100,000 Homes: Housing the homeless saves money? Giving apartments to the chronically homeless can save taxpayer dollars, advocates say

Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”

Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth

This is why Philly is not an obvious candidate for full-cordon cong. pricing, as the region's existing job sprawl landscape could see induced reverse commuting instead. Instead, radial highway tolling on 76 and 95 gets the benefit of revenue source while moderating highway as opposed to local VMT

I don’t understand. Funding is sparse and we have to be smart about resources.

Hard agree. I'm increasingly just zero sympathy for the cowardly chauvinists who can't handle places where lots of different people get along together.

A bunch of people gathered around a table prepping seeds

A bunch of people gathered around a table prepping seeds

45 people out to the native plant prep party tonight and packaged a collective 3400 packets of native seeds and folded 200 zines. Absolutely killer work by this crew.

It’s not about being Black or at least not entirely. Many people have trouble admitting other people are right because they are insecure.

But remember it’s more important to win than who gets credit… although this is not always fair … but it is leadership.

Inclusionary zoning* is a tax on new housing that worsens the housing shortage and drives up housing prices. It’s bad policy and we should stop doing it.

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted.
Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

The top-10 carmakers by market cap make up 75% of global passenger car sales.

Tesla makes up less than 2%.

The Tesla bubble will be widely documented in history books.

I have a Garmin Swim 2 which is discontinued but I love it and it charges in a hour even after three years. You could get one of the similar ones. They have a lifetime guarantee.

The housing crisis is pushing Gen Z into crypto and economic nihilism Locked out of home ownership, young adults are turning to risky financial behaviour

Housing policy rules everything: "reduced work effort, increased leisure spending and investment in risky financial assets (including crypto) are all disproportionately common among young adults who face little to no realistic prospect of being able to afford a house." www.ft.com/content/c17a...

SEPTA's 260 transit cops catch a total of ~24 fare evaders and ~6.5 smokers a day. They call this "enforcement" 🙃

If SEPTA riders want to fight antisocial behavior, the first step is demanding transparency on what the hell SEPTA's 260 police actually *do* all day.

China expands Argentina soybean buying to 20 cargoes, traders say Chinese importers kept up a hectic pace of Argentine soybean purchases after the South American supplier's move to abolish export taxes temporarily made its prices competitive, traders said on Wednesday.

So just to be clear: The US is propping up Argentina’s economy, and now Argentina can eliminate its export taxes, so it can sell tons of soybeans to China, so China isn’t forced to buy soybeans from the US, so the US can pay subsidies to keep our farmers solvent.
