@yimbyalliance households widely choose smaller & lower 'quality' homes to avoid threshold where architect is required & adds costs; which fosters housing segregation. From intriguing @LevyAntoine, "Regulating housing quality: evidence from France." At sites.google.com/view/antoine-l… via @yimbyalliance

In the late 1970s, France started to require an architect for every new home with over 170 sq m of floor space. Here is the distribution of new home sizes after the change:

spend $45k to put unsheltered homeless into apartment for 1 year, or $20k to hire them to help design & build permanent(able) homes of their own? My testimony today at @MultCo (Portland) budget hearing, for a pilot comparing approaches: youtube.com/watch?v=LwQ7wr… (at around 54:00)

@surlyurbanist @DanImmergluck @alon_levy @amandakhurley @CassCommunity there's a pattern here that comes up in a lot of discussions. When/why does exploring alternate, partial, or interim responses to a problem create a problem? (i.e., divert resources, offer fallacious or unscalable answer, impair advocacy/organizing agenda..)

@mattyglesias in #homelessness advocacy, opposing restriction or removal of public encampments has long been a major focus, & it often called 'criminalization'. Why so, & how helpful & winnable, imo hard to say. @housing_wiki article on history, laws, studies, alt views housing.wiki/wiki/Homeless_…

Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias

The humane solution is to legalize more and more varied forms of home-building, not decide we should turn parks and other public places into tent cities. slowboring.com/p/legalize-hou…

@mkaiasand #JolenesFirstCousin was developed to create *new* housing for formerly houseless, by factoring in rent assistance/SSI. We could expand this approach to create many, low-cost, no-upfront-subsidy, low-cost *new* homes, much more helpful & scalable than just reallocating existing.

@SonjaTrauss @Key_Z_E @BenRossTransit @emilymbadger @qdbui speculative *development*, or building, uses prospective gain for useful ends like new housing; speculative *ownership* seeks/receives gain for mostly inaction, is far more pervasive & larger, unproductive, even harmful. The key point of @SonjaTrauss's & my book @BuildersApology

The pandemic housing market has created wealth on a vast scale for just about anyone who owns a home. It’s inseparable from the housing affordability crisis for anyone who doesn’t: nytimes.com/2022/05/01/ups… With @qdbui

@ethanplans @andersem @ShaneDPhillips @MobileDwellings @GrahamPruss @TinyHouseX @TinyHomesRule @alexschafran a direction whereby #OHNA might be transformational, imo, is by setting housing outcome targets—I'd suggest, by eg price:income ratios, not unit production counts —and then rewarding fulfillment by diverse and most efficient means. This is quite unlike how done now, see 🧵:

@EvaTwoPointOh @mkaiasand @megloeb @MarcJolin1 @multco_johs @homeforwardnews @taylorsmiley5 @HereTogetherOR as in most places, in Portland govts are creating new, income-segregated dedicated-affordable housing at costs probably huge multiples of other possible low-cost options. Eg, $460k/unit #Alder9, $420k #BarburApartments. Consider how many ADUs might be incented at much lower cost:

@alexschafran "The need for temporary housing is permanent." excellent essay by Alex Schafran on a fundamental yet constantly denied & shunned dimension of dwelling. You could also say, all dwelling & building is temporary, just to different degrees. c/@HousingAlterna #mobiledwellings

Temporary Housing is Permanent. Let's make peace between permanent and temporary housing. We need both. New Bigger Ideas post! alexschafran.substack.com/p/temporary-ho…
