#HouPublicWorks urges residents NOT to drip their faucets during this week's freezing weather. Our water system is different than others. Dripping faucets could lead to a dangerous drop in water pressure. Instead, open doors under sinks to keep pipes warm #houwx #Freeze #HouWater

NEW: We just passed a Harris County Climate Action Plan that will reduce emissions from county operations by 40% by 2030. We’re won't stop there. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges we face as a people and a planet.

Build the Ike Dike

Love seeing Montrose blvd and many other streets with reduced car lanes and/or closed this morning !! Let’s bring back Sunday Streets City of Houston

“If a community gets federal housing $, it's not enough to say it won't discriminate. It has to take meaningful steps to overcome patterns of segregation & give everybody a fair shot to live there." - President Donald J. Trump New AFFH rule coming as soon as this week.

Happy MLK Day. Today we reflect on Dr. King's legacy and the history of racial discrimination that impacts Black people and people of color today. As YIMBYs, it's critical for us to continue to fight for abundant and inclusive housing that leads to a more equitable world.
