A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Born in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania, on July 4, 1826, Stephen Foster became known as America’s First Composer. His catchy tunes based on minstrel songs are still known today.
Despite Foster’s exclusive music contract with Firth, Pond, and Company, he was penniless when he died at the age of 37. While his songs were wildly popular, the lack of copyright protection and alcoholism left him with nothing of value to show for his work.

Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz:
We absolutely should be pushing for more dense, walkable neighborhoods, especially in very dense places like Jersey City.
These kinds of NIMBYs have been blocking all sorts of amazing progress in NYC and the surrounding areas. NYC gained like the population of Pittsburgh in the last census and has barely built new housing. That's quite a demand crunch from a huge lack of supply.
Generally speaking, more housing is good, even luxury apartments. Density is good. Sprawl is extremely space and energy inefficient. Extremely costly. You want transit-oriented infrastructure in a walkable area that also has multiple uses. Build up where infrastrucure already exists. And no, that doesn't mean turning every North Jersey, LI, Hudson Valley, and Connecticut town into massive metropolises.
Also, especially in dense, walkable urban areas, we cede FAR too much space to cars. We heavily or completely subsidize housing for cars instead of people.

Some companies have take matters into their own hands. Jackson Labs is building a small housing campus to attract new candicates.

I know the Brooklyn Botanical Garden recently showed its arse by gloating about blocking a bunch of housing right near a subway station. I think a lot of units were even going to be affordable, but I don't remember the details.
Also, to give you an idea of the type of people we're dealing with, a group of NIMBYs have been trying to block construction of an elevator for the 68th Street-Hunter College IRT subway station for years.

Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz:
You can go a long way with a main strip that has actual life to it and hasn't just been completely decimated, and having mixed uses there, including housing, and having housing that's also not too far away. And where you'd be able to walk, bike, or take transit to places, and again, these places wouldn't need to be far away. Big bonus when the entire town is built around a train station. What you'd want to do with places like that is try to build some apartments that are like two or three stories tall. You can get a lot more density just out of doing that in place of some old and drafty houses that should be knocked down, and it makes it so that living in that place doesn't require having to own an entire home. And ideally having a car wouldn't be a requirement either. If there is a train station too, building a bunch of housing around that, along with other mixed uses of course, would be a great thing to do. Relatedly, would it KILL transit agencies like NJTransit, the MTA commuter railroads, PATCO, etc. to stop putting their suburban stations in parking craters and instead surround it with development? And these transit agencies would be able to make so much more money off of that land.
But yeah, some poor political decisions and then insanely dumb things like spending billions of dollars on highway bypasses that save motorists all of three minutes and ensure those bypassed towns, that also used to have rail service until parallel government-funded highways made it impossible for private railroads to compete, don't get any more tourists.

My housing knowledge is limited, but I've learned some things about it because I know a lot about transit and see how the two are related, transit and land use/housing.
I personally try placing most of my focus on fighting these destructive NIMBYs.

And the highways take up SO much land, and yes, the neighborhoods they destroy continue to be predominantly minority neighborhoods.
They're proposing some seriously stupid crap in Austin and Houston, the latter of which already has a highway with like 25 lanes. When will it be enough? When will we realize that "one more lane" isn't the solution? When will we realize it's not worth the childhood asthma rates and climate catastrophe, among so many other negative externalities? When will we stop pressuring and even forcing people into the huge financial burden of having a car while making sure so many of the country's mass transit users/walkers/bikers, etc remain almost completely invisible?
And yes, we're proposing absolutely insane projects in NYC and throughout New York state and New Jersey. Meanwhile, so much unused rail infrastructure just sits there...
Get loud and say something to your elected officials!
