"Rent growth has moderated recently from historically high pandemic-era levels as overheated markets cooled and new construction drove up vacancies." We've still got a lot of work to do, but cities that built more homes are seeing benefits from it. https://lnkd.in/gPZFdi7K

Americans are realizing that more homes will help make our neighborhoods more affordable, sustainable, and diverse. YIMBY advocates are being heard around the country. Housing has become a top priority for voters. That's why it's more meaningful than ever that our volunteers are doing the work to endorse pro-housing champions who will help us build a future of abundant housing. We're excited to see more growth in the movement as folks continue to understand the importance of saying YES. https://lnkd.in/edczhuT5

What can we do to to make homes in the D.C.-area more affordable?
