"Dem governed places are nicer, wealthier and safer than Republican governed places" is a layup Dems are weirdly average to taking.

I can smell this picture

there is no rioting. nobody is looting. Nobody is burning random stuff down. This is just americans rising up to protect their neighbors from the ICE brownshirts.

Happening right in front of us. .Could not be more obvious

I was calling my legislators from the campus coffeehouse back in 2018 in support of an ancient version of this bill, truly absurd it’s taken this long

You’d think a decade+ of being the poster child for the failures of liberal governance would make every democratic senator in California an easy yes on “you should be allowed to build apartments next to transit” but apparently not…glad to see this move forward anyway!!

Join us 6/23 to celebrate the end of the legislative session and raise a glass of Colorado whiskey to all your hard work getting pro-housing bills across the line!We’ll also chat with elected officials and fellow advocates about what’s next for housing in Colorado. www.eventbrite.com/e/yimby-legi...

at this point I am tapping the "absolutely none of this has ever been about protecting American Jews" sign roughly five times a day

Eamonn T. Dundon @etdundon Follow back •@CityPortland's 2024 Housing Report confirms what many feared: raising IZ from 10% to 25% in 2021 didn't spark affordability — it torched production. From 900+ units in 2021 to barely a trickle since. Inclusionary zoning with exclusionary results.

“Inclusionary zoning” is one of those policies that sounds great at first but then when you look at the actual impact it ends up just being a massive tax on new apartments that exempts single family homes, accomplishing the exact opposite of the intended effect

We did a poll! Turns out Denverites want dense housing 😱 check out the full results and press release at

Scott Wiener had to roll two committee chairs to advance SB 79, the most basic common sense reform that should've passed decades ago. Each objected with the same brain dead garbage that has zero empirical grounding and no support among serious academics who study housing. We must demand better.

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

why are there so many supercommuters gavin. Let’s ask your favorite policy analyst!

People love to denigrate modern fare gates like this as “hostile architecture” but I think that this design-based solution that prevents crime from happening in the first place is vastly preferable to having cops bust people for turnstile jumping.

Here are the 15 fastest growing metro areas over 500k from 2020 to 2024.

2030 census is going to be a mess for the electoral college and Democrats:

love this for us

this is truly now a Bay Area tradition, I was part of this one in 2017 and if I remember correctly, the first one was IMPEACH during the Bush administration, maybe 2006 or 7? the organizer (same guy still doing it now) was a parent at my elementary school

passed by a car dealership with a big BEAT THE TARIFFS SALE advertisement. Are we winning yet?

Sprawl “solves” the housing crisis by turning it into a transportation crisis.

Where is America’s drug supply made? There’s usually no single country where a drug is manufactured. Plants in different parts of the world handle different parts of the process. Factories make chemicals and other raw materials. Drug companies buy those materials and use them to make the active ingredient of a medication. Then the active ingredient needs to be formulated into a pill or a liquid. In the final stage, the drug is packaged into boxes, vials or pens.

Definitely a "everything is chemicals" moment here

every single voter was faced with a basic intelligence test and unfortunately 49.9% of them failed it
