My session is about how even - and especially - ordinary people can apply movement organizing principles to our housing problems of segregation, scarcity, and unaffordability.
#SXSW2024
Their three reasons are literally the reasons I’m attending. 😂 but I’m also so excited to get deep under the hood of operationalizing equity and meeting other folks doing exciting and reparative work.

"Criticism can, and perhaps should, actively participate in the grander project of radical, reparative world-building, while also holding powerful actors in...city-making accountable for lackluster justice initiatives."
@AnjulieRao makes revolution irresistible.
Yet more 🔥🔥🔥 from one of my favs, @AnjulieRao:
“No longer is this [merely] a question of who has nicer urban amenities; “who gets what” is a tired trope.”

Hey @Delta, your PHL gate agent for flight 1607 today could use some accessibility training. Playing power games with boarding access is not cool.
This is a large community, and there’s been a lot of momentum here behind work that matters. But it’s time to shift energy.
Because I care about relationships and how work gets done in the offlines, I’ll be switching my short-form energy to Bluesky for now.

Attending @ClimateInnov8's session on Participatory Policy Development...I feel like I've learned more before the first break than I have in a minute.

I keep a spreadsheet to help me remember what the heck I'm doing while I #AmQuerying, including noting who might feel really warm about the book I'm proposing.
I don't wanna jinx it, but this person just requested additional materials...

Housing Twitter is 🔥 this morning
Int’l, the @nytimes piece on Vienna housing, “A Renter’s Paradise”
N.Am., @alexbozikovic’s thoughtful critique of Toronto apt bldgs
U.S., @Harvard_JCHS about to drop their 2023 housing report
Local, @sstrudeau’s ADU thread
*bookmarks to read later*
*schedules “yelling into the ether about housing” shortly thereafter*
A good clear piece on Vienna housing, which notes (inter alia) that there is no housing shortage there. nytimes.com/2023/05/23/magaz…
My SOTU attendance record is spotty. But I never miss this report dropping or the discussion panel that accompanies it.
US housing markets continue to cool but home prices and rents remain high, leaving millions struggling with housing cost burdens, priced out of homeownership, or without shelter at all.
New #harvardhousingreport to be released June 21

My secret agenda: for Ann Arbor buildings to be so interesting that they merit analysis and criticism.
“Simple from a distance, interesting from up close.” My column on the right recipe for urban architecture: 🧵 theglobeandmail.com/arts/art…
I forgot whether I told y'all that I've been up to a conversation series the last couple of months?? Anyway, the last session in the series is tonight. No pre-reading required, just come for a thoughtful conversation about where we go from here. bit.ly/3MNC01L
