Hear that? We have proof. Open up zoning so market rate and subsidized housing can be built. They both help. We need political leadership both in elected office AND planning offices to accept scientific evidence and ignore people like Kate Willett and Vanishing Seattle. More market rate homes help
Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.
Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

Tetra Pak just launched a heat-pump-based pasteurization system that can cut energy use by up to 77%.
Electrification + heat recovery = massive efficiency gains. This is the kind of behind-the-scenes innovation that quietly transforms entire sectors.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

Looks like the House votes on the SPEED Act soon.
This is mostly a good package of reforms to NEPA that will make it easier and less costly to build things in this country. Please don’t let anyone tell you it’s a “rollback of environmental protections.”

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

There's no reason Los Angeles County can't have 26 million people, like Seoul.
We have as many subways as Seoul did when it was 10 million 😜
(Also you kinda have to feel like this would be LA County without NIMBYs)

This isn’t just an Atlanta thing — if you needed a taxi in San Francisco on a Friday night in the mid-2000’s you couldn’t get one. There were two phone numbers you could call and you’d mostly get a busy signal.
Anyone in ATL in the late 90s/early 2000s who waited on a taxi to arrive will understand the productivity benefits, even if tangentially related, that ride share and Waymo have provided. Had a friend who would call a wrecker instead of a taxi b/c it was faster, cheaper, and you had your car in AM. 😂

You are hereby reminded that Berkeley could have had Pixar. Steve Jobs wanted to specifically place Pixar HQ near the "creative and intellectual center of Berkeley." But at the same time Berkeley created the West Berkeley Plan to maintain little hobbit workshops instead of attracting real business.
Undoubtedly. Pixar, and the others. Look at my assessment density map. Emeryville sticks out for how many huge, valuable parcels they have.

Ordering a matcha latte at the cafe then sitting down and pulling something out of my tote bag, everyone internally groans. I reveal it’s the print edition of Liberal Currents, the mood immediately shifts and all the patrons and employees line up to shake my hand and thank me for my good opinions.

On one side of my family we have zero knowledge of our lineage before my grandpa. There was just nobody left to ask. He wasn’t even sure if his last name was real or made up. And there’s a story like this in almost every Ukrainian household.
