Important thread👇Now is the perfect time to get involved! While these reforms are facing strong opposition, we are optimistic because: 1) these NPU votes are not representative of Atlanta and 2) they are based on irrational arguments and misunderstandings that we can overcome!
Replying to @JoshuaHumphries
If you care about Atlanta and want our city to be a more affordable and inclusive place to live, I urge you to get involved. If we fail to create room in our zoning code for more affordable housing types, none of the other affordable tools have a shot.

Taking on #ClimateAction is no small feat, but small may be the key. This new group of #TinyHouses in Atlanta is a game changer for #NetZero on a community level. Learn more about the Cottages on Vaughan: hubs.ly/H0XBt-J0 @tinyhouseATL

Replying to @SmartGrowthCEO
@SmartGrowthCEO “Fighting against gentrification is fighting against the refs” Points to the need to focus advocacy on designing for the poor, stopping displacement to allow low-income to enjoy the amenities and community improvements brought by new $$ #IHS2021 @TinyhouseATL
