Nice intro to manufactured housing and the HUD Code chassis relief in the bipartisan federal housing packages
Even after the law changes, HUD & the states will need to do a rulemaking & certification process
Then, local zoning bans on HUD Code will have to be preempted
Washington has hit on a promising idea for lowering housing costs: manufactured homes. The challenge is convincing Americans to accept them. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

On Tuesday, I'm recording a podcast on Land Value Taxes with a think tank expert & a Spokane city council person (Spokane is considering an LVT). I've been reading up on the subject & getting extremely LVT-pilled.
Got questions?

Vacant small lots sprinkled throughout our city could be the answer to unlocking tens of thousands of new units of housing.
The Council’s new Advisory Group on Housing Affordability is working to turn these overlooked spaces into homes — and make a big impact on our city’s housing supply.
A new report shows how shifting incentives through a land value tax in Spokane could encourage homebuilding and discourage in-city vacant land speculation. sightline.org/2026/06/03/yes…

American ingenuity is unmatched.
The future belongs to clean energy. We have the tools, the talent, and the drive to build it.
Trump should get out of the way of progress and let American innovation do what it does best.

The power belongs with the voters, not political parties.
Alaskans know it.
And that's why Alaska has open primaries and ranked choice voting.

➡️ @PeteButtigieg on how to make Congress more responsive to voters:
“If you could have multiple members per district, you would have a more proportional Congress. I think we should be looking at that kind of reform.”
Why @PeteButtigieg likes proportional representation: “The reason why kitchen table issues can’t get done… is because of these systemic issues.”
Apartments are the majorly impactful #climate winners right under our noses!
#Affordability policy is climate policy.
Housing—and apartment buildings specifically—may be the United States’ biggest climate opportunity of the Trump era.

Housing density is our climate superpower.
Why? Because "apartments are overwhelmingly more electrically powered than standalone houses, they use less land and building materials, and their residents require less transportation energy to go about their daily lives."
