Hello everyone, on our blog we are considering doing a national round-up of transit issues on the ballot this November, see the post outline below.

I'd love to get together a similar roundup of YIMBY/development-related ballot issues.

If you know of some in your area or in other cities, can you add them to this google doc. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vMZy3fVBape-nSii6Yjnvkg3Ov-K8A-HmvOnuQJGwBQ

Please add links, so we can read more, and give a short summary (see the examples below).

I'll share out the list to this email group when it's compiled.

Thanks in advance!
