this area is on the continental divide trail, the headwaters of Rito Creek and tributaries to the Chama River and some utterly beautiful wilderness. Mining in these areas, esp for uranium, is unconscionable

Let’s go Santa Fe Tonight!

its happening in Santa Fe as well. First rent decreases in decades

We need to have a conversation about supply skepticism in the housing and homelessness provider community ASAP

Just when I thought we were no longer capable of receiving good news

Longing for simpler times

Makes sense: Lower income folks are often the first to feel supply driven cost increases as well

NM legislature has passed a bill that exempts affordable rental projects from paying gross receipts tax on construction. This will make more projects feasible and reduce the practice of having raise gap funding from local governments, just to turn around and pay it back to them in GRT.

Quick rundown on the $100m in housing funding coming in the House budget bill.

Big moves: New Mexico bans public contracts for ICE detention and prohibits local law enforcement from entering into formal partnerships with ICE. sourcenm.com/briefs/new-m...

I can’t tell who I hate more fascists or pedophiles. Oh wait 🤔

expect to see the NIMBY’s greet this with at least the same hostility they would a new apartment project in their neighborhood

“If we don't take action now We settle for nothing later Settle for nothing now And we'll settle for nothing later” RATM hitting differently lately

Covid- “housing is health care” Fashy times- “housing keeps you from being disappeared“

did a quick post on some highlight for New Mexico State housing legislation. danielwerwath.substack.com/p/housing-bi...

I've created a spreadsheet to track housing bills in the New Mexico legislature this session. I'll do my best to update regularly. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

New Mexico House Finance Committee will have its main hearing on housing funding this afternoon at 1:30 today. Zoom link in comments.

The Governor has some (let’s politely call them) unconventional ideas about homelessness. This is at the core of them- a preoccupation with high acuity chronic homelessness, and a belief that our inability to commit chronic homeless with behavioral issue is what’s driving the problem. (1)

This would be a big step away from our current vibes-based approach to housing www.santafenewmexican.com/news/busines...

Maine should secede and join Denmark

what will it take to get politicians off demand-side housing interventions. literally throwing fuel on the affordability fire.

When ICE goes down, can it please take with it: -Militarization of domestic police forces -the Tac-Bro LARPER clothing aesthetic -HD mall cruiser trucks on 22’s with lifts and straight pipes Thank you

Four days from the start of the 2026 New Mexico Legislative Session and I'm tracking 25 housing bills and funding proposals. As of today, only one has been profiled. Stay tuned for blog posts and a live stream on housing policy starting Monday the 26th with Stephanie Nakhleh on her substack

I’ll see you at Abolish ICE and raise you- Demilitarize ALL Domestic Police Forces

It’s all land use.

Not all hero’s wear capes

people’s singular anecdotal takes on homelessness and housing issues really make me feel like my head is going to actually explode

What started as an unusual letter from the DoD over a year ago, now means more affordable housing and homelessness infrastructure in Silver City www.ktsm.com/local/el-pas...

LFG New Mexico! Who’s going to try it, oh wait this is illegal under nearly all zoning in the state because of parking, wah wah

Seriously Heinrich? WTAF

As-of-right zoning for housing people, discretionary approvals for housing cars

Totally game for when the wealthiest country in the history of he world finally decides we don’t want to let people die slowly on the streets anymore

I get shouted at online for offering that nuclear energy is more complex than people let on, especially in the “abundance” circles. And while I know it has to be at least part of our approach to ghg’s, my lord how we gloss over the ugliness of where the fuel comes from and where it goes after

New Mexico- still not building enough new housing

Great chat w/ Richard Eeds on Talk Santa Fe about the state of housing, recent land use and funding wins and challenges he’s with our outdated inclusionary zoning ordinance. santafe.com/podcast/rich...

Charles was an amazing person who I had the pleasure of knowing most of my life. As we lose the last survivors of the Holocaust, I can't square in my head how so many people are mainstreaming the exact rhetoric that led to the most despicable thing that humans have done in modern times.

Headline sort of says it all. Big win for affordable housing and zoning reform In Santa Fe www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

the most impactful affordable housing project in Santa Fe, perplexingly, remains low-t-no priority for the city

You can file a land use appeal in Santa Fe for $132 and tie up a development for years. It costs the public and raises the cost of housing. Colorado‘s judicial review reform bill (HB24-1107) makes appellants pay for the city’s legal fees if they lose- dissuading frivolous lawsuits sfnm.co/49SB8EU

Is #Pedogarchy a term yet?

I can’t believe Q didn’t know about all these *other* elite pedophiles

AI Powered NIMBYism- another great example of how AI is really great for serving illiberal minoritarian interests www.objector.ai

Aurora in Santa Fe tonight

This has Cicero Institute written all over it. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/utah...

This is a very big precedent for New Mexico and especially important for communities like Santa Fe and Taos who’s markets are dominated by luxury, mostly second homes. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

Being from Maine and watching the oppo research drop on Graham Platner, (coincidentally) the week after Mills announces her candidacy seems fishy. It’s disappointing to see the outrage posting without people reading the details. Not defending him but looks like online peope are taking the bait.

With the new 150% median income standard well over 50% of New Mexico’s population qualifies for assistance. We have to talk how this is largely going into inflationary consumer subsidies and our broken housing system. Either way it’s deeply unsustainable www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

quick explainer about why we get things we don’t want like car washes and storage units instead of starter housing in heavily land use restrictive places like Santa Fe

Just thinking of all the hoops you have to jump through to build or renovate affordable housing in the us

Massive crowd at the Santa Fe Roundhouse for #nokings
