Interested in why assessment, maybe the biggest objection to Land Value Tax – the least bad tax – might not be such a problem?

Check out my new working paper: Land values can be estimated more accurately than property values in parameter recovery simulations.

Bluesky simply yearns for land value tax.

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

This cliffhanger should be national news.
Katie Wilson is up 91 votes in the Seattle Mayor's race as Wilson-mentum continues to pay dividends.
Wilson-mentum is real.

The gap in the Seattle Mayor's race has narrowed to just 4,300 votes, or 1.88%.

The guy that promised to save PA transit and then abandoned it, while still failing to outmaneuver the state GOP to deliver a budget for 130 days does not deserve the ticket. (YIMBY bills have also stagnated BTW). Huge disconnect between local and national perception

Senator Lander

Senator AOC

Either good

Just not Senator Schumer anymore
Schumer: "I must vote no. I can not, in good faith, support this CR. ... Make no mistake about it, the American people know who is inflicting this pain on them."

He stops short of urging his colleagues to vote "no."

Can I tell you about someone else whose followers included adult content creators
Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

An incomplete list of cities where housing abundance was a major campaign issue & pro-housing candidates held or expanded majorities:
- Bozeman, MT
- Cambridge, MA
- Durham, NC
- Kalispell, MT
- Littleton, CO
- Manchester, NH
- Missoula, MT
- Salt Lake City, UT
- Seattle, WA
- Wilmington, NC

💪
We'll post a list sometime soon but in addition to all the D vs. R stories tonight, in basically every nonpartisan election in the country today, the more pro-housing candidate won.
