Great overview of the unique challenges to new housing production created by our outdated housing regulatory frameworks from @pewtrusts.org. This is one of the main reasons we're seeking to create a state housing office to work on these issues. www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-...

@govmlg.bsky.social calls for over $100m in new housing and homelessness investments and the creation of a state office of housing to tackle obstacles to new housing construction

Removing excessive parking requirements is probably the single most effective state level policy tool to get more housing. In many places the space required for parking and egress takes up more land area than a modest sized housing unit.

WA’s bill to cap parking mandates would swap excessive pavement for more trees, senior living, daycares, and lower-cost housing. #WAleg #ParkinginWA @citizen-cate.bsky.social @jessdbateman.bsky.social

We’re not talking enough about how climate disasters will impact housing construction. Homes replaced in Palisades will be competing for the same labor and materials as new homes at best- at worst take the place of new homes built.

Despite nearly 10% year-on-year increase in new homes nationally, NM is down 1.6% for the first 10 months of the year. We need to increase annual production significantly to close the 40k unit gap we now have statewide.

Utah’s pro housing campaign is 🤌🏼 Great to see some concerted approaches to counter some of the worst misconceptions around new housing. Would love to see something like this happen in NM www.demandmoresupply.com

Some thoughts in honor of President Jimmy Carter: everyone deserves a safe & healthy home. Private, public, & non-profit orgs all have important roles in providing more homes. If your local zoning or community engagement blocks Habitat for Humanity projects, maybe you’ve lost the big picture.

“A reform effort to end the 2nd-staircase requirement has shown a light on the need to improve the building code adoption process more broadly…policymakers are asking tough questions about whether their building codes based on the ICC model are compatible with their housing affordability objectives”
