"there was some surprise at the City Council meeting to hear from a faith-based group, not a typical voice in affordable housing policy conversations." Why is this?

Gotta build stuff so people want to stay!

I don't think I'm a large adult son?

The rents are too damn high.

Not sure if it's s story or an interesting tidbit. I like it.

This quote gets me: "Terry Drew, a deacon at the church, has struggled with his assessment of President Trump’s morality. “We don’t like it,” he said, “but we look at the alternative, and think it could be worse than this.”", that an unknown Democrat would somehow be worse, especially on abortion.

That's a lot of dark money.

Missed this!

Holy crap.

Some good points in here but Ben needs to do some reading in academia.

Ever so slightly socialist is not crazy.

Yayyyyyy

This seems like it should be an easy one.

Kinda funny how no one wants to be associated with him. Kallstadt sounds familiar... maybe from Baroque cycle?

There's a lot to like here. Urban areas forming more cohesive political units at the federal level is an interesting idea.

Pervasive sexism makes me wonder how they've managed to tell so many good stories :o(

"Godwin’s Law was never meant to block us from challenging the institutionalization of cruelty" Great points here about being a scholar of history and knowing when a comparison is apt.

Some good points in here. I was certainly interested more in Girl Scouts than Boy Scouts! But I wasn't non-conforming in the usual gender ways, just not competitive or physical.

Praise addiction? Yeah a little bit. Being told how smart I was just because the expected behaviors for kids were easy? Hell yeah. I don't feel super sad about it now because I mostly measure myself in different ways? Though I do sometimes miss the validating grades.

I don't want the bridge to close but I also don't want a replacement that is just for cars.

Really does have that Handmaid's Tale vibe

Bad for Canada, bad for Washington, bad for the world.

Hopefully this is blocked by local lawsuits?

Less damning than I expected from headline, mostly because it's not surprising.

Interesting speculation on which Brooklyn 99 characters seem neurodivergent.

Municipal archives? Don't mind if I do! We're on plate 6.

I knew zoning involved red lining post war but I didn't know how much single family zoning was about blocking non-whites from moving into certain areas.

Good points. Pretty much how I feel (with the excuse of having been born here).

Wow!

I mean I'm grumpy about vegans who give vegans a bad name, with bad slavery allusions or obnoxious policies or fat shaming.
