What is wrong with me ... I meant to say TWO days. Y'all have two days before the T starts routing over Allentown: www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...

Right now is the sweet spot for T riders in Pittsburgh - direct service to Penn Station but no detour over Allentown (yet). Why can't it always be like this? 😭 Enjoy it for the next two weeks while we still can.

Pittsburgh is a city with a fairly stagnant household population and a steady decrease of residents.... And he's worried about "gentrifiers"? 🤔

Pittsburgh's IZ mandate in Lawrenceville has reduced housing production by 30% since 2019. Today, we publish our updated study (link in 🧵) analyzing Pittsburgh's IZ policy, including new analysis of proposed buildings, and displacement of Black residents.

IZ in Pittsburgh is having the opposite of its intended effect. For every 1 affordable unit IZ has created in Lawrenceville, it has killed ~7 market rate units. Killing 7 market rate units kills 2 affordable units. IZ is killing 2 affordable units for every 1 affordable unit it creates.

"American transit passenger surveys have found that improving service quality—not lowering fares—is the best way to boost rider welfare and attract those who would otherwise drive. That seems to be the case in Tallinn, too."

My fellow freshman, colleague and friend @kharimosley.bsky.social has been recommending this podcast to all of us. buff.ly/4g0PZwJ Over the break I had the opportunity to listen to it and it's greatly informed the way I want to talk about housing policy. Won't you take a listen?

Contrary to Barb's claim, the cost of the affordability mandate she advocates for is not tiny or properly compensated for by the government. Where it has been tried already, it has significantly reduced housing construction. Those harmed are primarily renters, not developers.
