It felt really great to visit my first project! ~4 years ago, after approvals, we sold a 65-lot subdivision. While the homes are larger & more $$ than originally hoped for, Greenwood Homes and Craig Builders built some beautiful new homes! So fun seeing it nearly complete!

Arlington County board officially voted tonight to appeal the ruling on 'missing middle' at their meeting this evening. Chair Garvey says there's concern that the judge's decision could have broader impact on local zoning authority.

Newly released study shows that separated bike lanes reduce maximum car speeds by 28%, average speeds for turning cars by 21%, and 8% for cars going straight. If cities want to reduce speeding, they should install separated/protected bike lanes—it’ll also get more people biking!

This will be the first rate cut since many high-profile YIMBY bills first started to come online in 2022—I'm excited to see more projects pencil.

I freaking love these. Cute little row houses like these would sell like hotcakes in Sunbelt cities if they were actually legal to build as infill. The market wants gentile density, we just need the cities to let us build!

Looks like Montana higher court reversed lower court’s decision to grant preliminary *injunctive relief* to opponents, citing “generalized fear and supposition of the potential effects” as insufficient grounds for staying the new ordinance. Relevant to ongoing Virginia cases.
BREAKING: Montana Supreme Court reverses MAID v Montana injunction on SB 323 and SB 528. HUGE win for pro-housing zoning reform in the courts. #mtpol

Relevant to Charlottesville
It’s official: the Alexandria Zoning for Housing challenge is moving forward. Judge Schell denied the city’s argument that the plaintiffs do not have standing to sue over the council’s decision to end single-family-only zoning.

High housing costs harm our communities in more ways than people often realize
So many DV victims are forced to stay in escalating abusive situations because they can't pay rent by themselves.

Today marks 6 months since Charlottesville's new zoning ordinance became effective. 🧵on submitted applications so far. I'm using the City's permit portal, which is a little clunky, and so it's possible I missed something. Link here to search yourself: permits.charlottesville.gov/…

This is a pretty lame list of applications, but the NIMBYs should be happy -- a very slow rate of change/growth. Though, I do know there are quite a few applications nearing submittal. Excited to see the next 6 months of submittals!
