It’s (crab)apple season and our favorite tree in Joseph Lee Park is absolutely loaded with them. Might be because a black locust started growing right next to it, and that fixes delicious nitrogen into the soil.

There are two days of the week that naturally contain the word "boobs":

According to BPD stats this morning, Baltimore's homicide count is now down more than 71.% from the same time in 2022. Since 1970, there has never been a total below 50 at this point in the year. The previous record low was set in 2025, last year.

How do upzonings impact housing supply? In brand-new research published today @urbaninstitute.bsky.social, we show that big upzonings in New York City & Philadelphia had large, statistically significant effects on supply & permitting with several years of reforms. www.urban.org/research/pub...

Neighborhood scale upzonings increased housing production in many NYC neighborhoods

Upzoned block faces saw significant increases in housing unit permits in Philadelphia

A couple days ago I had a pair of garden shears fall out of my pocket and into a storm drain. Not willing to take the loss, I bought a fishing magnet to try to get it out, only to realize the grate is itself magnetic, and it wasn’t practical to actually get it through.
