for our elders. ✅ supporting affordable efforts to help folks housed.
