The Yada Yada Law School!!! How could I forget my time as the Junior Mint Professor of Law? www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFBr...

@gregshill.com 100% undersold it as "a fake law school where real law professors teach classes about nothing"... and yet, it was so deeply formative. 😂

The @arizonastateuni.bsky.social Morrison Institute for Public Policy puts the housing shortage statewide at 270,000 homes. And no wonder when large-lot single family housing is dominant & as-of-right allowances for multi-family housing in the region are just those areas in purple (NZA screenshot):
