A heck of a chart: in every single one of the 10 major US cities that built the most housing between 2017 and 2023, rents for older, existing units fell—often by quite a bit.

Tired: Pacific Northwest is rainy Wired: Kentucky is rainy.

We all made this joke when he chose “X” as the new name, but he went & actually did it.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

This is the kind of progressive taxation policy that shouldn’t be off the table, & we should continue pushing for reforming our existing taxes to be less regressive.

Jury duty rules—other than voting it’s the only way for ordinary citizens to participate in (what’s left of our) democracy. Also if you’re constantly scheming how to get out of jury duty you don’t get to act surprised when some all-white jury of septuagenarians lets some murdering cop off the hook.

Not crazy to say there was a much clearer criminal case against MBS, who ordered the murder of an American newspaper columnist, than there is against Maduro.

The concern trolls who claim every bike lane is a threat to public safety are typically silent on this kind of stuff.

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

Colin and Sophie Hortman, the children of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, are asking Trump to remove the false posts about their parents' killing:

An actual safety concern that advocates have highlighted for years rather than fake concerns trumpeted by the “park anywhere any time” crowd. bsky.app/profile/nyc....

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July 2025)

What AJ said. Would love to know why the Curbed NY archives have been offline for a while now. Losing those would mean losing years of history about the built environment, and that would really suck!

But Jerry Reinsdorf doesn’t think Benetti is funny, guys! I will never forgive Reinsdorf for chasing away Jason Benetti.

"You’ve got a 1940s Stalin problem inside the American military right now,” top US general tells @theguardian.com

Worth remembering that Trump’s 2017 sanctions against Venezuela helped spur outward migration. While Maduro should rightly be held responsible for running to the economy into the ground, Trump helped stomp on its remains. The migrant crisis is partly Trump’s doing. wapo.st/3LrC9Ke

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

fyi, the Climate Action Museum is at 300 S Riverside Plz Open Monday-Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM Saturday, 10 AM to 2 PM it's unstaffed but you can request a private group tour (I am one of the tour guides): www.climateactionmuseum.org/calendar

Every day a new reason to support articles of impeachment against RFK Jr...find the tools you need to add your support and demand that your Congressperson does the same www.standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

30% of Oregonians cannot or will not be a driver. However, 100% of Oregonians will, at some point, be a pedestrian. Drastic transit cuts--including half of a MAX line--should be a five-alarm fire, but it barely made a dent in the news cycle compared to a 6¢/gallon gas tax increase.

Cassidy has the professional background to rip RFK Jr. on medical and scientific grounds; every other senator who voted for him has the basic, everyday knowledge that is so plain, so obvious: that they have lived their lives with no fearj of measles, polio, tetanus, and other diseases.

This finding of "hidden" public support for green policies strongly echoes our work on pluralistic ignorance when it comes to non-car travel: most people support non-car travel more than car travel, but at the same time they believe this is a minority view

The archives for the old Curbed city sites have been offline for at least two weeks. If these sites are gone for good, it’s not just a loss for those who contributed to Curbed over the years, but a loss of ~15 years of reporting on new development, neighborhoods, and architecture criticism.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

the goal is killing kids and we should say so

“Marco Rubio as a teenager made extra cash working for his late brother-in-law Orlando Cicilia. The business imported and sold exotic animals as a front for moving nearly a half million pounds of cocaine and marijuana.”

i don't think it's that conspiratorial to say rape culture is driving our foreign policy

What could go wrong? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Everything Is Russiagate truly lol

Even if Trump’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro somehow led to a positive impact on Venezuela’s future, it would not make these actions by the United States legal, moral or wise. Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

And when the next round of files are released, he invades Greenland.

Juan Orlando Hernandez shows that the only thing different with Maduro is that he didn’t have intermediaries bribe the corrupt president of the United States. Impeachment of the entire executive structure is the only path out of this constitutional crisis.

My flight is in 24 hours & Sweet Home Chicago starts being played by the house musician. I have not tipped him off.

Trump posts footage of the Maduro raid set to "Fortunate Son" -- a protest song about the Vietnam War draft

While his cronies & associates profit off of the war via unregulated betting markets, an FBI that has all but ceased non immigration criminal investigations, & selling pardons to drug syndicate allies whose supply chain doesn’t run through that part of the Caribbean.

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

I am glad the saxophonist who was butchering Careless Whisper at the outdoor bar within earshot finally ended his set.

In the old days, we would seek comment on stories about climate change from experts in the field who have spent decades studying evidence of the effects of greenhouse gases and findingsolutions. That ends today. Now we'll get your uncle Rooster who you had that big argument with at Thanksgiving.

Mayor Zohran Mandami’s crime reduction strategy notches early win.

“Survey after survey has shown that business owners overestimate how many customers drive to their stores vs walking or biking. In a 2012 Los Angeles study, more than half of the store owners on the bike-laned part of the boulevard thought most of their customers drove. The actual number was 15%.”

Four score & seven feet from now you’re going to want to bear left onto the tree lined lane, if you pass the theater you’ve gone too far. - Lincoln Navigator probably

what’s happening with grok and nudity spam requests should be a global wake up call about AI image gen and instead very few media outlets have even covered it yet

Everywhere I go that I find pleasant places dealing with out of control housing costs, I also stumble upon empty parking lots that could fit hundreds of new residents.

He did it in an abandoned subway station, too. Setting priorities through cohesive storytelling. That’s something many good leaders do.

Americans do not have a "love affair" with cars, the term typically used in the media. Rather we are in an abusive relationship, wanting to leave but fearing the consequences.

Just watched a natural cock fight that shut down traffic outside of a gay bar. Where am I?

Why isn’t Market St. in Indianapolis pedestrianized from the State Capitol to the City/County building? I know it’s the same reasons that so many Chicago are still clogged with provate cars, but this stretch already has the brick treatment. Plant trees in the former parking lanes & it would thrive.
