One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

A good read, housing code is complicated and requires a lot of careful planning and consideration.
Great to see friends-of-PNW like @andersem.bsky.social and @maccoinnich.bsky.social quoted in this DJC article to reform housing code for more sunlight suites

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.
But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

I know the Wall Street Journal has been getting worse over time, but this blatant lack of journalistic integrity, deliberate fearmongering, and straight up fabrication is insane. Why lie this blatantly when senior officials are directly saying this is not true? Why keep the article up?
Ammunition engraved with transgender and antifascist ideology was found inside the rifle authorities believe was used in Kirk’s shooting, sources say.
Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved with Transgender, Antifascist Ideology: Sources
Investigators found ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology inside the rifle that authorities believe was used in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, according to an internal law enforcement bulletin and a person familiar with the investigation.

NEW: Tonight, this is all that remains of Nepal's seat of government in Kathmandu.
Singha Durbar was the largest palace in Asia; home to the Prime Minister & government offices.
A 48-hour revolution, led by Gen Z protestors, has toppled the government & left large parts of the capital in flames.

This whole article is insane. The same party who routinely claims to the party of guns, freedom, and the Constitution is now seemingly the enemy of all three. I didn't realize the "first they came for" poem in this case would only have two groups, immigrants and then immediately everyone else.
