Great job opportunity for recent law grads interested in housing/land use! (It says PhD required, but JDs are welcome).

I loved my time in a similar role at the Furman Center and Terner Center is outstanding too.

No one I learn more from than Danny Wilf-Townsend -- very excited for this one!

Reupping this to say the two most important things about a new paper:

THANK YOU to everyone who made this paper immeasurably better.

And comments and feedback *extremely* welcome. I'd especially love thoughts from employment/civil rights folks!

More and more people are saying this:

This is an exceptional first sentence for an article.

I absolutely adore the bizarro-world, Pawnee-water-fountain vibes of this video from my kid's school.

One of the many brilliant, creative ideas from my Local Gov students was replacing our current system of public participation for land use with, essentially, juries. So I'm fascinated to see Cambridge trying this out -- so curious if it will work.

Also very, very excited to keep digging in on the topic with Michigan Law School students in a mini-seminar on 'Cities After COVID' this coming semester!

Delightful list of NYT reporters' top 'huh' and 'aha' inspirations for stories.

And proud to have written 'one sentence in a working paper' that apparently kicked off Emily Badger's outstanding work on cities' inflexibility & postpandemic challenges.

Really interesting (and depressing) reporting on NYS's new housing voucher program.

I've written about the challenges facing state and local vouchers here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

And the inherent timing difficulties of housing assistance: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

And of course, Furman Center and Vicki Been have been leading on this since even earlier.
