In NYC, most street space isn’t for people, it’s for cars. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Why is a $4 hot dog suddenly $14 inside a stadium? The answer explains a lot more than just ballpark prices.

There's a pretty consistent trend in the Midwest-- cities that built more housing (or increased housing relative to population) slowed rent increases

The evidence is clear: building a lot of new housing at all income levels keeps prices down—and reduces homelessness. This great new video by @justineunderhill.bsky.social will likely be the first thing I send people getting interested in the housing crisis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQW4...
