Mom and pop housing providers have been begging for a seat at the table for years. We are the largest segment of rental property ownership yet excluded from policy discussions. Instead, policy makers have relied on tenant "advocate" lobbyist insulated by their DC white papers. – at Hammond, IN
1. Mom-and-pop landlords lost less rental income than expected.

The Indiana Republican Party is going down in flames. I’m not sure that they have any idea how to play from behind or a tie after decades of supermajority rule, or how they’ll learn.
Suggesting Bayh fix a persistent problem that Mr. Ireland’s supermajority never cared to address, while his party is still in control as the failures are happening, is a shocking amount of hypocrisy.
Unlike all other Hoosiers, Ireland and his party had no reason to care until now.

Here we see the development of Hoosier conservative anti-capitalism. We’ve been lucky that this hasn’t been a live force in American politics but Trump has been a force enabling the development of all these alien forms of conservatism that Reagan worked so hard to ostracize.
Hamilton County’s political shift over the past decade should be a wake-up call for Indiana.
We need to seriously rethink our approach to residential development. Instead of prioritizing massive apartment complexes and high-density housing, we should be encouraging single-family homeownership, strong neighborhoods, and communities where families can put down roots for generations.
Growth alone isn't success. The question is whether we're building communities that preserve the character, traditions, and values that have made Indiana such a great place to live.
Indiana shouldn't sacrifice its small-town identity and family-centered communities in the name of unchecked development.
Let's build more homes (not apartments), strengthen homeownership, and protect the Hoosier way of life! 🇺🇸
(Oh… and then DON’T TAX THE HOME!)
Not a peep about the rampant protest of new housing supply, or the fact the municipal lobby just killed housing supply bills across the Midwest. Just a wholly unserious group, the largest trade association in the country has become.
During a state and local issues roundtable at #NARNXT, panelists discuss how local governments and REALTORS® can turn federal housing reforms into meaningful action to expand housing supply and affordability. nar.realtor/news/real-estate…
What happens when you defund police, firefighters and schools across the state in an effort to give property tax breaks to senior citizens?
The Hoosier GOP Supermajority found out this week.
Now, their woke cancel the property tax plan is dead in the water.

Opinion: Republican leaders' big plans to slash property taxes won't happen now that they've lost their House supermajority. indystar.com/story/opinion/c…
As I've been saying, Illinois literally cannot afford the beloved Bears
🏈 It just got way harder for the Chicago Bears to stay in Illinois.
District 214 voters just approved another massive property tax hike.
Our estimate: $47.7 MILLION in additional taxes on the proposed Bears development over 25 years.
Will Gov. Pritzker and Springfield lawmakers give the Bears a special exemption?
If they do, how much of that burden gets shifted onto homeowners and businesses?
Illinois' already-high property taxes are making it harder to attract and retain major investments. This is one more potential obstacle. We need a property tax cap!

America is not a far-left or far-right country.
We are a moderate country of people who largely want the same things:
Safer streets.
Better schools.
Healthier environment.
Stronger economy.
Opportunity for everyone.
Focusing on problems within our own borders.
No culture wars.

Single family neighborhoods do not cover the cost of service due to property tax caps as part of SB 1. The anti-density, anti-property tax crowd does not want you to have roads, schools, or police. Remember that.

The cancel property tax boomer commies have found the reason they lost bigly, we built too much housing!
"if you aren't growing, you're dying.”
That's been the philosophy behind @ctjensen approach to Noblesville.
But when @RobMKendall pointed out that Noblesville and Hamilton County are turning blue, partly because of all the high-density housing bringing in new residents, Jensen didn't want to acknowledge the political consequences of that growth.
Instead, he suggested the answer is better messaging, telling the story of Noblesville, and educating newcomers about the community's history.
So after years of championing growth, the plan to keep Noblesville from turning blue is apparently to.......give newcomers a history lesson?
This is the same "muh GDP" Chamber cuck mindset that helped cost Republicans the midterms. Endless talk about growth, development, and economic numbers while ignoring the people, their concerns, and whether any of it is actually making their lives better.
This is where the rubber hits the road. Midterms over. The veto session is upon us. Time to decide, do you want to pay to keep the Bears, or no.

Earlier this week, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell accompanied #Bears officials Kevin Warren and George McCaskey to a meeting with Illinois legislative leaders in Chicago. They promised to have continued conversations about a path forward for a stadium in Arlington Heights or Chicago.

Notably in Texas' blue wave, there's starkly contrasting views of rental housing between the new Governor and Lt. Governor, both Democrats:
Gov-elect Hinojosa: References "predatory landlords" and incorrectly says "rent has surged" (rents in Texas have grown below U.S. average over last decade, and have fallen in last 4 years-- especially her city of Austin), blaming AI and "price gouging." Wants to limit investors buying houses, blaming them for pricing out homebuyers without mentioning Texas ranks in bottom 15 among states for home price growth in last 10 years.
Lt. Gov-elect Goodwin: Cut property taxes for single-family rental owners who agree to rent caps (i.e. funded, opt-in rent control, a win/win), and "streamline local permitting processes and reduce unnecessary regulations that drive up housing costs."
The new Lt. Gov gets it... it's all about supply and demand. You get to solutions by working together, not by pointing fingers and peddling click-baity conspiracy theories.
Goodwin is also example of how business-friendly Democrats in places like Texas and Florida may prevent the worst-case scenarios that some Republicans are fretting about. The "Texas is done" narrative is silly.
Calling out @MicahBeckwith, deservedly so.
I've seen a lot of bad takes from elected officials since Tuesday. Too many are trying to explain away the election results rather than confront the real problem staring back at them in the mirror.
Let's get something straight. Hamilton County is not a blue county. Neither are Hendricks, Boone, Madison, or Delaware.
Republicans didn't lose ground in these communities because of population growth or changing demographics.
We lost because of bad policy, divisive politics, and a failure to deliver REAL results that make people's lives better.
Did national politics play a role? Absolutely. The war, inflation, and tariffs have all contributed to rising costs at the gas pump, grocery store, and on utility bills. Voters are frustrated, and rightfully so.
But let's not pretend our own Statehouse hasn't contributed to that frustration.
Anyone who spent time knocking on doors and actually listening to voters heard it firsthand. People are tired of the divisiveness coming from some of our leaders. They're frustrated by the lack of meaningful action to make life more affordable. And they're tired of politicians picking fights with suburban communities and the very things that make them great, especially our schools.
We need to stop treating the suburbs like the enemy and start listening to the people who live there.
The answer isn't to double down on the same failed approach or blame voters for rejecting it. It's to recognize what isn't working and change course.
Less partisanship. More action. Less talk. More results. And for once, let's stop talking long enough to actually listen.
These counties aren't lost. They can absolutely be won back with strong leadership, common-sense policies, and a relentless focus on making life better and more affordable for Hoosiers.
Voters aren't asking for more political bullshit. Many aren’t wearing a red or blue jersey. They're asking us to do our jobs. It's time we started listening.

Fact; All of those light-shaded neighborhoods up north that voted against (or less favorably for) reinstating gunshot detection HAVE NEVER HAD GUNSHOT DETECTION.
But they will deny it to those who have had it taken away and want it back.
Woke right Micah, who's from Michigan, and never worked a real job in his life since earning a business degree from Huntington College 20 years ago, with single digit approval rating, is going full boomer commie after the state rejected his policies Tuesday.

How do mid-term election results impact apartments and SFR?
Not much at national level. But incoming governors in Texas, Georgia and Nevada could bring some changes -- at least in rhetoric, if not policy.
Of the three, Nevada is the one that is most likely to freeze up development and investment capital.
Texas is still Texas (although the new governor doesn't have a lot of nice things to say about rental housing), and Georgia may look to limit large investors from buying houses.
Punchline: It's less about "red versus blue," and more about the growing embrace of anti-science, populist conspiracy theories on apartments and SFR.
A lot more in the latest newsletter.
It's a real mystery why young people switched up
I've watched baby boomers in both parties do nothing but make life worse for my generation since entering the "real world" 27 years ago.
Worst generation of all time.
