Summary of the most important supply-oriented parts of the bill, including directing HUD to produce best practice zoning guidelines, streamlining environmental review, grants for places adopting pro-housing policies, manufactured housing reforms, and loan policy for multifamily.

Reviewing typeset pages of my new book - coming in February 2026. 🥳 (It’s available for preorder now if you’re so inclined; preorders really help!)

I’m trying to set up internet at a place I’m moving into, and the level of non-linearity of what should be a very simple process makes this almost seem like a prank.

Appalachian Power lost $81 million operating its three WV coal plants in the 12 months ending in February, according to new PSC testimony. That's double what the company previously disclosed. wvpublic.org/story/energy-e…

As an affordable housing builder deeply engaged in Austin housing politics, I can tell you this video straddles the line between misinformed and outright lying. Musk and Thiel aren’t involved in Austin housing policy *at all* (Probably why it presents no actual evidence of that.)

I'll add: New housing, with fewer bedrooms and yards, is also not always family-friendly. But the empty nesters who can afford to live in the new building vacate their old home, which is family-friendly. The family-friendly benefits of new housing are indirect as well.

It's difficult to underscore just how many ideas and reforms are inside this big bipartisan housing bill. And it's a huge achievement that its got full buy-in from the leadership of the Senate Banking Committee. Here's just a taste:

YIMBYtown in New Haven is going to be incredible this year. An awesome time to celebrate the bipartisan momentum for pro-housing reforms across the country and continue to work toward doing even more. Check out the set of topics and speakers here: yimby.town/schedule-2/

This mega-package of bipartisan bills has been our full-time job since we started the team in 2022 What began as just "HOTMA 2.0" has snowballed into a serious down payment on housing that picks the low-hanging fruit, puts up real wins, & builds a bipartisan coalition for more!

Excited to see the bipartisan work here!

This Senate Banking package is a watershed moment in federal housing policy--chassis reform, Build More Housing Near Transit, Housing Supply Frameworks, & a brand new set of carrots & sticks based on housing production outcomes! Full @NotebookLM-queryable text in next tweet

Just learned that our “Rethinking Load Growth” paper is the most-downloaded publication in the 20yr history of @DukeU @NichInstitute, by a large margin.

The cost of housing is just too high, forcing people to endure longer commutes and worsening our climate crisis. My Build More Housing Near Transit Act will encourage the construction of low- and middle-income housing in transit-served, walkable locations.

"The public is already frustrated with government for unkept promises and sluggish services. If our leaders simply manage cuts to avoid upheaval, that frustration will only rise. Now is the time for intelligent disruption." Extremely sharp from @pahlkadot and @robertmgordon.

Weakening city council members ability to veto land use changes is the best argument *for* the charter revisions. The reforms will lead to much more meaningful democratic input and responsiveness to a broader public.

📉 The U.S. built just 322 miles of major transmission in 2024. That’s less than 10% of what’s needed annually to keep the grid reliable and affordable. If we don’t build the grid, strategic industries can’t build their future. Learn more: bit.ly/4f1Beea
