Why doesn't education equate to power, you ask? Because American education is accommodationist. It trains people to maintain the existing power structure, and that system accrues power to the billionaire class.

Right now, a landlord can raise the rent by 100%, even more, and force a small business out overnight.

It’s time to pass the Small Business Rent Stabilization Act to stop pillars of our communities from getting priced out.

This is what cabbies used to sound like. Now it's what cyclists say on social media while dodging obstacles in the bike lane.

I miss the affordable, edgy NYC of the '70s. Gentrification was no improvement. We lost our soul.

Bullshit map. They've been hitting Israel repeatedly, but the map shows Israel out of range.

Housing for all. Not just the highest bidder.
Floridians are being priced out of the towns they grew up in. Corporate landlords are buying up
neighborhoods. Insurance is crushing homeowners.

Abe Fortas was forced to resign under a cloud, for reasons that would seem quaint and picky today.

I don't think Trump is looking for someone with a ton of worldly wisdom, or legal acumen. Certainly not someone with any ethics or integrity. It is a government of "yes" men and "yes" women.

If you want to avoid situations where cars and trucks block bike lanes, don't build bike lines on commercial corridors. Instead, build bike lanes on quiet residential streets and limit traffic on those streets to residents and, during pre-set hours, deliveries.

the universal democratic response to laws is "it won't pass today, so we should just give up"

I didn't say I was giving a definition. I said that affordability is a concept that is rooted in common sense. It has to do with what people can afford to pay. Not construction standards.

Why do yimby arguments always insist on the utter defiance of common sense? If existing rents are stabilized at, for example, $1,500 or less for a one-bedroom apartment, and a developer wants to charge two or three times that in the same neighborhood, that's luxury housing, in context.

Nobody is blocking housing, you ideologue. But there are plenty of places where there are serious homeless problems caused by escalating rents, and those rents come from demand by rich people to displace poor people, in places where the poor are not protected..

Why do I need to?

The Impact of Luxury Housing on Neighborhood Housing Prices in Taipei City This study investigated whether a decision to construct luxury housing can help increase neighborhood housing prices. The difference-in-difference method was used in the analysis. Housing transaction ...

Right. Not credible. Absent robust rent controls, the construction of luxury housing causes massive displacement. Homelessness, housing inflation, the destruction of families and neighborhoods is what you are advocating for: archive.aessweb.com/index.php/50...

We are stuck working with tools fashioned by corporate lawyers in corporate litigation. It's been that way since the 14th Amendment was ratified.

Or what I'd been doing when I get back upstairs.

One question I get asked a lot is why I still focus so much on pro bono and sliding scale eviction defense - it's always half my practice - when there's so much else going on.

Here's the answer.

Donald Trump, before he was anything else, was a slumlord.

Here in NYC, every landlord is a mini Trump. The open defiance of the rule of law, the obvious fraud, the treatment of every interaction as an opportunity for intimidation: Trump learned those things in a community of likeminded assholes.

You are the ideal person to review it, though. How much would you need to raise in a GoFundMe for that to happen?

Is Fulton County opposing the warrant in any way? They could move to quash, no?

yes, housing tenure. And job tenure too.

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.

JACK SMITH: “I have seen how the rule of law can erode. My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it.”

A bouquet? Fragrant!
