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

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

ooof, half these responses should be disqualifying www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

Santa Fe is lucky to have a mayoral candidate like Oscar. Hopefully people will catch on. www.youtube.com/live/XgnwPQ1...

When I worked in a governor’s office- these kind of calls really made a difference- do it!

The "any solution but housing crowd" has found the bottom

Insight, foresight, more sight, the clock on the wall reads a quarter past midnight

A lockdown at my daughter’s school yesterday was adding to the dystopic feel of the last 36 hours. Come to find out it was probably related. JFC www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

One of the hardest parts lately has been watching people who I’ve really respected for they housing takes, completely blow it

Excited to be in Taos tomorrow for Taos Housing Partnership’s ongoing speaker series on housing issues. taoshousingpartnership.org/events/speak...

Housing wonks: is there an established methodology for estimating how many new housing units a community needs based on population, growth, HH size etc?

It’s like, have we just tried housing? It’s literally in the name of the problem

It amazing the lovely urban fabrics you can create when you don’t have to design around cars

My contribution to lowering the political density on here: morning on a salt marsh in Maine

In the west- we have plenty of land. It’s a lot of other issues- infrastructure, zoning, construction costs- that are holding back housing affordability.

Santa Fe County is 5% of New Mexico’s population but this data suggests 20% of the state’s homeless population. Wild. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

Also coming soon to state and federal governments near you.

we've lost one of the best.

As my therapist wisely warned- “beware jobs that require new wardrobes”

a timeless and near perfect profile piece from 20 years ago.

HB554 NM's first attempt at Statewide zoning reform died an unceremonious death at its last committee last night. Three dems joined the Republicans to vote it down 6-4. The bill would have legalized guest houses statewide and made it allowable to build housing in commercial zones and near rail stops

And a whole other host of things www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_v...

New Mexico has a record number of housing bills this year. As we close in on the last 10 days of the session I wanted to highlight some of the key bills that have movement. Overall they represent a really nice range of investments in supply, protections for existing housing, and regulatory fixes 🧵

HB554 statewide ADU legalization and by-right residential in commercial passed the NM House unanimously this afternoon 👀👀👀

Great news! A bill to tackle the housing crisis with a new Office of Housing Planning & Production passed the NM House with bipartisan support. It will boost housing options & reduce homelessness. Tell state senators to back it & send it to my desk before session ends! www.kunm.org/local-news/2...

HB488 New Mexico Office of Housing Planning and Production passed the House today 49-17 and moves on to the Senate. www.nmlegis.gov/Legislation/...

Housing winning this legislative session. HB335 middle housing tax credit and HB571 Building Housing Communities (statewide zoning frameworks) did well in committee this morning. SB205 Office of Housing Planning and Production is up this afternoon in SHPAC although it may get rolled to Friday

Didn’t ever expect to see years of housing policy gains wiped out in a morning

HB448- New Mexico Office of Planning and Production passed its first hearing this morning 6-2 heads to House Appropriations and Finance

How quaint this seems in retrospect en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorry_E...

Big 24 hours for housing Legislation in New Mexico: HB325- middle housing sales tax deduction passed 10-0, HB554 statewide ADU and residential in commercial passed first committee 4-2 and HB571 which creates a statewide model for best practice land use communities passed its first committee 5-0
