Thank you! Looking forward to working towards a more sustainable urban environment for housing, transit, and businesses. Along with our actual environment because everything is land use!

I grew up in Maine so I had smoked meat access before proper pastrami. Love that it’s richer & the seasoning hits better to me!

It’s an interesting way to phrase it but we cannot afford to be timid

Maryland faces many challenges ahead; rapidly rising housing costs, small businesses in need of help, and shrinking opportunity for middle class families. As a Delegate I will fight to reverse those trends and to create Opportunity for All. #MDpolitics

I REALLY don’t think enough people see the housing crisis as a big reason why we got shelled in 24. A state losing population due to housing costs should be a 5 alarm fire not a timid proposal slide whistle

We had a very ambitious bill last year that was watered down a bit but was still a good start. There will likely be more attempts this year and at least a statewide ADU bill

Unfortunately MONTANA had one of the best statewide interventions out there (which as a Dem ashames me!)

All zoning authority is given by the state, the state can mandate specific changes. Some states like California (ADUs & Builders Remedy) Montana (missing middle) & Oregon (quadplexes) have done so already!

Unfortunately I know a lot of NIMBY left. That one doesn’t fall neatly on the left right spectrum
