Georgism moment

My favorite finance experts are the ones that tell you to make more money. Honestly it’s good advice but just funny.

This reads like a parody, but nope it's a real LinkedIn post

My nutso conspiracy is that lawyers have a stranglehold on policy creation on the United States even in areas where they are vastly below median contributors, and this is responsible for like 95% of USA policy underperformance.

Sacramento’s most legendary parking enforcement officer gave out 22,000 tickets last year 2025 marked another outstanding year for Parking Enforcement Officer Grant Nakamura, the hardest-working man in Sacramento.

“No infraction seems to escape him. Nakamura can hear a meter expire in the night the way an owl hears a mouse across a snowy clearing in the woods…”

The entire region needs governance reform tbh. The state needs to unify the 90+ cities and fiefdoms

If NYPD can’t handle not being blatantly corrupt when enforcing basic traffic laws, imagine what they’re like with the more serious stuff. Too bad we don’t have civilian control over them

This is a rare point of commonality between the president and Senator Warren. On CNBC, Ms. Warren said that investors could build "as many apartment houses, as many condo complexes, as many triplexes as they want" but that "homes should be for families, not giant corporations."

Fuck Elizabeth Warren. My condo is a home. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/b...

Los Angeles’ housing crisis is self-inflicted. 

For decades, city leaders have taken deliberate actions to limit new housing.

Today, we announced our plan to fix this and triple housing production.

What’s preventing it? That theres a ground lease?

So crazy to see real competence in the race. Bass vs Caruso was so dispiriting.

Idg why they don’t just do land reclamation with trash anymore. We should be filling in the east river

Genuinely why are they like this? Is the MTA just staffed by suburban republicans who dislike the city? Bcs that’s what it feels like

Omg are you going to have a tort reform arc

15mph for bikes is way too low. Bikes are quite light/smsll and not dangerous at higher speeds.

Sorry, Patriots fans: the permits have spoken.

Rising Progressive Star Shakes Up Race for Los Angeles Mayor

"Nithya Raman, who has been compared to Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York, presents a significant challenge to the incumbent, Mayor Karen Bass." NYT gets the scoop

Gotta cut down some trees to protect trees!

Just one more subsidy bro. Just one more. Hasn’t worked for centuries but it’ll work this time. I can just feel it. At what point do you start to actually help your voters instead of rural whites.

I just don’t think we need to spend political capital on subsidizing the people who want to execute us. But that’s another way to put it sure.

Great for them! But rural areas are already massively subsidized here in the US and vote for the worst people I know, so not sure why I need to keep paying taxes to ensure they get 1 train a week to call there.

Megabus folding is fine with me. I can still buy extremely cheap intercity bus tickets bcs of all the competition. It’s just part of the game

Long distance routes as political patronage hasn’t worked for decades, why would it start working now? We’re BARELY managing to get gateway over the line after how many decades? I’m going to die before we see CT rail straightened.
