When we organized Denver's single-stair design competition, THIS is the vision we had, that the creative vision for better housing designs be shared widely to build supply for single-stair reform. Thank you @yimbydenver.bsky.social for advocating for better housing and better cities for Colorado.

Great to see HB25-1093 signed! Our @yimbydenver.bsky.social & YIMBY Fort Collins chapters supported this bill and and their members testified on its behalf. The bill prohibits urban localities from reducing residential density without compensating for those lost homes elsewhere in the locality 👏

Ever wonder why apartment buildings look the way they do? I wrote an article on the building and zoning codes - such as height limits in the US and daylight access in China - that determine the design of apartments. worksinprogress.co/issue/chines...

Interested in supporting Colorado's Smart-Stair reform efforts? Register to testify on March 18 in support of HB25-1273 which would unlock small lot infill across the state by tailoring the building code to allow small apartments. @yimbydenver.bsky.social www.leg.state.co.us/clics/clics2...

“Neighbors protested the rezoning, complaining it might bring more traffic, parking issues and change the character of the neighborhood.” If you say this about a duplex meant for a family and their parents, you might just be a NIMBY. Shame on council for agreeing. www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

"HB25-1169 was inspired by the “Yes In God’s Backyard” movement, or YIGBY. Think of it like a religious counterweight to NIMBYism" You got that right. We at @yimbydenver.bsky.social are bringing in Jesus and the 12 to take on Kevin Broomer's anti-housing crusade. coloradosun.com/2025/02/06/y...
