Stripe to donate $1M to California Yimby
Stripe cofounder here.<p>This is an issue that I know a lot of HN readers care about and I&#x27;d encourage anyone interested to get involved. (Feel free to reach out to CA YIMBY, your local representatives, or any of the other organizations doing good work in the field.)<p>Bad housing policy is one of the biggest impediments to overall economic growth[1] and to individual economic opportunity[2][3] in the US. Our current restrictive policies disproportionately hurt poorer, younger, and (frequently) non-white[4] people. I really hope we can change them.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;faculty.chicagobooth.edu&#x2F;chang-tai.hsieh&#x2F;research&#x2F;growth.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;faculty.chicagobooth.edu&#x2F;chang-tai.hsieh&#x2F;research&#x2F;gr...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urban.org&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;publication&#x2F;83656&#x2F;2000907-strategies-for-increasing-housing-supply-in-high-cost-cities-dc-case-study_1.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urban.org&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;publication&#x2F;83656&#x2F;...</a><p>[3] From the Obama administration: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whitehouse.gov&#x2F;sites&#x2F;whitehouse.gov&#x2F;files&#x2F;images&#x2F;Housing_Development_Toolkit f.2.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whitehouse.gov&#x2F;sites&#x2F;whitehouse.gov&#x2F;files&#x2F;images...</a><p>[4] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Color-Law-Forgotten-Government-Segregated&#x2F;dp&#x2F;1631492853" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Color-Law-Forgotten-Government-Segreg...</a>
