Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs, are small, fully-functional secondary homes located on the same property as a main home (usually in the backyard) that serve as carriage houses or "granny flats." But as wildfires have displaced residents in the West, ADUs have filled a vital need where housing has... show more

Massachusetts needs an ADU assembly line. When the state legalized accessory dwelling units, I was genuinely excited. Granny flats and backyard units create more housing capacity without changing what a neighborhood feels like. I also assumed there would be economies of scale, that someone would design a beautiful ADU, a company would identify how to build it at scale, and you start seeing them pop up all over the state. But that hasn’t happened, and here’s why: We have 351 municipalities, and every single one runs a unique site plan review process. So you can design a single ADU for all of Massachusetts, but you have to tweak it 351 times to fit the different rules for setbacks and placement. That adds time and cost for homeowners during the permitting process. I’m always looking for easy ways to increase the speed at which we build housing. Having a statewide uniform site plan for ADUs is low-hanging fruit.

If there are 3,761,229 houses in NJ as of 2024 @ a .5% vacancy = 188,061 empty homes in NJ Democrats/Developers want to push 84,698 mandated units The vacant homes in NJ are more than double that, so why are they saying we have a housing crisis? 🧐

Unbelievable, No wonder the Liberals don’t actually want rent or the price of housing to go down, 38% of Carney’s ministers are landlords, earning rental income or as investors in property management businesses or real estate investment trusts. Lena Diab has 14 rental property units in Halifax. Champagne has rental properties in London England. These people sure have become filthy rich off the backs of Canadians. But of course there’s no conflict of interest going on….

"As the War on Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon escalates, our fall semester has been interrupted and disrupted. AUB data as of October 21 show that 50 percent of our student body has been displaced, and 25-30 percent of our faculty and staff are either displaced or have taken multiple family members into their homes. Nothing of what we are experiencing in the fall of 2024 could pass for normal. Or acceptable." Read the latest President's Perspective:

We have to ban private equity firms from buying American homes and completely rethink investment properties limits Report shows supply is not what’s causing home prices to skyrocket, “Of the 381 major US cities, only 4 have a housing shortage” Here’s what is: “We're told that homes are expensive because there isn't enough supply and that we should let the housing industry build more homes. But out of the 381 major US cities, one, only four have a housing shortage. So why can't people afford homes anymore? Because we no longer treat homes as a place for people to live in, but as a property for the rich and corporations to invest in. When working people buy homes, they're not competing against other families, they're competing against investment companies and for profit landlords. Homes aren't getting more expensive because people are lazy or there isn't enough supply. They're expensive because for profit landlords are gobbling up all the homes and, and forcing working people to pay rent. Across the US Millions of homes are owned by these for profit landlords, and that number should be zero”

Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday tried to clear up confusion around the rollout of a tax on expensive second homes. The city sent 17,000 letters out to property owners to pay the tax or contest it - but as NY1 is reporting, some of the recipients are longtime New Yorkers who are being told to prove that their home is their primary residence, or pay up.

Connecticut Senator Ryan Fazio exposes their government exempted large developers from following Historic or Single Family zoning laws “Our state government gave to us anti-local control state mandates 830G — State housing mandate that allows large developers to totally ignore local planning and zoning rules and decisions as long as they build 30% of the units in their development as deed restricted housing. That means that any developer can go into any historic or single family zoned neighborhood and build 100 units are more on a single plot. That's not conjecture. It's reality for many neighborhoods across Connecticut, where developers have built over 50 or 100 units in small neighborhoods without local zoning approval, anddevelopers on a large scale are using it more and more.”

Thomas Sowell on why rent control is so damaging: “If rent control is severe, people either reduce the amount of housing they build or they stop building housing altogether.” “Political authorities are then confronted with a situation where there’s no new housing built and the old housing is wearing out—usually faster under rent control because the landlords don’t have to keep it up as much.” “So they step in and have some kind of modification. They say, ‘We are trying to protect the poor, so we won’t regulate luxury housing.’” “Of course, luxury housing and ordinary housing use much the same labor and the same materials. Therefore, all the materials that would have otherwise gone into making ordinary housing go into building luxury housing.”

Just some of the laws that are included in Sharia Law. You tell me if this sounds INSANE or not. "A woman who is involved in a permanent marriage cannot leave the house without the permission of her husband." "She must also make herself available for every legal pleasure that he desires." "If a woman does not obey her husband in the duties that were mentioned in the previous article, she will have sinned and have no right to claim food, clothing or housing from him." Keep this crap as far away from the United States as POSSIBLE!

It is becoming increasingly difficult for the residents of my country's capital to close their eyes at night... as the russian beasts have become too focused on their city and civilian homes. "Sooner or later, everything will be alright"-that is what we usually tell ourselves and others when things are going badly or are as difficult as possible... but what do you say to yourself and your loved ones when you realize that such words no longer work and sound more like a lie than the truth? "Fight or flight"-many of you know and have heard this saying. For us Ukrainians, there is nowhere to run, and why run when the enemy has come right into your home? "Fight or flight"... how far could you even run? In real life, you cannot escape your problems, and they must be solved, the sooner the better. But when there is a war in your country, you never know at what moment-day or night-your life's problems will be multiplied by a hundred. Tonight, russia once again carried out a massive attack on Kyiv. It is already known that there are 11 dead and many more wounded civilians.
