Blog · Comments to Alexandria City Council - 18 October 2025These are comments made by our organization to the Alexandria City Council for 18 October 2025- Blog · Arlington: A Statement Supporting a Vibrant, Diverse, Sustainable, and Inclusive ArlingtonDear Members of the Arlington County Board,
How we work
Reform the rules
Back zoning reform and streamlined permitting so more homes are legal to build, especially near transit and jobs.
Educate & engage
Turn out residents to the meetings that matter and make it easy to take a pro-housing position on local projects.
Build partnerships
Work with neighbors, labor, faith groups, and builders toward a shared abundant-housing agenda.
YIMBYs of NoVA is a chapter of YIMBY Action.
One of the local groups organizing for more homes across the country, backed by the national team.
