Old heads will recall that this is the first upzoning that NYC’s YIMBY movement ever advocated for. They finally figured out a design that allows for development w/out having to vacate rent stabilized tenants. Shouts to @CarlinaRivera for going out on what was then a lonely limb!
American cities are just so destitute and empty. How is Rochester, NY, a city with around 700k in its urban area, not have a single public World Cup watch party for the game tomorrow? Can the city just throw a fucking screen up? PLEASE? @CityRochesterNY
I’m not a fan of rent control or Mamdani’s rent freeze, but you guys really need to stop calling landlords “housing providers.” It’s kind of sad and pathetic

Toronto’s largest park in a generation is getting even bigger—adding 10 new acres of waterfront parkland on Ookwemin Minising. From Canoe Cove and the expanded Water’s Edge Promenade to new public art and gathering spaces, this is a major milestone in reconnecting the city to its waterfront.
More to explore, more to come, opening July 25th, 2026.
🚨Jersey City’s skyline now legitimately rivals most American downtowns🌆
And it’s not slowing down.

@AlDefinitely I hope she gets a primary in the future, but I don't think it will be soon. Now that Mamdani has tied his name to her, unless she really beclowns herself in office, I'm not sure any other primary challenger can overcome Mamdani's weight anymore.
ben & jerry (ben cohen & jerry greenfield) tried to boycott their ice cream from being sold in israel, so unilever went behind their back and sold a portion of the company to an israeli licensee against their wishes. israel is selling ben & jerry's through corporate domination
