Black History Month reminds us: housing policy was never neutral.
Redlining and exclusionary zoning were deliberate choices, and we can choose differently today.
Building more homes in every neighborhood is part of undoing that legacy.

YIMBY Action and our California chapters are endorsing Michael Tubbs for Lt. Governor!
We need strong pro-housing leaders who are ready to take bold action to create abundant housing. We're excited to support Michael's campaign!
Gov. Pritzker:
"Let's start with housing. The problem is clear: Rent is too high, and home ownership is too far out of reach. The cause is clear too.
We are not building enough homes fast enough...we will need to build 227,000 more homes by 2030 to keep up with demand."
@govpritzker.illinois.gov is looking to BUILD in Illinois 👀
We love to see it! Pro-housing solutions need to be top of mind if we want our communities to become more affordable, sustainable, and inclusive.

A bold up-zoning proposal is taking shape in Denver 🏙️
Our YIMBY Denver chapter is drafting a ballot initiative to allow more housing near transit and parks — unlocking more townhomes, condos, and apartments.
Still early, but it could spark a citywide conversation about how Denver grows. 🏡
Friendly reminder that building housing like this is illegal in a lot of places.
Make it make sense. 🤔
