Parking Mandates have nothing on this... Irving, TX just mandated dog parks, pools, bike repair stations, and yoga studios for all new apartments to get around Texas' new law legalizing residential on all commercial land. We are discovering levels of NIMBY never seen before.
Text on a white background stating "Now, that apartment complex must have eight floors. It must include a swimming pool, a dog park, a gym and a workspace for remote workers. Builders must also pick from a menu of amenities to add, such as a yoga room, a place to wash pets or cars or a station for cyclists to repair their bikes."

I can’t wait to see them explain this in court. “It’s important for Gen Z that we provide them with city mandated mental health resources like yoga studios, a park for their emotional support animals, and a pool for relaxation” 💀

“I’m sorry, are you showing a dog-park-bike-repair-pool as some kind of mixed use space?! Listen, it’s not my job to read the statute to you. But obviously this is not even close to acceptable”

You guys are a cancer. People live in the suburbs to get away from over development/over crowding

So are we doomed to have an endless game of wack-a-mole until/unless the federal govt can pass something that overrides & supersedes state & local nonsense?

I love the can-do spirit of Texas and the ingenuity of its people, but I also hate it when it's used for evil

Requiring office space for remote workers in a residential building is insane. It’s already their “home” part of the “work from home”

If that still means building but it’s cooler… strangely OK with it. But I prefer public space mandates

Send the Indians home and we break even on housing. Female cousins to be fair. But we have to end OPT and H1B and H4 and J-1.

Of course every single last one of my cousins was raped by Indians. So of course I do not trust them. x.com/poiThePoi/stat

NY Gov Hochul had a good plan. Over 3 years: -Mandatory 3% housing unit growth for all municipalities in the "MTA Zone" (downstate) -Mandatory 1% housing growth everywhere else -"Affordable" housing units counts double towards the goal. However towns got it done was their problem

TX will likely fix this shortly, they've been reactive and serious in a way that embarsses the timid half measures of blue states.

Eight floors to take it out of the economic sweet spot. At eight stories you have to start building it like a skyscraper without the density benefits of a 20-30 story building.
