De stukken voor de omgevingsvergunning van Porterhouse liggen ter inzage. Als alles goed gaat ligt er na de zomer een onherroepelijke vegunning en kunnen ze de bouw gaan voorbereiden! Ruim 130m moet hij worden, pal naast metrostation Rijnhaven en onderin ruimte voor 2 supermarkten. Zondag in onze nieuwsbrief meer info. Architect: Dedrie Architecten. #bouwen #yimby #architecture #rotterdam #hoogbouw #skyscraper #skyline #katendrecht

Het bestemmingsplan en omgevingsvergunning voor Havenziekenhuis zijn onherroepelijk. Dat betekent dat de bouw hier van start kan. Aan weerszijden van het te renoveren Havenziekenhuis uit 1937 komen woontorens van 110 en 70m met in totaal 380 woningen.

Ran across this neat new development where they added 5 new houses to a lot behind an existing one. It may have been conjured overnight with some sort of #YIMBY magic, since even the google satellite view that claims to be from 2026 does not show any sign of construction.

Disappointing election in #Montreal for housing, parties still have a dated “we will literally build the affordable housing” approach.
On the bright side it’s great that @CraigSauve boldly put #ProRep on the table and that two #YIMBY members of @construisonsmtl ran in #Westmount with Jessica Winton also supporting #ElectoralReform
Every progressive should have it in their platform, why not? You don’t have to make it the core of the campaign, just have it there. -

#California Gov #Newsom signs #ScottWiener bill to bulldoze over opposition to expansion of #housing density and residential construction projects along key rail transit corridors.
New #Yimby law "Abundant & Affordable Homes Near Transit Act" (#SB79) creates less restrictive state #zoning codes, limits options for those seeking to stall plans, restrict density or halt new housing near transit stations.
Opposition to legislation included exburb #NIMBY #realestate investors who fear #construction of potential seven story condo bldgs near rail transit corridors that would destroy perception of aesthetic quaintness of #suburbs like Burlingame, or Petaluma etc.
Earlier this summer #GovNewsom signed similarly YIMBY-backed #legislation to exempt most urban apartment projects from #CEQA reviews, the state’s signature environmental protection law. “Go YIMBYs,” Newsom said when signing that bill into law.
The state's "housing crisis" conditions in which distinct lack of rental unit availability, and #Prop13 tax measure after effects etc, have all spiked the price of basic housing options, and put vast swaths of not particularly exceptional suburbs amongst the nation's highest priced #realestate markets.
“In California we talk a lot about where we don’t want to build #homes, but rarely do we talk about where we do—until now,” said law sponsoring state senator Wiener in a statement about his fourth in a decade long attempt to get similar laws passed. “SB 79 unwinds decades of overly restrictive policies that have driven housing costs to astronomical levels, forcing millions of people away from #jobs and #transit and into long commutes from the #suburbs or out of the state entirely. It has been a long road to tackling these decades-old problems, but today’s signing marks a new day for #AffordableHousing in California.”

Then vs now.
At Årstaberg station (commuter rail & LRT ring line) just outside inner city Stockholm. Big redevelopment ongoing. Low rise light industry to high rise residential (fairly urban). Including eastern entrance going from stairs & ramp up to narrow shared use path, to a a plaza with nice ramp & stairs, wide pedestrian + cycling bridge across, and a big grocery store coming!
Other side getting somewhat redeveloped soon too. -

The Case for More Housing: Shaping Sustainable Communities
Our neighborhoods are evolving, and the choices we make today about housing and development will define our community’s future. By embracing forward-thinking policies and higher-density housing, we can address the housing crisis, reduce commutes, and create vibrant, sustainable communities. Imagine neighborhoods where homes are closer to jobs and schools, businesses flourish with increased foot traffic, and public spaces become greener and more accessible. Let’s move beyond division and commit to a shared vision of inclusivity and progress—one that benefits everyone.

It will take a little longer for a slightly freer housing market to provide some possibly cheaper new homes in Arlington now that a judge has thrown a stop sign in front of my county’s attempt to allow multiple-family housing on lots formerly reserved for single-family housing.
Retired Fairfax County judge David Schell (picked by Virginia’s Supreme Court after all of Arlington’s active judges recused themselves) ruled Friday that Arlington’s “Expanded Housing Options” liberalization of by-right zoning failed four procedural tests.
Per a recap in a newsletter published by EHO opponents, Schell held that the Arlington County Board did not start the zoning-amendment process correctly, did not analyze possible EHO effects on such local infrastructure as parking spaces and sewer capacity, should have required a County Board approval of each EHO permit, and did not comply with tree-coverage standards in Virginia law.
I would point to Schell’s ruling here, but coverage from ArlNow and the Washington Post indicate that he only read it from the bench and has yet to post a copy of it anywhere. Which, this far into the 21st century, should be an impeachable offense by itself.
The County Board posted a statement Friday that said it was “reviewing the decision and “determining the appropriate next steps to properly adhere to the ruling” and was “exploring potential options moving forward, including appeal.”
(Ritual disclosure: My wife works for Arlington’s government but did not have a say in EHO.)
Absent a PDF from the judge to peruse, I may be missing some nuances of this rebuke of the partial deregulation of what affordable-housing advocates often call “missing middle” housing–because this category of residence falls between standalone houses and apartments. But here’s what I think I know:
• The ticky-tack fouls called here seem curable with further rounds of rulemaking by the County Board. But that work will not be free, which bothers me more than usual given that we pay the second half of our property taxes next month.
• Schell’s ruling does nothing to stop the plague of teardowns that is steadily destroying older, smaller houses and replacing them with gargantuan, $2 million-plus McMansions that only dual-lawyer couples can afford.
• I’ve yet to see EHO/missing-middle opponents offer a serious argument about how they would slow the teardown-to-McMansion epidemic under the older rules that required lawyers-needed site plan permits for duplexes and anything more dense than a single-family home.
• If it’s a problem for speculative developers to build missing-middle housing that they can then rent out–a risk I often see raised on my neighborhood’s mailing list–how is that not an issue for single-family housing?
• Many missing-middle opponents around here keep describing their opposition as total–their yard signs often denounce even legalizing duplexes. That does not strike me, living next door to an older house now rented out as multiple apartments, as reasonable or constructive opposition.
• Here’s why: Arlington, like many other localities, effectively banned duplexes, row houses, and other kinds of missing-middle housing in the 1930s and 1940s for objectively racist reasons.
• It’s a basic free-market principle that if you want to make something cheaper, you make more of it. Why is that so hard for people to understand in the housing market?

It will take a little longer for a slightly freer housing market to provide some possibly cheaper new homes in Arlington now that a judge has thrown a stop sign in front of my county’s attempt to allow multiple-family housing on lots formerly reserved for single-family housing.
Retired Fairfax County judge David Schell (picked by Virginia’s Supreme Court after all of Arlington’s active judges recused themselves) ruled Friday that Arlington’s “Expanded Housing Options” liberalization of by-right zoning failed four procedural tests.
Per a recap in a newsletter published by EHO opponents, Schell held that the Arlington County Board did not start the zoning-amendment process correctly, did not analyze possible EHO effects on such local infrastructure as parking spaces and sewer capacity, should have required a County Board approval of each EHO permit, and did not comply with tree-coverage standards in Virginia law.
I would point to Schell’s ruling here, but coverage from ArlNow and the Washington Post indicate that he only read it from the bench and has yet to post a copy of it anywhere. Which, this far into the 21st century, should be an impeachable offense by itself.
The County Board posted a statement Friday that said it was “reviewing the decision and “determining the appropriate next steps to properly adhere to the ruling” and was “exploring potential options moving forward, including appeal.”
(Ritual disclosure: My wife works for Arlington’s government but did not have a say in EHO.)
Absent a PDF from the judge to peruse, I may be missing some nuances of this rebuke of the partial deregulation of what affordable-housing advocates often call “missing middle” housing–because this category of residence falls between standalone houses and apartments. But here’s what I think I know:

Season 4 episode 8: Easing the Housing Crisis By Saying Yes, in My Backyard with Melissa Bowman
You’ve heard of NIMBYs and NIMBYism, and you probably are living with the consequences of neighbourhood planning or city policies influenced by landowners who say “Not in My Backyard” to new developments planned in their area. But what about YIMBYs? The name might be strange, but the homeowners who make up these groups say “Yes In My Backyard” to normalize the goals of affordable housing advocates, transit planning, tenants’ rights organizations and others who are working towards making the city a more liveable place to be for everyone.
Today on the podcast, Ariel talks to Melissa Bowman, cofounder of the group Waterloo Region Yes In My Backyard (WRYIMBY) about what a YIMBY group is, what some actions are that it might take, the issues that it might address, and how to start up a YIMBY group in your area, if there’s not one already!

San Franciscans, and especially Bernalians, it’s a day ending in -y so another chance to sign a letter encouraging the city not to allow an aesthetics-based veto of affordable housing on (checks notes) a lot that has had the burnt-out-shell of a building for nearly a decade.
