Racism is the dumbest fucking reason to think you're better than somebody. There are so many relevant ways to do so that have nothing to do with someone's physical qualities! Lean in to those, you rubes!

Burning Man is off to a great start since I'm only halfway there & already have been asked to take multiple photos with strangers & a guy on the train @ SeaTac who was there to visit his friends who work there offered to buy me a drink & we met a lady who is moving from PDX to ATX & we besties now.

For the better part of a decade I've joked that California's chief export is the housing crisis, so this isn't a surprise to anyone who's had to move—or lives in a CA emigre destination.

Nithya Raman is right, and it shouldn’t be a point of contention. DSA urgently needs to improve on housing. Hardline anti-development NIMBYs play useful idiot to the bourgeoisie. Property owners’ investments increase in value when demand is high and supply is scarce.

i think people look at homelessness as a relatively new phenomenon and reason backwards to think that in the Before Times, poor people must've all been able to afford houses/their own apartments etc. Most of the housing types the poor used were actually just outlawed (boarding houses, SROs etc)

Perhaps a crazy thing to pitch here, but I think that we would, collectively, benefit from a National Day Off Social Media. Can still use the internet. Still watch Netflix, or read the NYT. Just no social media for 24 hrs. Even better: make IRL plans with friends. #logofftouchgrass

YIMBYism is absolutely a precondition for decarbonizing the United States and it drives me insane that a lot of legacy climate orgs, particularly here in California, remain hostile to dense housing construction. www.sightline.org/apartments-a...

I’m gonna be real with you all, I think that anyone who thinks America’s a shithole that isn’t worth saving isn’t worth listening to. The idea of a purifying revolution-to-come is a fantasy, a terminating piece of cope that keeps you from believing it’s worth putting in the work now.

just feels like it doesn't take much these days to make people demand your head on a platter and i think it's because there are much more important and deserving heads we'll never see on a platter so people are willing to take what they can get

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

As a millennial, there is little I would love more than to dunk on Gen Z. Alas, I may not throw workplace shade their way, as I see others doing so often. Anecdotal, so ymmv, but the Gen Zers I've worked with have overwhelmingly been capable, smart, curious, and ambitious.

Having a baby really underlines how fundamentally broken huge swathes of our society are. The kid? He rocks. The healthcare? The childcare? The community? Hugely dysfunctional. And we're a double-income household! If it's this bad for us... I have to think that it's brutal for many more

We recently ran a massive natural experiment on this. Covid 19 collapsed demand for urban housing in 2020, sending vacancy rates over 10% in new York and San Francisco for the first time in decades. Landlords desperate to fill their units slashed asking rents and loaded on concessions.

Housing is distributed by people’s ability to pay. Refusing to build expensive new homes in your neighborhood does not make the rich people disappear or move elsewhere, it just ensures that they’ll outbid current residents for existing homes and renovate them into luxury housing.

"The idea that housing could 'filter' upmarket due to shortages or downmarket due to abundance is trickle-down economics and absurd pro-developer propaganda," I type from my $4000/mo Lower East Side apartment built 120 years ago as a tenement for penniless

some things about becoming a parent are radicalizing in ways I expected - e.g being reminded viscerally how screwed we'd all be if childcare and other care work disappeared. but other things are radicalizing in ways I didn't - like experiencing constant spontaneous solidarity in ways big and small
