George Coffey @georgecoffey.bsky.social · 18/09/2026This is especially insane given that the related helicopter crash will be fully investigated by the NTSB and based on those findings changes may result, and yet with the car crash we're just gonna say "oh the driver was drunk, better luck next time" 020

George Coffey @georgecoffey.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I'm so sick of the free transit thing. As if Metro wasn't burdened enough by it's own wasteful nonsense already, Bass is out giving it more slopulism to carry. 010

Reposted by George CoffeyMax Dubler 🏳️🌈 @maxdubler.com · 13/03/2026Good morning. Someone is always going to make money on housing. Personally, I think it is better for developers to make money building new homes for people to live in than for landlords and homeowners to continue getting rich off of artificial housing scarcity. 315927

Reposted by George CoffeyJames Fallows @jfallows.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Agree. There should never have been a DHS. (Argued that at the time.) Nor the "Patriot" Act. Every Democrat, every actual patriot, should start with abolishing the modern gestapo that is "ICE." 16663153

Reposted by George CoffeyStan Oklobdzija @stano.bsky.social · 27/12/2025More fundamentally, the political tension in American cities right now is between a faction who exists to protect the rents of incumbent interests and another who is allergic to any idea of trade-offs because they think there's a magic button that eliminates scarcity and only they will press it. 214621

Reposted by George CoffeyWill Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 17/10/2025It’s extremely funny because the online fringe can’t decide if No Kings is either a terrifying brush with death or a do-nothing wine mom fake protest, and it becomes kind of clear after a while they just feel angst about stuff happening in reality 1223319
