It’s kind of sad we now live in an era where it’s genuinely shocking when an advocacy org maintains consistency on their issue even if it contradicts larger coalition concerns

“The most dangerous aspect of riding transit is walking to and from the stop, because the death rate per mile of walking is alarmingly high. To be clear, though, this is mostly not people falling into holes or being attacked with knives — they’re being hit by cars.”
Now that YIMBY-backed zoning and streamlining reforms have legalized a lot more housing, this is going to be the barrier to abundance: costs. An endless thicket of individually small mandates have pushed costs above what prices can handle, especially in blue cities/states.

Just when I think I’ve heard all the arguments against new housing, a new argument appears: Building homes hurts small businesses! The opposite is true: Building homes *helps* small businesses by bringing more customers & giving their workers a shot at living near their work.
Josh Shapiro: "I was on a Spanish language radio program in the Allentown area just the other day. The host was asking me a bunch of questions about the work we're doing, and he said something really chilling to me -- that he now has to think about what topics he's going to…
Yes, raising kids in New York is challenging and expensive, but you reach such incredible levels of freedom and experience when they get to be about 9. Makes it all worth it.
David Letterman, speaking on his career as a comedian mocking presidents, tells @JeffreyGoldberg: “Beating up on these people, rightly or wrongly, accurately or perhaps inaccurately, in the name of comedy—not once were we squeezed by anyone from any governmental agency, let alone…
I walked 26 miles around New York today, starting in Yonkers and ending at the Brooklyn Bridge. I’m really sore but had a great time!
We had a great keynote speech from North Dakota Governor Kelly Armstrong. He told me he would sign a bill to eliminate minimum parking requirements if that came to his desk. #yimbytown
Today, 4-6 pm. Express your concerns and confusion!
It's ghoulish to mock or justify the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Rising political violence is a horror of our time. Unchecked it will lead to catastrophes none of us want to imagine. Deeply hoping he pulls through. We are all people, whatever we believe. That has to come first.
The shooting of Charlie Kirk is horrifying. We cannot normalize or condone violence of any kind, especially across political differences. Minneapolis has recently been impacted and traumatized by a similar disregard for life. Gun violence must end.
An open forum for political dialogue and disagreement was upended by a horrific act of targeted violence. In America, we don’t settle our differences with violence or at gunpoint. I’m praying for Charlie, his family, and his young children.

2. In @ScienceMagazine today an important report on PM 2.5 increasing the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) with dementia (Lewy bodies, LBD) with 3 parts (A,B,C) A. Higher risk in >56 million Medicare population with chronic PM2.5 exposure for PD and LBD science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
California is on track to lose Congressional seats. We are aging as a state—all because we aren't building housing. California should be a place where graduates, seniors, families and workers can afford to live and thrive. That will take building much more housing, much quicker.
No they aren't. For the past 20 years, highways are funded by your general fund taxpayer dollars, because the taxes on gas and diesel are nowhere near sufficient for the amount of road construction and maintenance we have to do.
The argument is: We're all meant to sacrifice a bit, so that tariffs can help rebuild American manufacturing. Let's ask American manufacturers whether they're helping.
Built in 1800, this 3-family fits perfectly on a 4,000sf lot. It would be illegal to build today. Zoning now demands: 🚫 1F only 🚫 15,000sf lot 🚫 5 parking spaces 🚫 Giant setbacks We celebrate “historic charm” while outlawing the very homes that create it. 📍 Salem, MA
Nine former CDC directors who served under Republican and Democratic presidents warn that the damage RFK Jr is doing to America's public health system is "unlike anything our country has ever experienced."
“That is why countries from Romania to the United States adopted a universal birth-dose strategy. It acts as a safety net: every newborn is protected immediately, regardless of maternal records or testing logistics.” @RuxandraTeslo writingruxandrabio.com/p/your-newborn…
