if you're gonna pass a law enabling ADUs (which you should), package it with plan books and forgivable loans in exchange for affordable rents. I regret to inform Nashville that Charlotte appears to be doing something "very cool"

I cannot agree with @rollinhorton.bsky.social more. Housing preservation is just as vital as new development, particularly for those most vulnerable to displacement.
Nashville’s homelessness problem is a housing problem - one of choice. Rising housing costs force our most vulnerable residents onto the streets
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment.
Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
