A candidate for alderman asked me to provide them with background reading on housing, and it turned into quite a list! I enjoyed putting it together, so I thought I'd also share it here. I've organized into three categories: describing the problem, describing solutions, and partnership solutions 🧵

Incredible that both Chicago and San Francisco turned down offers from Lucas to build these incredible monuments (“for free” “as a gift”) in their cities if they only would have given him a few dozen acres of prime public real estate for it

Michael Tracey published what he said was the ID of the "Jane Doe" in the Cornell case. Then he took it down, claiming he just wanted to make a point and didn't want to see harm to the person he named. What he hasn't admitted is that he mistook info on a sketchy site for official NY court records.

An archived copy of Michael Tracey's original Substack post includes a screenshot from "eCourt Records" and the commentary: "It's [name redacted]. Don't blame me -- the New York Court System just posted it. Seemingly inadvertently. Oh well."

Screenshot of Michael Tracey's post on Substack titled "Note on Jane Doe." It reads: "After identifying Jane Doe earlier tonight, I have now removed the information I published. Why? Because the principle has been served: to underscore that permanently anonymizing litigants who make sensational, spectacular, reputation-destroying claims about others — so long as they can self-declare some form of victimization — cannot be countenanced.

It’s destructive, and an egregious abuse of the legal system by huckster plaintiff’s lawyers. This practice has to end. Lawyers who seek to monetize this sleazy tactic should have to think A LOT HARDER about the claims they’re willing to throw out into the public domain, using impressionable clients who may not even know what they’re getting themselves into.

So why have I now removed her information?

Because I don’t believe she’s the main “villain” here. I primarily blame the bottom-feeding, media-manipulating, sleazebag lawyers who’ve made a whole cash-grab industry out of this racket.

Thomas Giuffra in particular has a lot to answer for. He’s the central reason for the current debacle.

Given the intense nationwide and global interest in this case, I don’t want to bring any further negative attention to this woman. I don’t believe she ought to be punished or subjected to any retribution or humiliation. I believe a RATIONAL solution is necessary here. Not more character assassination — of her, the seven young men, or anyone else. Truly, that is my genuine view."

Even dogs get victim blamed when drivers kill them. This is absolute ghoul behavior.

A Facebook post about a driver in Auburn hitting and killing a dog

Was the dog on a leash. Why was the dog in the road?

I am sorry that this happened. Just a question, was the walker wearing reflective clothing with a flash light while they were walking on the road with the dogs. If they are wearing all black, they are not going to be spotted. But on the flip side, if the driver felt or heard a noise they should have stopped

Was the walker wearing high vis or the usual black, navy blue, or dark Grey?

Did the driver swerve to hit the dog or was it dog not under the owners control? If the dog wasn’t on a leash, then we know who was at fault . As far as I’m aware, Massachusetts has a leash law, and that goes for even walking your dogs in the woods.

The White House Press Corps should've walked out as soon as the Trump regime banned the Associated Press for calling the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of Mexico." That was Feb 15, 2025. The first month of Trump Term II. Not surprising that abandoning principles for weak acquiescence led to more abuse.
