A list of YIMBY pro-housing activism accounts on Bluesky. International in scope (though right now mostly Australians and Americans). Maintained by @andrew.donnellan.id.au, ping him with suggestions.
California YIMBY A study finds that large mixed-income projects built in Massachusetts from 2002 to 2019 did not hurt town finances. New tax revenue covered the cost of new residents, and schools, safety, and traffic showed no measurable decline. ideas.repec.org/a/eee/jhouse...

Parking Reform Network Parking reform works best when it solves problems people already care about: Housing. Small business. Downtowns. Adaptive reuse. Transportation choice. Public space. Have a recent local parking reform win? We want to hear about it.

California YIMBY Rent burden, the share of income spent on rent, makes San Francisco look as affordable as Cleveland, a new paper finds.

California YIMBY About 30% of low-income households have no car, Pew Research Center's Alex Horowitz says. Parking mandates can force builders to build fewer apartments to fit required spaces, and fewer homes mean higher rents. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/r...
California YIMBY In nine states and D.C., Pew finds that 16% to 34% of poverty traces to above-average housing costs. If reforms cut rents by 20%, as in Austin and Minneapolis, poverty could fall by 18% to 26%. www.pew.org/en/research-...
