I was thrilled to attend the YIMBY Legislative Victory Party last night, surrounded by many passionate advocates for housing. It was an honor to be recognized as the YIMBY 2025 Legislator of the Year!

In my opinion, more than 75% of every urban planning, architecture, and landscape architecture program today should focus on “SPRAWL REPAIR”. The work is endless. And virtually nobody is teaching it.

A gentle reminder that these are still illegal in most U.S. residential neighborhoods.

USAID programs prevent pandemics, wars, and starvation. That doesn’t just save lives, it also keeps countries from embracing terror groups or our adversaries like China. Shutting down USAID isn’t just reckless, it’s also going to make America weaker and less safe.

"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' ...

...And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right."

The top two were @Yimbyindenver champions Rep. Steve Woodrow and Matthew Ball! I congratulate Senator Elect Ball on his victory and look forward to working with him to create sustainable housing abundance in Colorado.
A blow to former State Sen. Chris Hansen (D-Denver) who won reelection, immediately resigned, and tried to handpick his successor - who didn’t even finish in the top two. #copolitics

Today we are encouraging everyone to #VoteYesOn7A. 7A allows RTD to keep on retaining revenue above TABOR limits and avoids cuts to bus & rail service. greaterdenvertransit.com/rtd…

Donald Trump said something important in Aurora that I missed. He hinted at using the US military against American citizens. Then, on Sunday, he came right out and said it on FOX. #copolitics

Built in 1920, this 9-unit building on a 3,400sf lot has a density of 112 units / acre. This is illegal everywhere in town under today’s current zoning. It would still be illegal to build if they were to approve their proposed MBTA Communities compliant zoning. 📍 Marblehead

Thank you to everyone who spoke in favor! The project was unanimously approved. youtu.be/MihLoCm66g0?si=UJYM…
We need your help! NIMBYs are trying to shut down the construction of hundreds of new homes, including around 100 affordable units. This project would transform a vacant lot into a vibrant, mixed use area. Sign up now to testify at city council tonight. fs12.formsite.com/qD2eXl/hea…

First words out of Harris' mouth at the debate were about the housing shortage. The policies @Yimbyindenver have been advocating for years are at the top of the Democratic agenda!
