WIN’s recommendations focus on what actually gets homes built: deeper affordability for those who need it most 💵, fewer roadblocks like excessive parking ⚠️, and rules that make on-site affordable units the norm, not an exception 🏡.30 Jan 2026 22:39 +0000at://did:plc:jxat2n75reyadzx7ym3pgdcd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdoennvjls2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/wneighborhoods.bsky.social/post/3mdoehfltak2n6 years, 0 locally permitted affordable homes.
