#MDUs
Bellingham may be the first WA city to legalize mobile dwellings in residential neighborhoods.

MDUs are the least expensive, fasted to deploy housing type there is.

MDUs should be legal in all cities, which is why @sightline.org is working on statewide legislation in both WA and OR.

People in all sorts of places want the option to live in MDUs.

Here's an example in Nanaimo, BC, where officials are working on new policies to allow people to live in MDUs full time and enjoy the benefits of this option that's unmatched in terms of low cost and quickness.
Thank you to Kylie Stanton from Global for interviewing me about our efforts to legalize my tiny home so that lower-income senior relatives have a safe, autonomous, affordable place to live with our family. Permit fees should be flexible for lower-income folks. globalnews.ca/video/116425...

Exactly how telecom companies and ISPs manage large apartments & multi-dwelling units (MDUs) today.

Portland's legalization of mobile dwellings is a total success story. In the neighborhood surveyed, MDUs have overtaken ADUs.

MDUs are the lowest-cost, quickest to deploy type of home there is.

They should be legal on residential lots in all cities.

I'm thrilled to announce a new report I wrote with @ksavin.bsky.social and @calliefreitag.bsky.social on the impact of DOGE/Trump 2.0 turmoil on Social Security disability programs.

As the title says, these programs have always been tough to navigate. But in the last year, they've gotten worse.

Lot's going on with housing in the WA session, so I hope folks won't overlook one the most outside-the-box bill ideas I've seen in a while: mobile dwellings.

Nothing comes close to how quickly and cheaply MDUs can add homes to house lots.

MDUs are the new ADUs.

"I'm a big fan of ADUs," Kol Peterson told @opb.org. "The reality is people in Portland can't really afford or justify spending $300,000 - 400,000 anymore. It doesn't really pencil from a ROI perspective. Whereas, MDUs do."

Legalizing MDUs on residential lots would unlock the the cheapest, fastest way to add housing to existing neighborhoods.

This idea is new to most. Big thanks to
@miagregerson.bsky.social and @sharonshewmake.bsky.social for diving in to try an MDU bill in WA!

One of the big drivers of this are investors & corps buying up properties & either renting them out, turning them into MDUs or demo'ing what's there & building MDUs. Saw this often in FL esp after storms & some corps buying entire devs for their employees after reloc their biz to the state

Wouldn't it be great to have a form of low-impact, infill housing that's even less expensive than ADUs, and also more flexible?

Say hello to MDUs!

That's right, mobile dwelling units.

And yep, Washington has a fresh new bill for that: HB 1443/SB 5332.
