Last year I decided I was no longer satisfied just posting about housing.
So I started a company with 3 other incredible dudes with the mission to build missing-middle housing at scale.
Introducing... The American Housing Corporation
It’s time to rebuild the American Dream.
If you cheer on the murder of someone for exercising their speech, you are infinitely closer to being a Fascist, than a Liberal.
What Kind of “Abundance American” are you?
I’m Abundance Dynamism 🇺🇸
My friend who runs a restaurant in Austin sent me this video of the ads that are playing on Pandora Spanish radio stations. Every commercial kitchen in America is hearing this.
Straight out of a dystopian horror film.
"Mom, how did we get so rich?"
"Your dad went to every city council meeting and said no any new housing in our city."
TEXAS PASSES 6-STORY SINGLE-STAIR BILL! 🤠
- Legalizes 6-stories, 4-units/floor, in TX state building code
- Cities that adopt standard amendments to state building code would by-default legalize 6-story single-stair apartments
- Paves way for streamlined adoption by cities
TEXAS SENATE JUST PASSED HOUSING ON COMMERCIAL ZONED LAND STATEWIDE 🤯
This law legalizes development & preempts cities over 150k from imposing
- Density limits below 36 unit/acre
- Heigh restrictions below 45ft
- Setbacks over 25ft
- Parking reqs over 1/unit
THIS IS MASSIVE
California trying to build new housing
For some reason, online leftists have the hardest time understanding the difference between politics and policy.
AOC understands the difference… that’s why she’s a populist in the streets and a YIMBY in the sheets!
Ok, can someone please put me in contact with someone at Kleinheinz. I need to learn more.
Wait, is this the first YIMBY community note ever!? Mega based!
Imagine seeing the Texas HSR is cancelled and your first instinct is to chirp at me as if I’m the problem.
China’s High Speed Rail overlaid on the US
I, for one, thought we were done rolling over and letting China win on the world stage. We used to build hard things in America, but apparently now we just leave that up to the Chinese.
Dang, 50,000 YIMBYs is insane.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that anti-abundance folks are incapable of chewing gum and walking at the same time.
Nevertheless, these folks never cease to surprise me with their small-mindedness
Me when I drive through an exurban subdivision with no trees or sidewalks
Too many people are like “YIMBY means this”, “YIMBY means that”….
YIMBY means YES to more housing. Literally just Yes, let’s build it. Make it easier, make it faster, make it legal to build.
Second actually but I just worded it weirdly

Blue state cities step your game up
Attention @mayorwu.boston.gov, we could have this for ourselves.

...but there's more!
City council passed 3 amendments for making this even better:
- CM Lane: explore allowing up to 75(!) feet
- CM Alter: explore increasing allowed floor plate area
- CM Ellis: tracking permitting and construction of single-stair projects.
AUSTIN JUST PASSED SINGLE STAIR REFORM! 🙌
