Rent control may sound good, but history shows it reduces investment & shrinks housing supply. Washington State, beware. #RentControl #HousingShortage cascadiadaily.com/2025/may/07/he…

We didn't just price out renters—we priced out the ability to build. It's not just an income problem; it's a structural supply crisis decades in the making. #HousingCrisis Read more: link.upforgrowth.org/kPqcE4

Cities evolve. Duluth's Woodland neighborhood itself emerged only after the 1890s streetcar line—a mere blink compared to centuries-old European cities. Embracing change, including condos, is key to sustainable communities. #ZoningReform #UrbanEvolution Read more:

Home insurance in wildfire-prone California is spiking, with another 17% hike due to climate-vulnerable land use. We need to rethink zoning to build compact, resilient communities. Excellent reporting from David Gelles at The New York Times: link.upforgrowth.org/NeRFXt

Downzoning and rent caps don’t stop gentrification—they force it. Anya Martin's piece in blah blah nails it: scarcity is the villain. Legalize more homes, protect residents. Build abundance. #YIMBY #AffordableHousing #HousingCrisis link.upforgrowth.org/XlhRTK
