The primary driver of homelessness is high rents, but high rents are also a problem for housed people who are paying 45% of their income for housing. The market is not going to end all homelessness but building more houses in tight markets to drive down rents certainly prevents some amount of it.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

congress should consider stopping the stupidest person who has ever lived from destroying the economy
Trump: "We were losing hundreds of billions of dollars with China. Now we're essentially not doing business with China. Therefore, we're saving hundreds of billions of dollars. It's very simple."

crazy that an influx of dense infill housing can lower prices and make homeownership more attainable
"In 2020, [Portland, OR] approved building [middle housing] on lots zoned for single family homes... A new report from the City says, it's working. 1,400 new units built in just a few years and each one is $300,000 less expensive than a typical single family home." @nbcnews.com

The city repeatedly asked the Justice Department to identify alleged antisemitic incidents. The Justice Department never responded. Now the meeting is canceled.
Seems like more people need to be calling the Trump administration's bluffs.

Right on, brother. And we can go back even further, to before 2015 and Trump emerging on the scene. If only people had listened to the ACLU about executive overreach and limits on state power starting in September 2001…

They should be in jail, and a whole battalion of coders and ops experts should be in there dismantling everything they've built and reinforcing the security infrastructure.
Who has standing to sue them and the detail to prove harm? or standing/sufficient legal precedent to convict them of crimes?

A reminder once again that this is all totally illegal and in a country with a better respect for democracy and the rule of law, the DOGe minions and their boss would already be in jail by now.

This is an enormous theft—not just privatizing a government function with a worse and more expensive for-profit substitute, but also a massive government financial data heist—and on the other side of it everyone needs to end up broke and imprisoned to deter them and others from doing it again.
Reported earlier today that a new DOGEr, Roland Tenglong Shen, who works at Thiel-backed payments company Ramp, is now at Treasury's central payments hub. A request for comment through LinkedIn went unanswered and now Shen's LinkedIn profile has disappeared. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/rampi...

it's hard to find a motivation for DOGE other than 'hatred of the good.' these are bad people fundamentally envious or un-understanding of the idea that you might work or give for others, and attempting to punish it.
NEW: i spoke with several young AmeriCorps volunteers around the country who were abruptly pulled off projects building homes, readying forests for wildfire season, and working at food banks Tuesday afternoon. they are now on their way home thanks to DOGE cuts —
DOGE Cuts Pull AmeriCorps Volunteers Off of Disaster Relief Jobs
