COURAGE is when you're a night-shift custodian, who protects students by taking on a masked intruder all by yourself - while cosplaying, tenured professors in matching safety vests sit outside, letting others implement the doctrine of destruction they teach. @Columbia University
it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work
@bhargreaves fun to see you quoted in the @AppFolio earnings call yesterday :)
“Be glad — be grateful — that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists. I’ve never murdered anyone in my life, and I *hope* to keep it that way.” This is a top leader of @Columbia’s encampment, with whom the school is “negotiating,” expanding on his thoughts about how Israel…
I love a great aphorism. Credit to Jeff Carswell for calling out this quote from @morganhousel (shout out to @bhargreaves and Thesis Driven for a great RE / proptech newsletter)
People who ask "what happened in 1971?" are usually talking about the end of Bretton Woods But this - along with the simultaneous expansion of zoning - is a much, much more plausible explanation for the problems that started around then

Is it “ceasefire now” or “burn Tel Aviv to the ground”? Is it “ceasefire now” or “H*mas, H*mas we love you, we support your rockets too”? Pick one. Either you’re against war or for it, but if your assertions about “humanity” are limited to protecting innocent life on one side…
“Why can’t they address a problem created by central planning within a central planning framework?”

this is the population growth chart of Fargo, North Dakota (the oil fields are on the other side of the state, so it's not that)

When do office conversions make sense, and when don’t they? - office vacancy, all time high❗ - housing supply, all time low ❗❗ This week's Thesis Driven explores scenarios where adaptive reuse makes sense (a thread):
I've made plenty of mistakes in my career but the CFPB never banned me from making loans so maybe I did alright
Should we build more homes? No, let’s expropriate spare bedrooms! The UK is cursed

At the end of the line of Financialization there is an economy with just two industries: Insurance and Asset Origination. An ourousboros of payment flows with no actual value creation.
This story is so bizarre. Someone named Schenley Vital... Who runs the Rockland County Democratic Committee...! Is suing Nyack for denying his permit to build "coliving clubhouses"... It's madlibs rcbizjournal.com/2024/04/12/cha…
Writing an upcoming Thesis Driven piece about new-age construction materials that are either: - cheaper - stronger - better looking - weather/fire resistant - more sustainable Are you or someone you know working on this? @bhargreaves and I would love to learn more

Statement on situation at @Columbia: Free speech is a fundamental American right. But the actions of the protesters—destroying property, blocking fellow students from access to Hamilton Hall and other parts of campus, continued use of antisemitic rhetoric—this is harmful to 1/2
the entire university community and can’t continue. Those engaging in such actions must be held accountable. With finals next week and commencement soon after, I urge Columbia to remove students who've engaged in unlawful actions so campus life can resume as soon as possible. 2/2

When "a peaceful protest" causes extreme fear, and becomes violent, there is nothing peaceful about it. History shows America has been down this road before when Black people suffered greatly. We will NOT support those who cause Jews to feel absolute terror.
First wave of Virginia State Police officers charge VCU protesters
These are pro-war protesters.
Last night at 1 in the morning, student demonstrators at Columbia University shattered windows to take over and occupy one of Columbia’s academic buildings. Students can be heard chanting, “we will honor all the martyrs,” “long live the intifada,” and “Israel will fall.” As of 2…
It is physically impossible to be over age of 25 and not want to cast these ppl into the sun You know how ppl under 15 can hear certain frequencies? Its like that but in reverse Hearing young ppl earnestly express insane ideas in therapy-speak is a form of torture for adults
Reporter grills Columbia student after she demands the university help feed protestors occupying Hamilton Hall: "It seems like you're saying, 'we want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building, now would you please bring us some food'."
Good start. Criminal charges should follow.
NEW: Columbia University says student protesters occupying Hamilton Hall face EXPULSION- students who do not commit to terms offered are NOW BEING SUSPENDED

The lack of diversity at Lowell has long been a blemish on San Francisco’s long-held academic crown jewel. Based on current trends, and a lack of any planned policy changes, that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. trib.al/S01xMOH
Columbia University President Minouche Shafik will be leaving tonight to Qatar to negotiate the release of Hamilton Hall.
Amen. The silence is LOUD. The echo is forever.
The hypocrisy is clear. I will forever remember the voices of the non-Jews who spoke up for us on Oct 7th & beyond. I will forever remember the silence.
Yeah if America was really free then Columbia students would be able to live in a little tent towns and occasionally hurl antisemitic slurs at passing Jews for an entire academic school year, not just most of one
America only looks like a free country if you don't dissent. The moment you challenge authority, the clubs come out and the true face of the society is revealed.
