Twenty YEARS later, this is what those ingenious government planning experts have done with Suzette Kelo’s house.

A “modern-day” monopoly is apparently when four highly efficient firms, none of which holds a majority market share nor has the ability to control market prices on its own, collectively possess a high market share.

Btw if you guys are impressed by the marriage trends for college educated women, the trend for high earning women will blow your mind.

Mamdani recognizes that housing supply is important, but he's deeply committed to the "everything bagel" that stops housing supply from actually getting built.

New American Enterprise Institute map: US housing shortage visualized by county. Under an estimated ~6M housing shortfall, the geographic imbalance is staggering. Counties in red face deficits ≥15% of their housing stock.

Housing deficit is concentrated out West, where there is also lots of federally owned land. Hmm.

if only there were a large landowner in those western states which could sell some land to allow more housing to be built

The US government taxes younger workers trying to start families, and gives their money to wealthier retirees. There is no moral or economic justification for this abomination.

New American Enterprise Institute map: Under Mike Lee’s proposal, developing just 0.05% of BLM land —180 sq mi, excluding ALL protected areas— could yield ~1M homes over 10 years. This could significantly reduce the ~2.8M-home shortage in the Western U.S. while returning ~$15B to the Treasury. Map⬇️

Once the Governor of California signs the law passed out of the legislature today, all new housing under 50 units in San Francisco will be exempt from CEQA, period. Wow.

In an effort to make San Francisco even more unaffordable, Supervisors are planning to ban natural gas appliances in renovation projects. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/nat…

This is crazy and kind of heartbreaking. In a huge survey of young kids about phones and technology, they all say they want to be out playing in the real world. But parents don't let them out unsupervised. So they're stuck on their phones. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Say it with me. Developers are not the problem, they are the solution.

So, thanks to Trump's tariffs, American parents no longer have this beloved clothing option, AND the American franchise-owner (and her US employees) no longer has a viable business (and is thus closing down). More to come. wsj.com/business/retai…

Today’s shooting of Charlie Kirk is a horrendous act of terror. Political disagreements are not an excuse for violence. All Americans, regardless of their political views, need to speak out, condemn this act, and rededicate themselves to civil discourse.

I am so sad for Charlie Kirk, his family, & our country. You don’t shoot someone because you disagree. In fact, you don’t even yell at someone because you disagree. You just have a conversation like mature adults & maybe even learn something from the convo. Give it a try.

The Economist published this article that's contentious but probably right: It argues that laws protecting labour in much of Europe make lay-offs so onerous that high-risk moonshot projects become unviable. Making it easier to fire people could, weirdly, benefit everyone.
