Thanks BFPB (Bank Financial Protection Bureau)!! Killing 1033 rule was a sweet little fee handover to banks, at the expense of the consumers Kind of hope the aggregators go back to the screen scraping days. At least that battle of fintech’s trying to free the consumer’s data

This is why Older Millennials are the only truly sane generation who has ever lived, or probably will ever live

Obama is pro-housing and that's super cool. Here is why anyone who is a progressive should be too.

A new report from The National Zoning Atlas shows that it's largely illegal to build most housing types, other than single-family, across the vast majority of Massachusetts land. “We still have yet to address the fact that it is simply illegal to build housing in most places."

Classic case of Boomerocracy. When the Boomers were young, politics revolved around youth and student issues. When they wanted to buy houses, the government ensured houses were built and helped them buy. Now that they're old, government policy prioritizes elder care.

That’s what’s up.

Abundance should be about rebuilding trust and creating better systems under which every American can thrive!

It would cost the government nothing, require deleting just five words from a 50-year-old federal law, and has enjoyed quiet support from housing researchers and leaders for decades. via Rachel Cohen Booth w/ Vox hubs.ly/Q03yww350

When it comes to one of the most basic necessities for people – housing – both political parties have failed to deliver. It’s a problem of our own making, but it’s one we can get ourselves out of. I’m on the Senate floor to explain how we do it. Tune in. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Zoning reform is often framed as a battle—“eliminate,” “abolish,” “overturn.” But what if we shifted the language? What if instead of subtraction, we talked about addition? Let’s talk about additive language and why it matters. 🧵

Second this. There are few higher-leverage philanthropic opportunities than supporting state and local pro-housing organizations and the national think tanks/researchers that are providing the peer-to-peer networks, research, and support for these reforms.

I’m biased here but you should also support pro-housing electoral efforts too ahmaiepac.org

Nothing more American than the freedom to build a variety of housing types on your own property. 📍 Salem, MA

I fundamentally do not understand the impulse to be upset when people adopt more moderate policy positions. Isn't that good?
