Urban hype lady. Fellow @SSRC_Org + @NatGeo explorer. NYC raised, Copenhagen polished. Hot takes on cities, tech, housing, & 30s life. Too nice for Twitter!
Opinion | This November, New Yorkers have a rare chance to reshape the rules that have let NIMBYs stall housing production for decades. cityandstateny.com/opinion/2025/0…
Hey @XComms someone made a AI-generated image of me as a Nazi because I wrote an op-ed in favor of more housing production. I reported it and you said the image doesn't violate your community guidelines. How is that conceivable?
Someone photoshopped a poster of me as a “YIMBY Nazi.” The Charter Revision Commission opponents sure seem like delightful people !!!
Had a great conversation with @VitalCityNYC about my belief that government purchasing is key to unlocking the domestic modular industry. More soon on the theory and a big announcements re: how I’ve been working to put it into practice!
Is modular construction one worthwhile way to drive down housing production costs in New York? Jamie Rubin talks to @CaraEckholm. vitalcitynyc.org/articles/is-mo…
Fantastic discussion @VitalCityNYC @CaraEckholm on the ever-elusive holy grail of construction productivity, off-site construction. We need scale and cooperative local govt for this to work, but it could do so much to address the housing crisis. vitalcitynyc.org/articles/is-mo…

Our housing crisis is the greatest challenge facing our city, and the Charter Revision Commission must stay laser‑focused on fixing it. Facing staggering rents 150% higher than the national average, we urge them to place the four housing questions on the November 2025 ballot. 🧵
