Raleigh is serious about its historic homes - but also has some lovely newer ones. Townhouse mews are a great land-efficient option. And hats off to NC realtors…y’all got good taste.

Hard agree with @jerusalem.bsky.social: the Abundance movement does *not* want an abundance of Town Meetings. So much less adorable in real life than in Gilmore Girls. Right, @salimfurth.bsky.social @jessekb.bsky.social ?

Big picture: a LOT of states are introducing a wide range of housing supply-focused bills. And many of them are getting adopted. That's great news!

Julia Moskin’s “best gazpacho.” To be honest, I’ve not sampled all the other gazpachos, but this one is pretty damn delicious. Cheers!

I’m pleasantly surprised by the amount of new housing near the McLean metro stop. And looks like surface parking lot near Spring Hill is destined to become something.

And state govts would prefer not to have to sue local govts to get them to comply! There's a whole toolkit of cheaper, less politically toxic options to help/nudge local govts to allow more diverse housing. Lawsuits should be the last resort (ahem, Milton).

Tonight was, in fact, my first rodeo. But hopefully not my last one. Had a blast (and some amazing brisket nachos) at the Houston rodeo and livestock show.

Setting the right expectations can help avoid stakeholder frustration. Advocates & legislators should be clear about how long it will take for policies to generate new housing & the size of impacts on prices & rents. Don’t overpromise & underdeliver!
