While the stadium obviously attracts the most attention, what happens in the comprehensive plan could have 10 times the impact on housing supply vs what gets built at RFK

New piece: It's not just Trump's approval taking a hit. Voters also say they care less than they did in 2024 about (formerly) GOP-leaning issues like crime and immigration. Concerns about the economy, social security, and health care are up. The thermostat comes for Trump

Any business having to raise prices due to the tariffs and NOT adding it as a "sales tax"-style line-item is a sucker. As for the White House: FAFO. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Amazon is down 2% on the open after news that the President of the United States is upset at its private business decisions... What do you call a country where citizens and business leaders are afraid of retaliation by the executive if they don't publicly support his policies?

once again every time they make a modification to the tariffs I am contractually obligated to remind you that it would take them 0.05 seconds to exempt coffee, mangoes, bananas, etc from the tariffs but THEY. JUST. WON'T. DO. IT.

The movement to end paid toilets, not surprisingly spearheaded by a teenager, was a total disaster for bathroom access in the US. The EU has ubiquitous clean high quality bathrooms that cost like a quarter

This is illegal to build in DC, but @brianneknadeau has a bill to make it legal. Email your CM and the at-large CMs to let them know you support the One Front Door Act! x.com/andersem/statu…

This old HUD §236 report is a terrifying read for YIMBYs Remember the huge "address chain" filtering study in 2023? Turns out HUD did it in 1967 The best housing minds of the 1970s knew ~everything YIMBYs have "discovered" since Glaeser-Gyorko (2002). But the good guys lost.

The Elon/Trump saga is just the latest example of how "fired" and "quit" are not well-defined categories, and should not be the basis for determining UI eligibility.

I debated whether to share my story on here, but I guess I will. I think there's an idea out there that millions of violent criminals are pouring across the border, carrying machetes and drugs, looking to harm Americans. Certainly, while some people fall into that category, the

Even setting aside the left-YIMBYs, all the “moderate-” and “right-” YIMBYs were salivating over “hemispheric common market” and “stapling green cards to diplomas” from Hillary in 2016. Even the rightmost current-YIMBYs were emphatically With Her, overall and on immigration

We've done ourselves a disservice by centering homeownership so strongly, but it's also true that it should be attainable for those who desire it. DC isn't building enough housing - especially starter homes - for young families who want them.

Selling it is *at best* a wash vs existing lease/grazing/usage fees and the present value of those in the future, and it removes option value in the future **at least** wait until interest rates are lower so that property sells for lower cap rates, if literally nothing else
