It was great talking with Alllstonia reporter, John Lin, about the Allston-Brighton Community Plan. Laying the groundwork for an abundant future where everyone can thrive! @planning.boston.gov allstonia.com/2025/11/23/t...

Come celebrate the pro-housing movement in Allston-Brighton December 18th!

@universalhub.com Brighton!

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Hope to see these in Massachusetts soon!

In America’s first public park, where Bostonians came together 400 years ago to protect a common space for the common good, we told the Trump Administration that when it comes to freedom and our families, Boston doesn’t back down. #NoKings

In downtown Portland, Unpresidented Brass Band is out in big numbers in their banana suits. Since their clarinet player was arrested at the ICE facility in Portland Sunday the band is “more resolute, actually, at this point, I think, than we were before,” said founder Miles Thompson.

Read this whole thread, and congratulations California YIMBY!

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Next Wednesday (Oct. 15) at 8:30-10 a.m. ET, I am doing a presentation and will answer questions for the AIA Massachusetts Government Affairs Committee about the single-stair bill in the state legislature. You can sign up here to attend, and there will be a Q&A: www.aiama.org/about/govern...

“How can Portland POSSIBLY stand against the might of the federal government?!” “Let me introduce you to our frog.”

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

We hope to see #Allston #Brighton folks at the AHMA Boston City Council At-Large Candidates Forum this Thursday! Easy ride via the 66 bus! Speak up for more housing!

“A lot of times, we’re reluctant to change on really dumb things.” Many of the rules shaping what we can and can’t build today were written 50–60 years ago. If we want to meet Massachusetts’ modern housing needs, everything should be on the table for reform. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/05/o...

Let's do this as well, Boston!

Time change for tonight's pro-housing Allston-Brighton Social at Speedway's Notch Brewing - 6-8pm! partiful.com/e/w61SArwhNq...

I support the #YIMBYBill because I want to see my neighbors be able to stay in Massachusetts. Massachusetts zoning laws ban most affordable housing types. The YIMBY Bill would fix that by legalizing starter homes, duplexes, townhomes + small apartments. #YesInMyBackYard #HomesWeNeed”

We'll be meeting in front of St Columbkille's Church, 321 Market St.

Join ABHA, Commonwheels, the Allston-Brighton Health Collaborative for an AB Bike Tour! Learn about the history and let's think together about the future of our neighborhood!

Lots of good ideas on this walk!

Allston-Brighton Housing Action is celebrating Allston Christmas a few days early!

I just rode a BlueBike across Cleveland Circle yesterday, it's nuts. And the subject of recent plans but no action yet.

Allston-Brighton Housing Action will be tabling at the Rat City Arts Festival, Saturday, August 16, 2:30-7, Charles River Speedway. Come support #Allston #RatCity artists and musicians, and then sign up for our pro-housing advocacy so we can all afford to stay here!

Getting into the weeds at the AB Communty Plan Focus Group with @abhousingaction.org was great. Our Allston-Brighton community has good bones, we need to work on making it welcoming and resilient for new generations! Thank you @planning.boston.gov !

I guess it's not about bike lanes after all...

Today! July 19, 10-12 noon, come talk housing and your hopes for Allston-Brighton!

So good to see Rita Hester honored in our community.

It should be great weather for this Housing Coffee Hour on Saturday! Thank you, @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social and Councilor Breadon for coming out to hear our hopes and dreams!

The Allston-Brighton Community Plan Open House was really informative. And A GREAT opportunity to talk with neighbors!

Tonight! July14! partiful.com/e/14ml7C6qif...

Reminder, this Monday! Come out to support housing in #Allston #Brighton! partiful.com/e/14ml7C6qif...

Hope to see folks in #Allston #Brighton at Smith Park to talk housing with our City Councilors Santana and Breadon July 19th! Co-hosted with Allston-Brighton Housing Action.

This is our chance to shape the future of our beloved Boston neighborhood (80,000 people and counting!). We need folks to come out to support more housing, safer mobility, and zoning reform!

#Allston #Brighton Community Plan Open House, Monday, July 14, 6-8pm! come out and support more housing and better mobility! we're meeting at the Elks Lodge in Brighton Center, 326 Washington St.

2 hours watching the Pride parade pass by at the Boston Common, and still no end in sight! A lot of proud #NoKings energy in #Boston

#NoKings #Boston

Boston is full of people who understood the assignment

Planning staff will be holding office hours at the Brighton Farmers Market (30 Chestnut Hill Avenue) this afternoon from 2-5 PM to hear your ideas and answer questions about the Allston-Brighton Community Plan. Join us! www.bostonplans.org/news-calenda...

New income-restricted housing on Western Ave in #Allston #Brighton

86 new income-restricted apartments at 50 Western Ave in #Allston will be available by lottery. The community worked hard to get these! Info sessions coming up over the next 7 days.

Good, if depressing thread about why our new apartment buildings in the US, including Boston

Office hours today (6/3) and over the next couple of weeks for the #Allston #Brighton Community Plan!

This is housing produced per decade in Massachusetts (the height of each bar). The color bands show distribution between highly walkable (very low VMT) and not walkable (very high VMT). From the Terner Center at UC Berkeley, ternercenter.berkeley.edu/blog/buildin...

It was so good to see residents of all ages and business owners sharing what they love about #Allston #Brighton and learning about resources to help folks have a future here.

I can't believe drive-through country of Connecticut will reform parking statewide before we will.

This will be a great opportunity to share stories and talk about solutions to grow our neighborhood so that people and businesses can thrive.

Good news about Squares + Streets zoning getting approved in Roslindale Square. Looking forward to planning and zoning reform in #Allston #Brighton. Too many of our neighbors are having to leave due to housing costs. More housing, more options.
