The newly created Disinformation Board should review this tweet, or maybe they need to form a new Non Sequitur Board instead. Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss. Taming inflation is critical to discuss. Mushing them together is just misdirection.

Parking requirements are amongst the dumbest of zoning laws. How many vacant Manhattan apartments are there due to constrained parking. The laws equate to environmental carnage. People will use public transportation where there is no parking.

Karen Bass Good idea to move affordable to front of the line, but stop maligning developers adding supply… seriously terrible look for the potential future mayor of a city w a housing supply emergency.

Central irony of the modern American housing market: Renters blame developers, who add to supply, for high rents, rather than the politicians who restrict supply.

Trees transform cities. Here are 8 reasons we need more of them:

The women of Iran aren't going to return to the way things used to be.

This is unbelievable… Watch J_Klinsmann dismiss brown athletes, from Iran to Guatemala, repeatedly saying “this is their culture”, while the host and other guests are sitting there listening to him go on and on, live on BBC Sport.

Say it with me: There is no amount of $$ any local government could feasibly spend that would make a material difference to our housing crisis. The only solution: Let the private sector build build build.

I got to witness something pretty cool today
