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...
Stephen Jacob Smith “I feel like a prisoner in my own rent-stabilized apartment.” I suspect $1,832 for a prewar studio apartment would be above the market-clearing rate in Harlem even with the current housing shortage in an alternative reality without rent stabilization.
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-...

Sign the petition and tell LA City Council to stop delaying.👇 https://actionnetwork.pulse.ly/ungg0g2uca
Abundant Housing Illinois The Shape Oak Park study found a plethora of nonconforming multi-family homes in areas with R1-R4 zoning, which allows only single-family housing to be built. These "middle housing" types would not be permitted to be built (or rebuilt) today. (Nonconforming homes are shown in orange on the map.)
California YIMBY Median first-time buyer age has held near 32 to 35, but the Urban Institute finds young adult home purchases fell over 26% from 2021 to 2024. A steady median hides fewer buyers, and those still buying increasingly have cash or family help. www.urban.org/urban-wire/f...
