Single stair reform in my backyard 🥑🏗️

Housing. Infrastructure. Clean energy. When communities say yes, New York will LET THEM BUILD.

NEW: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s hand-picked school board president just launched an investigation into whether elected school board members leaked news of a special meeting to pass a $25M property tax hike between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Why should a public meeting to hike property taxes be a secret? And why is a mayoral appointee investigating elected school board members for informing the public about such a meeting? Johnson and Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates have heavily criticized previous appointed school boards for withholding information from the public. They have been silent about this.

Should San Francisco allow a 25 story apartment tower to be built on top of the Marina Safeway? Probably not. I'm as YIMBY as they come. But 25 stories in a neighborhood where everything is 3 to 4 stories seems excessive. 🧵

Jerome Powell on the housing market: - "The housing market faces some really significant challenges and I don't know that a 25-basis point decline in the Federal Funds Rate is going to make much of a difference for people." - "Housing supply is low, many people have very, very low-rate mortgages from the pandemic period." - "And they kept refinancing and caught the really low so it's maybe expensive for them to move. - "Also, we haven't built enough housing in the country for a long time." "We just need more housing." "We can raise and lower interest rates but we don't really have the tools to address, you know, a secular housing shortage, a structural housing shortage."
