NYTimes reporter engages in self reflection challenge (impossible)
NYTimes reporter engages in self reflection challenge (impossible)
When there’s a problem with an express line, the subway conductor will sometimes suggest you switch to the local train across the platform because it’s running express and will be faster. Folks, do not ever listen to this well-meaning but invariably wrong advice.
I believe the proper response to this is "get their asses."
Crazy how the left-NIMBY playbook is the same everywhere. 1) Lie about the status quo (“We’ve been doing YIMBYism all along!”) 2) Propose an insane “fix” that you know won’t happen (here, force people to get roommates); 3) block housing for reasons (“climate! Shadows!”). Repeat.

Housing deal leaves much to be desired. Albany just doesn’t get it. But maybe the City does. Listening to DM @MTorresSpringer discuss City of Yes morning, it’s pretty clear the Mayor’s housing team understands the nature of the housing crisis. I say that as a harsh Adams critic.

CORRECT
Hard to believe NYS pols when they say they’re “committed” to solving the housing crisis b/c they definitely weren’t committed last year when they did absolutely nothing about it. Pretty clear preserving rent stabilization is more important to them than a long term housing fix.

If your plan is reliant on public money that will likely never materialize, then it’s not really a plan. Zoning and code reform is the only affordability lever that municipalities can actually pull. The other levers, if you will, are jammed by a reactionary Congress.

@SEASolicitorCJS I have good news for you. PhDs at Columbia are fully funded and come with a stipend. You're not paying to forgive student loans that fund this. (Hell, you're not "paying" to forgive anybody's student loans, but that's a separate point.)
@CamCanCatan @opinonhaver There's like 5 or 6 with like ~500 members each I guess. Ppl will say im wrong for this but I think mine socialistmajority.com and Groundwork are the 2 that have views representative of most members who don't show up to all the votes - less trotskyist stuff less archaic ideas
@CamCanCatan @opinonhaver I worked for AOC so you could say that yes lol. We vote in the branches of NY (ex: queens), as NYC as a whole yearly and every two years on the national stuff (which is basis of most of current dispute. The branch vote is direct vote, the second 2 are via convention delegates
@mcpli We're stuck with these Trump ghouls for decades. Any liberal/progressive person who isn't voting for Biden needs to consider the ramifications of Trump putting more ghouls on the bench. Do you value democratic rights, free speech, privacy rights, etc.? B/c they're going bye bye.
Keir Starmer is so evil, he's preemptively doing everything he possibly can to ruin my ability to enjoy watching the Tories lose in a landslide after a decade and a half in power.
🚨 BREAKING: Labour will ban trans women from female hospital wards, confirms Keir Starmer. Starmer told ITV today he agrees with NHS reforms that would ban trans people from single-sex wards. When asked if trans women should be allowed on women's wards, he said: "I disagree".
Guys I worked really hard over the weekend and late last night and all today and made a work deadline I didn't think I was gonna make!! job saved!!
This is a conundrum— the protests at Columbia were harmless, and the hysterical response was out of proportion to a bunch of tents in a courtyard. Instead of allowing the admins to humiliate themselves with escalating hysteria, the students smashed windows & broke into a building
They pretty much have to do this. Their university would collapse into total anarchy if they didn't deal extremely harshly with people who break into a university building by smashing a window with a hammer They should also press felony charges on the ringleaders
Gentrification discourse in this country is supremely cursed. Repopulating Detroit is a good thing. With repopulation comes increased services, infrastructure, and better education.
The idea that Detroit suffers from gentrification is a wild fantasy.
I have a theory that what gets white-flight suburbs to rejoin cities is the looming bankruptcies. Except for the very richest, suburbs were always running on borrowed time as infrastructure fails and the tax base isn't large enough to fix it. theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

@SwannMarcus89 My fave was a guy explaining that public sector unions are important because elected government is not representative of the people, but DSA unions are hostile entities because they dare to negotiate against the true people’s representatives, the DSA Nat’l Political Committee
The DSA slowly going bankrupt while its unpaid leadership committee publicly fights with the employees' union on twitter is the most on-brand way for the organization to die
I just read this really inspiring piece of writing. It says that my contribution to a cycle of violence will be the completely justified one that ends the cycle! Wow, has anyone considered this before?
Wanting low-income housing in your own neighborhood is now a right-wing position, apparently
@yhdistyminen @PIHillBelichick I’d have to see the details. And yes it does strike me as reaganite, you won’t support tenants nor any plans to decommodify housing. You’re no better than a right winger. Actually worst because at least they have a spine.
You certainly wouldn’t know this from the crowds of tourists visiting and the number residents out each day living their lives.
CUOMO ON NEW YORK: Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo put it this way Sunday at a Brooklyn church: “The truth is New York is in crisis and it feels out of control — there is a growing sense that it is lawless and rudderless.” 🤔
@CliffConnolly how is this any different than the typical argument against public sector unions
“the Democrat party”
biden will tell you donald trump is bad and must be defeated at any cost, but he's spending all his time supporting evil & unpopular foreign policy, cracking down on student protests, & banning young people's favourite app. in an election year! that's the democrat party for ya
