MAYBE if your car is free, your gas is free, your maintanance is free, and your parking space is free.

If I take a bus downtown and back it costs me $4.50.
If I take the 'L' downtown and back it costs me $5.00.
If I take Metra downtown and back it costs me *at least* $7.50.
If I drive downtown and back it costs me zero dollars.
Remind me again why we should feel bad about changing that last one?

I don’t know that I’ll ever not be angry, sad, mortified, and disgusted that it happened.

Housing policy is omni-policy and not just for the obvious adjacent areas. Yes it’s climate & transit. It’s also income inequality, public safety, education, immigration, disability, geriatric, conservation, & healthcare.
Build the damn housing!

Perimeter blocks with single stair buildings 🧑🍳🤌🏼
Now for Bluesky, the courtyard block argument:
Modern cities have failed to provide housing for ordinary families. The solution is courtyard blocks, which are uniquely capable of providing residents with the “big house with a yard” but scaled for urban density and commercial integration.

Evil landlords w/ Trumpian BS when caught fixing rents, "This Administration should stop scapegoating RealPage's legally compliant technology for housing policy failures & take care to not stifle the innovation that will strengthen America's economy, now & in the future."

A mom just came in SO EXCITED to find a map store bc her son would LOVE it.
She tries to be coy. "My son is... Really into maps. Real special kid."
I'm like, ma'am, this is a map store. Half my customers are on the spectrum. I have a trains and transit section. You're among friends.

New housing ≠ more expensive city
Growing economy + no new housing = expensive city
Housing production should at a minimum MEET demand. In expensive cities, it should exceed demand.
