Many (most?) rich kids slumming it as artists in their 20's can meet income/asset guidelines because the primary assets they have access to, and will eventually inherit, are not yet in their possession.

I thought she explicitly said she's not planning to run when she accepted the appointment, but I could be misremembering.

In King County, yes they absolutely do. (I'd be shocked if that were not the case in the vast majority of jurisdictions.)

(Malta and Montpellier are partial cases, free to residents but fares still apply to anyone who doesn't reside there. I am not aware of any similar schemes in the US.)

Turns out everything bagels are kinda tasty I guess

Or maybe not? Seems to be some conflicting info about remaining votes.

Yeah, unless I'm missing something in the math here I assume she meant 54k, not 44k.

(Assuming you mean 5) it should just be a normal administrative change, but apparently there's language in the charter that suggests it needs to be voted on.

The desperate shamelessness of the lies you'll tell to cling to the powers that make you petty tyrants of your little fiefdoms is something to behold.

Fortunately NYC voters can see what's going on here. They're going to legalize building affordable housing in NIMBY districts. That's a good thing.

I think the underrated mechanism is "slack." Where housing is plentiful and cheap, people have more of it--more space, spare bedrooms, etc. So people who might become homeless where housing is expensive and slack is rare are more likely to find a place to crash with friends/family

No, different brand, don't recall which (saw at store earlier today; wanted some kiwi but not 3 lbs so I didn't buy)

Dayton OH: $9.49 for 3 lbs

It's so trivially easy to envision how FUBAR the car market would be if we tried to do this with new cars. (And new cars are a much larger fraction of the overall car market!)

I don't have a lot of strong views on how PhD programs should be organized but "there should be some kind of general all-subfields 1st semester course that isn't methods" and "this article should be taught in it" are two things that seem clear enough to me.

Definitely one of the most important articles I read in grad school, it made my own thinking so much clearer and sharper. But I only encountered it because I did Comparative as a secondary exam field, it wouldn't have come up for theory.

Perhaps probabilistically it increases the odds, but I don't think it's necessary or sufficient to create a widespread specific of a crisis among the public.

Some people who say this are just lying hacks, but I think it also comes from people who exemplify being "too online," as in "these annoying YIMBYs are all over the internet and I keep losing arguments to them, therefore I conclude their power must be hegemonic"
