Building on the #socialstair and Transit Oriented Area #bcpoli, what further policy interventions might help #newwest develop more like the single lot redevelopment image, and less like the Land Assembly image?

Just went and made myself a toastie (fromage baguette) and in the time I went from the kitchen and back, France had scored twice.

Classicists say the jaunty triangular window corner is more likely to break down and worse to maintain. Is that true? If so is there a worthwhile trade off?

No smart people in the military, on orders from the dumbest SecDef in history.
Hegseth to US military: if you get into MIT, we won't let you attend because of the risk that you will be exposed to ideas hostile to MAGA when you study there.

I discuss research showing what happens to housing prices, rents, and displacement when demand increases faster than supply, and what happens when supply is allowed to keep up.

We used to stay in Caolas. The joke was it was full of cows (like the whole island).

22nd Street Stn area needs help so bad 😭
My proposal: make 7th Ave one-way with all traffic flowing to 20th St. Removal of the opposite direction would make room for a bus lane, allowing buses to skip Qboro bound traffic, as they could snake into their bus-only turn lane, or left turn onto 6th Ave
