We have an estimated 800,000 home shortage to tackle over the next decade from generations of inaction.
We do not tell enough stories about what 800,000 more homes means to New Yorkers in every part of our state. To finally have a place to call home.
But sometimes a picture is worth 1,000 words:

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

It’s such a bad idea, when one of his crimes was calling forth an insurrection, that he’s actually forbidden from holding the office by a constitutional provision, which a unanimous Supreme Court invented a way to turn off.
To repeat: Maybe electing a life-long criminal to an office where he can pardon other criminals wasn't such a good idea.

Michelle Obama criticized President Trump for destroying the East Wing of the White House to make room for a $300 million ballroom, calling the project a denigration of a space that traditionally has been the first lady’s domain.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

normal, healthy organizations have a zero tolerance policy towards shit like this because it is metastatically, terminally cancerous to both morale and their ability to hire quality candidates, so you should ask yourself another question: why does the NYT tolerate it?

Anyway, as if the timing could not be more poetic: we’re reminded of Nancy Pelosi, the greatest Speaker of all time, and may even be one of the most effective leaders ever.
