Khanna: You know, someone said to me, “Well, this backbencher from the House is calling for Schumer to step down.”
I said, “The point is the backbenchers need to come to the front.” Those of us in the back — we need to move to the front. And a new generation of leadership needs to emerge.”

Looking at the building approvals data over the past 30 years, it's amazing how the old 1-2 story flats have pretty much disappeared.
Clearly higher story apartments offer a better return. Also I guess building restriction heights have been lessened?

Deloitte's job was simply to help DEWR "bring back into proper operation" the system of mutual obligations & penalties (currently spitting out ~2 million payment suspensions a year).
This clearly backfired, because
-Deloitte couldn't provide assurance

These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.
