A fun game I play is to search California left-NIMBY posts for any mention of Article 34, the provision in the CA constitution that gives NIMBY homeowners a veto vote over any social housing projects. So far it's like searching for cryptids.

WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.” Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV.

Even that headline, as bad as it is, minimizes how bad this is. They were also charged with possession of child porn and were planning on raping children.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke. IG bscomedian

LA City Charter Reform Commission just voted to recommend expanding the Los Angeles City Council from 15 to 23-31 seats!! This will be HUGE for reducing the influence of money in our local politics.

It is so funny to watch Stancil argue that political narratives drive public opinion on one hand and then argue that public opinion is mostly immutable for housing on the other.

Zoning started with the goals of encouraging segregation and car dependence a century ago. It is a moral imperative to abolish it.

Urbanism—the notion that cities are good, that we should build housing in the dense walkable neighborhoods where people want to live, and that urban governance should prioritize city residents’ quality of life over suburban drivers’ convenience—remains a radical political program in America.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

In fact, much of the SoCal coastal plain could see 2-4+ inches between Thu & Mon. That is pretty impressive for a Nov storm in this part of the state! In fact, at least localized flash flooding (esp. near recent wildfire zones & in other susceptible spots) is certainly possible.

Really sucks we spent the 2010s zero interest rate decade debating "Housing for Whom?" with the dumbest people on Earth and now that we've finally begun to change some important laws, interest rates are high, there's a tariff on every building material and construction labor is getting deported.

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.
