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.

Be a housing fan.

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.

An honor to get momos with our Mayor-elect today! 🥟🗽🌹

#TeamNoSleep
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?

Yes yes, I know that particular definition of insanity, but I can assure you this time it will be different.

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.

singular they

Another day, another whiner complaining that I use the singular "they" in my work, and of course they can go fuck themselves

(you see what I did there)

Opinion | ‘They’ has been a singular pronoun for centuries. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s wrong.
Jane Austen did it. You can, too.

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.
GRAND JURY NULLIFICATION!

TriMet doesn’t want to hear this

But they need to close NE 7th Ave and Convention Center station. The Lloyd does not need 4 stops within a half a mile
