When Covid caused NYC offices to hollow out what they found was that yeah the core business districts suffered but the neighborhoods where people actually live, thrived.
All WFH means is rethinking business districts, not cities.

if you cant go in to the office 3 days a week then you really can't complain when cities are hollowed out. cities are places where ppl work and network. getting rid of that makes cities useless
And it's usually something like "but that's not what the literal DNC does!" as if I don't know, as someone who has worked on Dem campaigns, sometimes in conjunction with the DNC what they do. So I'm going to be very specific here: this is the DNC being shitty: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Exactly. As I've argued, polling that asks, "should illegal immigrants be deported, yes or no," tends to get a "yes" answer because it codes as "should the law be enforced, yes or no." (NYT does this and it's absurd). Once pollsters ask *who* should get deported, Trump's agenda is roundly rejected.
Also most voters have just never thought remotely seriously about policy. “Should we get rid of illegal immigrants? Well, of course; they’re illegal!” There’s nothing deeper than that going on until they start seeing what that actually entails.
Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage.

The Supreme Court won't halt Tremane Wood's execution. Only KBJ notes her dissent.
Prosecutors struck most Black jurors then lied at trial, concealing secret deals with witnesses. Wood's lawyer was on cocaine and barely met with him. His brother admitted to the killing but only got life in prison.
