Honey you can’t fix him.

Step one is admitting this is the most lib-coded personality trait. Step two is building the courage to tell yourself it’s not your fault and you deserve better.

Why don’t you want to live closer to the coast?

The rare day when the marine layer is so squished that air in the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley is better than the coast. Also it’s 65F here near the coast and it feels so cold; I’m so used to the SGV!!

Even the people dunking on Stancil by observing that houses are more expensive now & people wait longer to buy them are missing the bigger point, which is that the problem is not whether we have enough money, but whether we have enough desirable houses.

I don’t think it’d be Roberts saving Trump’s ass, it’s Project 2025 types playing it perfectly. They got a megalomaniacal buffoon to rip through the parts of the government they don’t like, a charismatic simpleton to take the fall, & a court that will restrain them only on conservative ideology.

The health risk is greatest for the largely low-income and Latino residents who live near the lake...The tests showed a “clear association” between poorer lung function and the distance from which people lived from the lake.

I would honestly pay any amount of money to see him argue this case in front of SCOTUS himself. I genuinely want him to explain, at length in a public forum, what he thinks tariffs are and how they work.

"Housing costs and fertility" marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevo... "rising costs since 1990 are responsible for 11% fewer children, 51% of the total fertility rate decline between the 2000s and 2010s, and 7 percentage points fewer young families in the 2010s" 👀

When I first moved to Cincinnati, I knew there was a bus to the city from the airport, but I couldn't find it. The people at the information desk told me where it was and said that it was intentionally hard to find, so people would give up and get a taxi.

The secret here is that airport authorities kind of don’t want good airport transit for passengers; it would wreck parking fees, rideshare and taxi fees, etc. (It does make sense for employees who aren’t going to pay $50/day to park and take up road capacity from people who will.)

As anyone who works in transportation can tell you… airport authorities pretty much print money, from gate fees, parking fees, and concessions. They are really the ONLY clients in the transportation sector that are actually self sufficient off user fees except maybe the Class 1 railroads.

True on some level, but misleading. Air traffic controllers are paid (or, right now, not paid) by the FAA, with funding from user fees generated from taxes on airline tickets, jet fuel, etc. – not (at least not mostly?) out of general federal government revenues. usafacts.org/articles/who...

521-525 rue Bélanger, Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie Built in 1914. 2 units. 3 stories. 254 m2.

Some of these Montreal floor plans… two units ground level, one on the second floor, two on the third?

For old times sake

This is messed up

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Wtf is going on w his hair. Like a Hannibal Lecter patient.

I like this new math. Derivative of x^2 is abs(x)

To paraphrase what we should have done after the GFC, you could save the banks without saving the bankers

Many of the most important Caltrain stops look like bus depots in rural New Mexico. Let people build some towers near the stops, ffs, and there will be enough tax revenue.

Random thought / question: is the section 230 reform we really need requiring algorithms to be open source?

i wrote a thing on this like a decade ago it's part of why condo fees in berlin and other cities are so low www.theurbanist.org/2018/08/22/i...

One way to reduce condo defect liability: stop forcing architects to design buildings that leak. HCD’s “objective design standards” guide *encourages* making building envelopes more complex, heightening leak and therefore defect lawsuit risk cao-94612.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/documents/Ap...

hmmm what kind of features could be being looked at there, I wonder, what kind indeed

Here are stacked flats, 6 storey single stair, combined with 3 lane fronting townhouse units to make a courtyard space. 70'x122' lot. We're trying to see if this approach can compete with the typical Vancouver RM-4 building that would completely fill the lot and have more units.

Took my first scooter ride in a while today (been doing Metro bike) and it’s so depressing what a missed opportunity that was for cities. We did to scooters everything we should have done to cars: - capped speeds with governors - refused to give curb space - made heavy pedestrian areas no go zones

Welcome aboard

Starting to think that being a chad just meant being capable of bathing and dressing yourself and treating women like adults.

The soybean farmers… the crypto bros… Mike Lindell… I’ll happily pay taxes so they can get unemployment and SNAP after they’ve been ruined

Southern name, guaranteed. The one thing you gotta hand the south is funny names.

If reversing the fertility decline were my thing, I would have this tattooed on my forehead.

Anyone can come watch ballot processing and counting in Los Angeles County through the glass windows and in a cordoned area. We got a special tour walking through the processing floor. Book that in advance. YU worked at a vote center until 10:30 PM yesterday & came for the tour. They have bike racks

Watching one of 22 optical scanners read ballots. A few minutes later, the ballot count update added another 120,000. Now over 2M ballots have been processed+counted in LA County (5.8 M registered voters). On the processing floor, only green pens and gold pencils are allowed (invisible to scanner)

Deliverance country.

TerraEsperanza in Guatemala City shows what’s possible with the flexibility of single-stair design — a vibrant, 10-story mixed-use building on a small lot. Designed by Mexico City's Legorreta + Legorreta, the project floats above the grade plane and provides a variety of unit sizes.

This is a great piece on efforts to envision a truly transformational regional rail system for So Cal. Looks at all these publicly-owned tracks! We should have have 15 minute peak service running under overhead wires powered by 100% renewable energy.

the most obvious way for Zohran to tie his climate and affordability promises together is to get New York to build hundreds of thousands of transit-oriented apartments
