Thousands of duplex, triplex, fourplex, & cottage homes have been built in Oregon since its 2019 statewide upzone - but they’re unevenly distributed.
Let's dive into two things:
1. What we can learn from the places it's working
2. Why @govtinakotek.bsky.social's follow-up bill would help

I have been considering treasury bonds a good hedge for the current chaos, based on my inflation expectations, but I just had a horrible thought. It would be totally in character for Trump to start talking about defaulting on the debt out of the blue.

If you argue with them on the intarwubs, it's just amazing how many of them have completely convinced themselves that he knows how bad tariffs are and is just deploying them as a high-pressure negotiating tactic. It's like, have you ever actually listened to a word this guy says?

You’re a gutless weirdo. Some things are worth standing and fighting for. Can you imagine FDR or Lincoln saying “No, I won’t defend this free nation of laws, because it might risk an economic downturn”?
The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics.
Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession.
I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.
