Thank you for live tweeting the Town Hall!

I have YIMBY planner friends who swear up and down that these views are anything but hegemonic in planning but they’re not. The planning profession by-and-large believes the San Francisco model works. It’s near a consensus position.

Chicken pox vaccine!

This @ggwash.org article about why DC needs 250,000 new homes by 2050 is fantastic, and I would love it if someone would run this analysis for Arlington! ggwash.org/view/104616/...

Don't ban people when you want to ban cars!

Good karma is when you are wondering what to do with your 6 year old at 3pm on Sunday and someone in the WhatsApp groups invites you to a block party with a bounce house.

On Oct 26, the Arlington County Board is holding a Town Hall. Tell them that we need bold action on housing! www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket...

This morning, man came to public comment to complain about 3 EHO (Missing Middle) permits on his street. We chatted afterward and it turns out he owns and rents out multiple small apartment buildings.

YIMBYs of NoVA is having a Fall Social on Sunday, October 18! Stop by between 12-3pm. We'd love to meet you and talk about how we can work together to advance abundant housing in our region. actionnetwork.org/events/yimby...

As a driver, I want physically separated lanes for bikes As a pedestrian, I want physically separated lanes for bikes Also as a cyclist, I want physically separated lanes for bikes

Do you honestly think Elon Musk could use a credit card on his own? Do you think he could actually write something longer than a stupid post on X by himself? All of these guys' ideas reflect their utter helplessness, full stop.

Holy shit.

Just a fun Sunday evening using vlookup and pivot tables on some Arlington property tax data...

Wouldn't this be great to have in Arlington? Car-free streets for the most dangerous day of the year for child pedestrians. (Regardless, don't drive on Halloween unless you absolutely need to)

Arlington rents keep rising. We aren't full, and we need more apartments! www.arlnow.com/2026/10/02/a...

@rorystolzenberg.bsky.social made this amazing interactive map of Arlington's General Land Use Plan (GLUP) Map from 1961 to 2024. Take a look and see how little has changed in 60 years: rorystolzenberg.github.io/arlington-gl...

Stop in game interviews!

🔥 👇 I've seen NIMBYs using TOD language as an argument against adding apartment, so I think this is pretty spot-on. TOD *should* mean that we get apartments next to every bus stop.

Like, regulations that establish decreasing density at arbitrary distances from higher-order transit stations are pure political compromises, with no scientific evidence, and a caricature of how market forces work (or how laypeople think they work).

@nathanielcgreen.bsky.social I think you were at this game!

Tell the Arlington County Board that it's time to 'Up the GLUP'! actionnetwork.org/letters/time...

This is heart-breaking. I'm starting to let my 10 year old bike in the neighborhood on his own and I worry about drivers. We need serious road diets along all streets, especially around schools and parks.

Come tell APS to keep AI out of our classrooms.

I am perfectly open to the idea that some of the data center panic is overblown, what I am telling u is I don’t care

Thrilled to be among the faces of @yimbyaction.bsky.social Membership Month campaign this year! We would love more people to join our merry band of housing advocates. I promise we have lots of fun, and we make a difference. New members get a tshirt! yimbyaction.donorsupport.co/page/members...

Overblown or not, the AI industry isn't even trying to make an affirmative case for them. Gas turbines, constant noise, high water demands--oh, okay, is this for an emergency hospital after a disaster? No? It's just so rich people who will never even visit here can become even richer? Then no.

ACTION ALERT 🚨 Right now, the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill to restrict bike lanes. Tell Congress: funding for bike safety projects MUST continue! Take action: action.bikeleague.org/page/101946/...

We have to hold these people to account for the damage they are doing.

New study suggests that a shortage of secure bike parking is limiting e-bike adoption. Glad to see this issue getting attention. It's intuitive that people with quasi-secure bike storage might be OK risking a pedal bike, but not an e-bike that's more expensive. doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

Set the stage for 30 years of transportation improvements in Arlington. Help us get the final details of Arlington's new transportation right! A comprehensive network for bikes & scooters, safe accommodations during construction, and more! susmo.org/arlingtons-t...

The Archive but it's a videogame from 1998.

Cheryl Reeve’s shirt today:

65,000+ residents (and growing!) live on the Ballston-Rosslyn corridor in one of the most transit rich areas in the country, we should have a community center that serves us!

Not a single-family home, not an apartment tower, but something in between. Let’s talk about Missing Middle Housing! What is it and why is it missing? Watch the video and stick around to learn more!

Make a difference in Rosslyn! Tomorrow (Thu 7/16) is the Rosslyn Transportation Open House from 7-8:30pm - give feedback on two great transportation projects! Meet up with fellow advocates for happy hour at Upside on Moore from 5pm-7pm and we'll walk over together! susmo.org/core-of-ross...

A fellow YIMBY is help me dig into the history of Arlington's General Land Use Plan. More to come, but my bottom line is that not much has changed in over 60 years. It is time to modernize the GLUP.

Bring back Book It!

Pizza Hut is looking for ways to reconnect with customers after years of restaurant closures and shifting consumer tastes. Some fans say the path forward may actually lie in looking back at its era of colorful lamps hung over checkered tablecloths.

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

If your understanding of yourself as a man is rooted in power and dominance over others, that's shitty masculinity, wherever you claim to be on the political spectrum. Shitty masculinity is antithetical to civic virtue and a functioning democratic society.
