Do you get these "Tell Congress" ones as geo targeted podcast and streaming video ads too? I get them all the time. Sir I do not have a voting member of Congress! (But I assume I am not the target)

Yiiikes!
(Also "six story monstrosity"! The horror!)

But there is also a real need to build relationships with urban community orgs who are suspicious - with good cause! - of development, and make it clear that you can be "yes and" on building both market rate and subsidized/income-restricted denser housing. You need to change zoning policy for both!

It feels like a lot of this is the legacy of Boomer "conservation" environmentalism that sees their sprawly suburbs with grass & trees as "green" and big buildings as bad, despite their actual carbon footprints.

Oooh boy this is an important conversation. I'm forever baffled that ending car-centric & economically/racially exclusionary land use patterns isn't a core climate philanthropy priority OR a core economic justice philanthropy priority.

I heard the episode of "Criminal" about that!

💙So sorry to hear that you went through that, but glad that you were in Illinois and able to get care.
