Wow.... you're telling me that builidng housing.... keeps housing prices lower? Who could have seen this coming. This is such a twist.
Just cast Dev Patel as James Bond already!

California has failed, decade after decade, to undo destructive and exclusionary housing policy that puts the views and asset appreciation of incumbent land owners above the right to be housed of young, new and lower income people. NIMBYism is a scourge.

And finally, the optimal vacancy rate is ~10%* and the ideal ratio of vacant units to homeless people is ~5,000 to one. We should just build lots of homes so that everyone can afford one and nobody is homeless. *for renters and new buyers, not landlords and property owners
Further, homeless people are not the only people who need homes! Lots of people would like to move out of their parents’ place, ditch their roommates, leave bad relationships, or otherwise start new households but can’t because the rent’s too damn high. Build homes for them, too!
The world is small and whatever industry you go into is even smaller. Beyond "being able to do the job," the most important thing about you will be, "Do people enjoy working with you?" Focus on making the answer to that a "yes" and everything else will work out.

I think something most people really hate about electoral politics is that the question of who wins and who loses is in fact very important in a way that something stupid like Coda winning Best Picture isn’t.
If You Want Affordable Housing, You Need Affordable Construction (republishing a blog post I wrote in 2021) lahpi.org/if-you-want-af…
Not to pick on national media but the fact that every time it dips below 32 degrees Texans need to prep survival kits because of Greg Abbott and the Texas GOP’s colossal incompetence and laziness seems like it should be a bigger deal
Housing is expensive because we have a housing shortage that is especially acute in high-opportunity cities like NYC, LA, and SF. The solution to this problem is to get rid of the zoning that preserves this artificial scarcity and build more homes in places people want to live.
Barely a third of the transactions being taxed by LA's "mansion tax" actually involve...mansions. And as much as 50% of the taxed transactions may involve efforts to build more affordable apartments. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Same, but for the first time.
I sound moderately insane when I say this out loud but the people who are in charge of your streets know how to prevent crashes and keep people safe and consciously choose not to do it because they value motorists’ speed and convenience over people’s lives.
It's remarkable to me that this obsessive commitment to safety almost exclusively applies to air travel. We should absolutely be doing this with urban intersections where fatalities happen.

The microdata revolution confirms that new, market-rate housing benefits all renters, including poor people. This study adds to the emerging 'migration chains' literature, which uses fine-grained data to answer the question, 'housing for whomst?' as 'everyone.'

I asked an AI to create Wonder Man in his Marvel comics prime with a 1990s era appropriate image and
I think a fully YIMBified Greater Los Angeles would grow into a megacity dwarfing Tokyo.
If anything bad happens politically in 2024 it’s because you personally didn’t make or amplify the right posts. We’re one good hashtag campaign away from fixing everything so the world is counting on you.

People vary in how much sleep they need to function at full capacity, which I think winds up being a really underrated source of advantage.
@TX17ChuckWilson I think it’s fewer people working on farms
I hope some studio exec is watching this Ryan Gosling Oscars performance and decides to greenlight The Nice Guys 2
The murder rate went up during Trump’s presidency and down during Biden’s. It’s unfortunately that we’re not all the way back to where we were pre-Trump but I’m skeptical that bringing Trump back is the solution there.
I’m not at the Academy Awards tonight. That said, a movie I produced just hit Netflix and I’ve never been busier as a writer and actor. Four years ago I watched the Oscars from my bartending shift. I hope to one day be in that room but for now - keep going. It’s all possible.
Man, you've got to admit the casting director for the New Mickey Mouse Club really knew what the hell they were doing
If Democrats don’t quickly figure out that urban NIMBYism is *the number one domestic policy issue* and that it’s *primarily caused by members of their own party who run US cities,* they are doomed. Sucks to say it. But it’s the truth.
Neighborhoods are kind of like blue jeans in that they don’t really look right until they’re a little bit weathered and worn in. This neighborhood will be very charming in 15 or 20 years when the trees grow in and some of the homes have been repainted.
So this means they're now going to accidentally announce Poor Things for Best Picture.
Congrats to Cord Jefferson! Giving all of us former print journalists turned television writers Oscar hopes. Great speech too.

Republicans, realizing they fucked up by lowering the bar for Biden, are now complaining that “Sleepy Joe” is actually *too* energetic.
No one is going to remember a single thing Biden says tonight. Everyone is going to remember how weirdly amped up he is and how bizarrely fast he’s speaking.
