From Policy to Reality: Abundant Housing in Our Backyards

Join YIMBY Action for an evening with The New York Times’s Ezra Klein to discuss how pro-housing laws can make communities across the country more affordable, abundant, and liveable – if they actually get implemented. Ezra will be in conversation with Sonja Trauss, co-founder of the YIMBY (Yes in My Backyard) movement and the Executive Director of YIMBY Law.

Amidst a national crisis of housing affordability and accessibility, understanding the path from legislation to livable communities has never been more crucial. Our speakers will discuss the multifaceted challenges of housing law implementation, from navigating bureaucratic hurdles to fostering community support and overcoming political and economic barriers.

Join us for a dynamic exchange of ideas about how we get from idea to law to reality so that everyone has an affordable place to call home.
