Just to be clear, if our leaders would fix our laws to allow more dense housing options we could create more communities where friends could live near each other. This is possible, people! We just need to say YES to change and more neighbors 🙂

Almost every single American Main Street in a town over 500 people is lined with three- and maybe four-story buildings. We suffer from historical amnesia.

“There’s a conspiracy against single family homes! I will not be forced to live in your shoebox! ” The real conspiracy:
