Avg #NYC zip code vacancy rates (2015-19) vs median HH income and max allowable FAR. The Bronx is squeezed on both ends--low income and low FAR mean major affordability problems.

If you look at housing construction rates in #NewYorkCity over the last 125 years, one thing is clear: more supply keeps prices and check. But #housing has to be built at a fast enough clip and across the entire city. buildingtheskyline.org/housing-twenti…

In case RFK Jr convinced you that he is not anti-vax, but merely "skeptical" & concerned about vaccine safety...look here NIH is terminating awards to obtain reliable data on vaccine hesitancy & ways to improve uptake. This is an explicitly anti-vax policy. Link in reply👇

Earlier I shared an article here about how Musk is destroying our disease-detection systems. And how we will definitely regret it. But Musk’s own social media megaphone throttled my post. So I’m telling you here—I’m attaching a gift link in the post below. Share it. Read it.

Currently, 33% of #NYC land (exclusive of parks, cemeteries & airports) is used for one- and two-family homes. (It goes up to 42% with 1- & 2- fam. + vacant land). Such use of land, esp. near subways, is what makes housing so scarce and unaffordable.

Many see the TX measles outbreak as unusual. It’s a unique community w/ unusually low vaccination rates. However, it’s an example of a dangerous trend. Each year more & more communities have dangerously low vaccination rates. Some examples & maps inside. troytassier.substack.com/p/why-the-gain…

This is truly amazing. The Deputy White House Press Secretary is claiming that I'm wrong, and that the "tariff rates" on Trump's chart were calculated by "literally" measuring every country's tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers. To prove it, he screenshots the formula the USTR

Just learned that my wife’s thesis advisor & my thesis advisor each had a book pulled from the Naval Academy Library last week. In their honor, please check out the list of books they banned, and go buy one of them! Lots of great titles to choose from! navy.mil/Press-Office/P…
