Denver: rents down 7.6% to $1,570 for a 1br. SF: rents up 25.4% to $4,400 for a 1br. Seriously wild.

I’ve spent 15 years arguing that more home building means landlords actually have to compete for tenants and they just… mailed it out. www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco...

Ok glad that this article clarifies (I think) whether Vanderbilt owns the original Oakland campus of CCA (always CCAC to me). www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco...

coda: as I said “policing was not the sole or maybe even primary cause” of the major drop in large city homicide shown below BUT on many levels I would love to have an explanation for NYC’s earlier drop than “Giuliani”

One of my biggest concerns with hardline anticarceralism / ACAB is that, fundamentally, crime mostly hurts poor people. This reporting from @berkeleyscanner.com is an example - two working class kids killed in crossfire. I’m sure your cities have similar stories.

@goingmedieval.bsky.social I really enjoyed this episode - great to hear the joy and pride of the weavers. best version of “dancing about architecture” (podcasting about a visual / tactile art).

hmm there’s trees in front - it didn’t feel totally On Stage - but I didn’t look at that aspect carefully. But maybe would have been a good place for Naked Guy

she wasn’t sterilized, but “lobotomized because you run away from convent school” is probably worst - the case of Rose Kennedy (sister of JFK, RFK Sr, and Ted)

just tuning in to Scottsdale here and, on brand, it’s very corporation driven.

Brilliant suggestion, how do you suggest doing so?

well, basically “fairness”. I think the summary below is accurate - 80% of power costs are actually grid costs. and a lot of that is the need to simply keep the grid connected - it doesn’t vary much by consumption (at least residential levels, multi-MW DCs are another thing) …

Personally I think this has a much larger impact on many more people’s quality of life than anything the construction might produce. Median home sale price is ~$1.7m in the area, rent seems to be about $4500 and above for ~anything~ (except for a 250 sf studio).

probably the former. I can see other posts but not that one. (and the first post I can see is utterly unsurprising)

This is one of the weirder statements to me. Almost every Black american in a non-Southern city is by definition a transplant or a descendant of one. We absolutely need to have policies that minimize displacement of current inhabitants - but trying to block new people isn’t it (and doesn’t work).

if the president campaigns more it will have a major impact on the midterms

I too urge the GOP to get Trump out there more to explain the logic of the Iran war, I’m sure that will be very impactful

It really says something for the culture of this site that every day 1-2 people block me, none of whom I’ve had any interaction with. I don’t even particularly enjoy arguing with people - I assume these people are just blocking people with opinions they don’t like.
