This is one of my biggest beefs with “Abundance” advocates at least so much as it defines a certain genre of punditry. Constant prog/ left NIMBY punching but they won’t address the elephant in the room: mainstream, centrist, establishment democrats are responsible for urban housing shortages.
This is why Hakeem Jeffries and his intransigent coalition is so toxic. Calling Mamdani’s supports “Team Gentrification” gives the whole game away.
Their shitty machine politics gave us these shortages and they lost many of their own voters because of it! www.newsweek.com/hakeem-jeffr...

This is the most "Century of Humiliation" shift I've seen, If Canada is moving away from the US to ally closer with its rival, that is a real bad sign
(SCMP) - China and Canada are showing a readiness to mend mutual ties as both nations tackle strained relations with the US, marking a shift by Ottawa that analysts have described as “pragmatic”.

Fascinating how the only type of new development that doesn’t apparently generate more traffic is the kind where every single trip requires driving

Pre-2009, the number of 1st-time homebuyers roughly increased & declined in parallel with the number of housing units completed.
Over past 15 years, that connection disappeared. Even though the # of housing units completed increased 2011-2024, the # of 1st-time homebuyers flatlined—then collapsed.

i'd be mad at kamala harris for not breaking with biden and therefore winning the election, but her not being able to think for herself or take the initiative is the only reason she was in the position she was in to begin with. it'd be like getting mad at a dog for not extinguishing a house fire

Michigan is poised to adopt the first law in the nation that would automatically register people to vote as they leave prison.
The bill, adopted last week by lawmakers, is now on Governor Gretchen Whitmer's desk.

Michigan Law Would Be First to Automatically Register People to Vote As They Leave Prison
The legislature passed a bill last week that would expand automatic voter registration in a number of other ways, and likely add many new Michiganders to voter rolls.
