I just got my hands on a memo I wrote in 2018 for my old boss, back before I found my way into housing policy.

#2, #3, #6, and #7 have since been passed because of @cayimby.bsky.social's fantastic team! 😊

Some points didn’t age as gracefully. It was a different time, we were all still learning.

NIMBYs in San Diego rented a charter bus to directly protest me and a few others at an ADU convention.

I was in Shinjuku’s Golden Gai district and this random Australian was just complaining to me about the country’s NIMBYism and their even more messed up version of the MID.

I nerded out so fucking hard to this random guy.

In Tokyo, I was in this bougie area where every restaurant charged like $50-100 a person.

Luckily, I found this little ACU and had a traditional Oden meal for $15.

The game of state laws playing local government whack-a-mole continues.
