For anyone that thinks BlueSky is all unicorns and rainbows, here’s the bile coming in over the spillway
i don't know maybe look at your post and ask yourself "does this make it seem like I'm cheering a human being murdered in the street?" and if the answer is yeah or maybe it could be interpreted like that, then log off.

"cities should act now to raise as much money as possible for adaptation before the municipal bond market starts pricing in physical climate risk. It's only going to get more expensive later"
yeesh.

It's a race against time for local governments hoping to raise money for climate adaptation through the bond markets. If they recognize the risk and act, there's money out there. But if the market recognizes the risk, the money will start drying up. Post today: open.substack.com/pub/susanpcr...
What the 2008 financial crisis tells us about the looming threat to the municipal bond market

Sometimes David Brooks really can nail it: "An administration of narcissists will be a snake pit, in which strife and self-destructive scandal will snuff out effective action. Running things is hard, and changing things is harder, and it’s rarely done well by solipsistic outsiders."

‘We love these buildings’: Should developers get to build six stories anywhere in Cambridge? - The Boston Globe
Housing advocates say simpler zoning would pave the way for more homes and generate more affordable housing. But others say unregulated development would only make things worse.
