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
I have too much fun with these people
My nighttime shows right now are The Night Of — a gritty HBO drama about a man accused of a grisly murder — and the Golden Girls. I contain multitudes.
U.S. Rep. Summer Lee says she voted for Joe Biden today at her local precinct in Swissvale. “Whoever it is that they vote for, I encourage people to come out, make their voices heard. That’s a part of the process, especially in the primary.”
Someone moving onto my street hired Two Men and a Truck, and there are four men. Calling the BBB.
We need a moratorium on Jack Antonoff producing albums by female artists until we can figure out what’s going on.
This is the reporting I’m here for.
I wish St Vincent was just playing Stage AE. I really want to see her on this your, but I’m not sure I want to deal with the clusterfuck Sudden Little Thrills seems like it will be.

The speed with which I bought a ticket to see Sleater-Kinney at Smalls. Also, now I have a ticket to see Faye Webster at Stage AE I can’t use.

Just read the Annie Dillard eclipse essay and now I’m hoping the total eclipse doesn’t make me panic tomorrow. At least I’ll be with friends.
The US native-born, working age population has been shrinking since 2015 and will continue. Folks that complain about "all net job growth going to immigrants" will be able to continue their faux outrage but miss the point: it's all driven by demographics and we need immigrants
Really digging the new Vampire Weekend. Seriously considering taking a few days off work in September, booking a hotel room, and seeing VW at Blossom on Thursday, National/War on Drugs Saturday, and spending two days bumming around Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
My mail-in ballot came. I’m starting to enjoy the ritual of filling these out with @SpotlightPA’s voter guides for races where my choice isn’t 100% clear (AG and Treasurer this year). I do mail-in because I work elections, but it’s an all-around great way to vote.
A friend said I remind her of Paul Giamatti in an Alexander Payne film, but I should take it as a compliment. I’m not sure how to feel about this.

Why does Pittsburgh not understand that downtown is not the thing that's going to bring people back to the city? Increased tourism is great and all but it's not consistent. Pittsburgh needs people. Pittsburgh needs housing for those people.
