Where else besides Boston can you get violently screamed at by another driver for going straight on green, thus preventing them from making a dangerous and illegal left on green in front of oncoming traffic?

When we build enough supply of homes so that landlords must compete, renters win. "The more properties there are, it drives all of us to lower rents and offer concessions" says the property manager pictured here. bendbulletin.com/2025/11/11/b...

Worth repeating: "Anything that arbitrarily raises the cost of homes even at the high end will have a domino effect that exacerbates the already cutthroat competition for new homes"

Such a bad idea. We have a massive housing shortage in Boston that drives up costs for everyone. Anything that arbitrarily raises the cost of homes even at the high end will have a domino effect that exacerbates the already cutthroat competition for new homes 1/ www.masslive.com/boston/2025/...

Ayanna Pressley, the YIMBY? The congresswoman has endorsed the @abettercambr1dge.bsky.social backed City Council incumbents in Tuesday's election, all of whom voted for that monumental citywide multifamily zoning reform earlier this year. Via @politico.com

Good move, but even affordable housing in Boston gets caught up in long permitting processes & and require extensive variances that drive up the cost and open the developments to bad faith abutter lawsuits. 1/ www.masslive.com/boston/2025/...

Zohran just said: "I am going to make it easier for the private sector to build housing in this city because what we see today is not labor, it's not materials, it's the wait that is actually costing so many, so much to build that housing" I wish we would hear that as clearly stated in Boston.

Given the desire for more action and dissatisfaction with current approaches, Boston residents showed broad support for a variety of policies that would make it easier to build more homes and increase housing choices. Support for these policies was strongest among renters and younger households.

These results align with surveyed attitudes on efforts to improve housing affordability. Three-quarters of residents say the City government is doing only a fair or poor job on efforts to make Boston more affordable

A new poll from the MassInc Polling Group, commissioned by AHMA, found that overwhelming majorities of Boston residents want the city to take stronger action to address the housing shortage. This support cuts across surveyed demographics, including renters and owners, neighborhood, and income.

📊 New poll: Bostonians want more housing. Large majorities of both renters + homeowners support bold reforms to tackle the city’s housing shortage — and most say not enough has been done. 🏙️ www.abundanthousingma.org/2025-city-of...

Great to see @abundanthousingma.org advocating that the Mayor use some of her political capital to push for substantive action on zoning reform and other efforts to increase housing supply in Boston.

Replace every closed Starbucks in Boston with Tatte.

Hard agree with @jerusalem.bsky.social: the Abundance movement does *not* want an abundance of Town Meetings. So much less adorable in real life than in Gilmore Girls. Right, @salimfurth.bsky.social @jessekb.bsky.social ?

This guy couldn’t be bothered to say a single word when one of his political allies assassinated the Speaker of the Minnesota House.

Well, if there is one thing that is clear from Tuesday's preliminary election results in Boston it's that we should build bike lanes everywhere.

The MA housing menu is broken—too few affordable options, too many zoning restrictions. The YIMBY Bill is the recipe for change. 🏡 Hearing Sept 17. 🍴 Sign the letter 🍴 Submit testimony 🍴 Share + spread the word Learn more at: www.abundanthousingma.org/takeactonyim...

It is only barely hyperbolic to say NIMBYism and the downstream effects of making affordable housing inaccessible are why Democrats have lost so much ground.

Housing abundance is good politics, pass it on.

Grateful for the shadows cast by tall buildings today. #shade #heatwave

Apropos of nothing...

In 2014 Prince debuted his third-eye sunglasses. Five years later, Minneapolis legalized triplexes throughout the city.

Friends doing a renovation came across this fantastic bit from the @bostonglobe.com in October, 1897 offering $1,000 for the best prediction of state elections.

Wow, I was just served this ad on another platform. The geography here - I didn't realize Dorchester was southwest of Brookline.

Jokes aside, and with all due respect... congratulations to @peteharrison860.bsky.social and the @desegregatect.bsky.social team for this amazing achievement!

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

Connecticut just adopted a MASSIVE pro-housing law that: - Ends costly parking mandates (1st state east of the Rockies to do so) - Incentives transit oriented development & fair share - Allows middle housing in commercial zones - Allows manufactured homes everywhere Go @desegregatect.bsky.social!

Cities choose to defer to a handful of noisy residents who are relatively insulated from high housing costs.

It's all about housing this week on the Horse Race. First, Jenn talks to @jessekb.bsky.social about a new @abundanthousingma.org poll (done by MPG). Then MPG's Olivia Wine joins to talk about a new report on the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program www.massincpolling.com/our-work/epi...

Good morning! New MPG poll out today, for @abundanthousingma.org, finds strong support for more housing, even at the local level. bankerandtradesman.com/survey-finds...
