You do not have to pay a license fee.
You do not have to pay a review fee.
You only have to pay a permit fee.

One year ago today, my City eliminated minimum parking requirements for multifamily housing.
One year later: the sky didn’t fall. Most projects still include parking. But some infill housing is finally moving forward where parking mandates once made it infeasible.

"Zoning determines what is allowed; the permitting system determines what gets built."
🚨🏘️ My new report, Delayed by Design: How Discretionary Permitting Stalls Housing in Massachusetts, examines how discretionary review, uncertainty & delay can keep housing from getting built.

Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.

Amazing what happens when we stop thinking of streets as exclusively places to store and move cars, and start seeing them as places to build community, strengthen connections, support small business and bring our neighborhoods to life.

San Francisco cut its affordable-housing requirement from 15% to 5% because the city's own controller found the old rate made most projects unprofitable to build at all — so developers built nothing.

Have to imagine all the fan support on display in Raleigh for these finals helps their MLB expansion chances somewhat.

A new @pewtrusts study finds that infill housing near jobs, stores, and transit costs governments ~$21,000 less per home to serve, cuts long term infrastructure maintenance costs in half, and generates 13% more in annual property tax revenue per acre than sprawl.

Jim Valvano taught us to enjoy life and to cherish every moment.
As we continue this journey, we’re reminded that the Stanley Cup Final is about more than hockey. It’s about people, purpose, sacrifice, and appreciating the moments that bring us together.

Charlotte and Raleigh have had their differences, but when it really mattered, they've always come together.
In the late 80's when the NBA was looking to expand, the Raleigh leadership was extremely vocal in their support of Charlotte to win the franchise that eventually became the Hornets.
Last week, @andrew_dunn's piece in the @CharlotteObser and the @newsobserver suggested that the Queen City is ready to return the favor with MLB.
Charlotte, Durham, every town and every city in this state, we've put in the work here in Raleigh for the past 8 years, building this bid with a dream of bringing home an MLB team.
We've gone from afterthought to potential front-runner.
Now, we need everyone in North Carolina to join us and do what they said couldn't be done...
Bring #MLB2NC together as one united state!
