In any event, any talk of aesthetics-driven NIMBYism requires a shout out to Connecticut's own Arnold Karp: “I’ve driven by a lot of these peoples’ homes,” he said. “How do I say it? I don’t think they’re the arbiters of design in New Canaan.” www.nytimes.com/2019/03/15/r...

parts of it are good but any author who ends a book by suggesting that you can "solve" New Haven by Yale starting a center is deeply misguided and misinformed. plus there are two "other sides" of propsect and you wouldn't know it from the author's leering gare from the $$$$ side to his "other side"

Restaurant owners excited to serve more customers, public high school principals who see what their housing insecure students face, renters who would like to continue to live here, and homeowners who want even more people to enjoy the City we love: this is New Haven.

Thankfully this conversation is live and evolving, in part because thanks to YIMBY legislative wins, they are now forced to move some of their fights into the courtroom. Was really glad to be part of these conversations @yimbytown.bsky.social over the last couple of days.

Also made a plug for local public day care. #yimbytown

Great panel, depressing (though not surprising coming from New Eng) to hear that MBTA communities is dampening legislators' willingness to do more rather than inspiring them to iterate and continue progress. This is my fear here in CT.

very excited to be in conversation with old friends and new, advocates and attorneys from California, New Jersey, DC, Massachusetts and, yes, Connecticut

also Monday!!
