Can we solve housing affordability by targeting corporate landlords? I look into it. Tomorrow! #AffordableHousing

I saw this mama deer and her two littles earlier in my hike, and was tracking them. So I knew they'd pop up over this rise and I was able to get a video of them. Aren't they so cute??

This reads to me almost exactly the way "capitalism is the problem" reads: .Completely useless in prescribing any kind of path forward.

What makes NM special is not that we're uniquely capitalistic, I feel pretty sure. It's that we're not building. We need more housing. #YIMBY #homelessness .

Well, at least lawyers benefit from the enormous pile of paperwork. The climate? Working people? Renters? Not so much.

I'm eating at a nice restaurant outdoors, great setting, except for the woman conducting a business call next to me. Why is it so much more annoying to listen to someone talking loudly on the phone in public than it is to listen to two people talk loudly to each other in public?.

My latest piece is about how housing (dense, infill housing specifically) is a key ingredient to fighting climate change

RT @jimodonnell2: #NewMexico and #Colorado need to do this.

Other than my dog-rattlesnake story, this back-n-forth with @StrongTowns Chuck Marohn has been by far the most popular thing I've written. And now that Mamdani won the primary and Abundance is even more buzzy, it just keeps going! Fruitful discussions FTW.

I had the Maya Rudolph horrified face meme going the entire time I watched this.

Everyone is on here like "Is Substack down for everyone or just me?".(It appears to be everyone)

I always vote based on the merits of a case as presented, no pre-judgment. This was a clear-cut case. People make arguments to try to persuade commissioners. Sometimes they make good arguments. This was not a good argument on its face, regardless of my pain, my history.

Last night, at a planning meeting, a NIMBY tried to use a fatal crash that happened in 1988 to block new housing. What they didn't know: I survived that very crash, and I was not having it. Do not use someone's tragedy to prevent humans from being housed. Not MY tragedy, anyway.
