NB_Brendan Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Hey guys! Today I'm *officially* launching my blog about all things in and around Houston, primarily focusing on urbanism and development within the city. I would love for you all to check it out, and subscribe if you think you'll enjoy the writing! My first post is about YIMBYism and why I think it's such an important issue. I'll be posting 3x weekly on MWF at 12:00 pm Central time. If you have any suggestions about the content, ideas you'd like me to write about, or anything please feel free to let me know! Thank you all for helping to inspire this with this forum. Why I'm a YIMBY 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NB_Brendan Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Houston’s leadership has failed us. At this rate, our young adults will never be able to afford a house in a dense urban area.

NB_Brendan Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 Was able to get access to my Brendan_NB account again. Hopefully I'm not locked out again. I think I was just posting my own stuff too much. Todays post is about the missing middle housing between apartments and single family homes.

NB_Brendan Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 Houston is facing a housing crisis that affects thousands of low-income residents who struggle to find decent and affordable places to live. The city needs more housing options that cater to the needs of its diverse and growing population, especially those who earn less than 60 percent of the area median income. One way to create more affordable housing is to use public facility corporations (PFCs), which local housing authorities can create and which can give developers tax breaks in exchange for reserving some of their units for low-income renters.

More steps towards YIMBY goals. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-21/houston-s-climate-plan-could-make-it-a-green-model Edited May 14, 2023 by __nevii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
