The current 12-game Jeopardy champion works at an affordable housing finance agency in NJ, and shamed New York for not building more housing:
"NJ's doing really well, we're ahead of NY, CT, PA. If you're from one of those states, shame on you, build more housing."
Just in:
The order briefly stops the government from labeling tech company Anthropic a "supply chain risk," calling that "classic First Amendment retaliation."
right?!? what do you mean “apparent outcome?!?“ if all the votes have not been counted, there hasn’t been an outcome! the implication of alito’s comment is that it undermines voter confidence when, like, urban precincts report later in the night. those votes change “the apparent outcome”
President Trump wants to ban big investors from buying more houses. Some local governments are already on the case – and Atlanta is ground zero.
Important: At my direction, @nashville.gov has allocated $750,000—and the Titans have contributed $250,000

Emily Siner came to me a year ago with this idea: What if we take an in depth look at the Geier v. Tennessee case over TSU funding? A great idea, since the Tennessee legislature continues its involvement in the only public HBCU in the state. This is part one of four.
Good read. A lot of the LIHTC PILOTs coming through MDHA recently have been heavy on 3+BR units. Something worth watching.

As Metro attempts to address local housing needs through zoning policy, a new partnership is channeling its focus on preventing the displacement of longtime Nashvillians.

if you're gonna pass a law enabling ADUs (which you should), package it with plan books and forgivable loans in exchange for affordable rents. I regret to inform Nashville that Charlotte appears to be doing something "very cool"

I cannot agree with @rollinhorton.bsky.social more. Housing preservation is just as vital as new development, particularly for those most vulnerable to displacement.
The housing crisis is requiring creative scrambling and new partnerships from health care organizations to keep older patients out of expensive nursing homes as homelessness grows.
