Empty ya pockets, son, they got you thinking that
What ya need is what they selling
Make you think that buying is rebelling

An entity like @GreatSchools peddling school rankings to sell to @zillow to jack up FOMO and prices in housing submarkets that won't share data with researchers or parents is as reputable as...fuck all. Never trust data and rankings that can't be researched by third parties.

@smartcitiesdive @HUDgov Yippee...let's use a short-term pricing problem into justification to continue to be the only country in the planet to willingly, and stupidly, continue to destroy the planet.

@davidjmadden But David, the free market will always repair its own failures.

P.S. Another semester teaching a housing course where students were assigned, and loved, In Defense of Housing.

@shilensays More bad owners, more failure to come. Can't swap out parts with the same business model. At some point, the model is the problem, not players and coaches.

@JasonBassler1 Can we make a bet, I mean prediction, on Kalshi?

end times

@SecretaryTurner @HousingWire Like increasing the cost of fuel tat drives every single component of home construction? You can repeat the lie enough to try to make it fact, but eventually, like Goebbels, the lies catch up to you.

OK, had a moment there doomscrolling and doom responding. Time to check out for another however long it's been.

@JDale_Shoemaker And you're doing it! Thank you.

Here is 2 minutes of Donald Trump on the 2024 campaign trail pledging to lower your energy and electric bills by 50% within 12 months of taking office.

Can we get an update on this from MAGA?

@PolicyEngineer One man trucks. End of story. Deploy the other two on the million other things that need fixing in our cities.

[jason knight @JasonKnightPhD]

@Bobby4Brooklyn So not inn addition to the endless gazillions we spend on law enforcement, we need more surveillance? No thanks. Maybe have cops do their jobs better and let us get some ROI on that investment? What company that sells these devices is funding you?

[jason knight @JasonKnightPhD]

@ChrisMurphyCT Then fucking do something about it. How about that? So sick of electeds admiring the problem on social media, pretending they have no agency, just so they have campaign fodder for the next election cycle.

Fix the fucking system or get out of the way and let someone else try

[jason knight @JasonKnightPhD]

@jacobin Citizens United against the citizens. Our country is a kleptocracy where the unelecteds in black robes grant electeds the one thing they wanted most: freedom to call bribes campaign contributions.

[jason knight @JasonKnightPhD]

@hernandezforny Tells us about our federal tax waste on waging war. I'll hang up and listen.

[jason knight @JasonKnightPhD]

@ByGerrySullivan Cuz we don't have unlicensed ATVs and dirt bikes ripping down them?

The mic cut out during O Canada at the Sabres game.
Buffalo filled every single second of silence.

Sang it word for word.

This is how you tell your neighbors you see them.
We love Canada. Don’t listen to the noise.

@LindsayLorigo @markpoloncarz Imagine if you had any policy skills and experience instead of just being a puppet nepo-pol? Cap the gas tax, that's the best earth-shattering affordability idea you got? While then saying we need more investment in infrastructure. Typical unserious dissonant propaganda.

[jason knight @JasonKnightPhD]

@RobCGalbraith Can't wait to vote for a GOP governor for the first time. Why continue to vote for a DINO when I can just vote for the real deal. They both suck but she's literally the worst governor in my lifetime and can barely pretend to be a Dem.

[jason knight @JasonKnightPhD]

@TheBuffaloNews Good.
