Sightline Institute

... that whole debate last year was what you're talking about right there.

I mean, Sightline Institute and others have published, uh, some good, good stuff that is easy to kinda digest around density as kind of climate, uh, policy in itself.

In Washington state, my organization is collaborating with the Sightline Institute on an upcoming LVT bill.

Meanwhile, in New York, Governor Hochul extended authority for cities to utilize land value capture to fund new transit stops, a tool that can be used for the new Interborough Expressway IBX subway expansion.

We're working with Niskanen Center, Center for Public Enterprise, and Institute for Progress to turn this idea into a real policy proposal.
