Hero. Im not a particularly anxious person but 70% of the anxious thoughts I have are about my kids getting hit by a car. We should all support people who do this stuff.

Let's not let post-apartheid policy off the hook: apartheid-era zoning is still on the books in most South African cities, reserving close-in, high-opportunity neighborhoods exclusively for single-family homes on large lots. (Sound familiar, America?)

Unbelievable. Just spoke to a guy who worked on the Marin Voluntary Compliance Agreement with HUD on AFFH. He just told me Marin is white because minorities don't like the outdoors. He justified this by quoting stats on visits to national parks.

There really is no reason anyone should be using free ChatGPT-3.5 anymore. Not only can you still get GPT-4 access for free through Microsoft Copilot (in creative mode), but if you want a GPT-3.5 class model, Llama 3 is much better & free (for now), here: meta.ai

Another reminder that, as a state, California lacks real climate leadership. The plan is to futz around with bad technology for a decade or two and then, maybe, reconsider doing the right thing.

8 children killed in Israeli strike while playing foozeball, CNN reports, showing, w/permission, faces and bodies of the dead & the cries of grieving parents. Every 10 min a child is killed or injured in Gaza, per reporter Jeremy Diamond.

Our project is on the same lot and contains 8 additional units and needs to be majorly rehabbed due to

It's impossible to relay the story of John Elberling without sounding like an insane person

Everyone’s dunking on this, but it’s admirably honest that the alternative to building more is no one having a guest bedroom, a home office, or space for kids they haven’t had yet. And that permanent flat sharing into middle age will be the norm.

Refreshingly straightforward!

How dare Yee lie & claim TODCO wasn’t aware “of the issues raised today” - that’s a lie.

Understudied: the fact that developers would rather build low-income housing with ministerial approval than expensive housing with full review is concrete proof that California's land use policy kills market rate affordable housing.

I want to offer my deep gratitude to the people who bravely went on record for this story—most notably the 3 women coming forward now & Perigo.

Thanks for reading. 🙏
