increased housing supply leads to lower housing costs, who would have guessed it? Other than anyone who got at least a B- in intro econ, I mean.

And its no secret why. The housing supply has increased drastically.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Gulf of America is the woke right’s “affirm my pronouns”—except there’s no conceivably generous interpretation of the ask. It’s just pure desire to dominate through arbitrary linguistic fealty displays, like Putin’s “special military operation” instead of “war.”
