Princetonian Housing Advocates Include Polis ’96, Campbell ’04
I was glad to see PAW cover the role of Princetonians in the burgeoning YIMBY movement, working to ensure abundant housing for all Americans. I was surprised, though, at who the article chose to mention. Many of the strongest pro-housing reforms in the country were passed by Gov. Jared Polis ’96 in Colorado, which has been the rare blue state to rapidly increase its supply of housing, supporting robust population growth, including in city centers. Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell ’04 has been aggressively pursuing legal action against cities and towns that fail to meet their obligation to build more housing and leads one of the most avowedly pro-housing AG offices in the country. She is a close ally of Massachusetts’ YIMBY groups, some of which are among the oldest in the country. I am sure there are many more Princetonians active in our movement who should have been mentioned, too.
Editor’s note: The writer is co-founder and board vice president for Abundant Housing Massachusetts.
