Good morning! Here are a few more reasons I’m voting yes on Madison’s Municipal Referendum:
✅ supporting services for our elders.
✅ supporting affordable efforts to help folks housed.

A full BRT stop after a concert might be the biggest endorsement yet for transit in this city

The main thesis of @mnolangray's book (very simplified) is "zoning bad," but the thing that most stuck with me is the corollary: that as planners grew increasingly obsessed with zoning and the uses of privately owned land, we completely lost sight of the public realm.

The biggest thing that's within the city's control is the public realm. Downtown St. Paul is a really forbidding place to walk around right now.
More programming in public spaces, and a strong focus on safety, comfort and walk appeal, while the RE market has its painful reset.

The biggest event tonight (obviously) is Madison Common Council! Tonight the Northeast and West area plans are up for approval. Most controversial element is the proposed extension of Nakoosa Trail, & affordable student housing bonus floor policy .cityofmadison.com/city-hall/…

Hey folks, we’re also taking up the Northeast Area Plan tonight. We’re still over here on the east side existing. Also, over 400 folks have signed a petition opposing a proposed road through a portion of Sycamore Park. Residents are engaged over here too.

The City partnered with @UWMadison to conduct this Student Housing Market and Affordability Analysis, here are some takeaways I have as a leading member of this study group.
I'll also share more about how this data will be used immediately by the City.

#UWMadison officials say they’ll use a new analysis of the Madison housing market commissioned by the city and university to guide future policy decisions and better help students find the housing that best suits their needs and budgets.

"Housing is fundamental to making sure everyone can thrive & be successful in their life." Sheboygan, WI Mayor Ryan Sorenson @RyanSorensonWI gets it. He has worked tirelessly to improve existing housing stock & incentivize the development of new affordable homes. #YIMBYsForHarris

Housing Week Begins! We could probably just fix Madison's affordable housing problem by zoning the entire city to be at least as dense as Tenney-Lapham.

There is this pervasive idea in Madison that growth is out of control or not following a plan. In actuality, the growth is developing according to adopted plans. The BRT routes rely upon this fact, that they are located along locations of future increased density.
