@yimbyaction.bsky.social
70+ Chapters across the US fighting for abundant housing that's inclusive, sustainable, and affordable.
Last year, we put out a piece making it clear that immigration is NOT why housing is so expensive. We were responding to messages from VP Vance as he scapegoated immigrants while ignoring the importance of reducing barriers to increased homebuilding.
Unfortunately, we're repeating this message.

Our YIMBY Fort Collins Chapter saw endorsed candidates completely sweep all 4 races for Mayor and City Council in Fort Collins, CO. By the way, one of their chapter members won one of these City Council seats (subtle flex) 😏

"While demand appears to be slowing, supply remains the key force suppressing rent growth. The supply-heavy regions of the U.S. saw rent cuts in both 3rd quarter and the past year."

🚨HUGE HOUSING NEWS🚨
@cagovernornewsom.bsky.social has signed SB 79 into law! 🥳
SB 79 means that big cities who don't plan for apartments, condos, and other multi-family homes near transit will have some of their land upzoned by the State.
This is a huge deal, BUT our work isn't done 👀
