Chimney Rock, North Carolina

A glimpse into the forever altered landscape in western NC. The more I look at this, the harder it is to believe.

The economic and human toll #Helene has caused is high, and we still have yet to realize it in full..

@EricHastie What room is this?

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

It is hard to describe how much you learn by actually doing — by carefully considering all factors, making a decision, and then taking responsibility for the outcome. Unlocks wisdom that cannot be arrived at any other way.

Come join us at UNC-CS. Such a fun and supportive department to be in as junior faculty! :)

"A real leader knows there are lots of ways to solve any problem and just as many ways to make them worse. The right thing to do almost always is to open the possibilities, find a wider array of choices." Hear! Hear! Thanks for elevating the discourse

@housingMark @LOLCHAPELHILL2 @triblogblog I appreciate the terminology and knowledge sharing here, it feels like a big win to have learned a formalized concept over Twitter.

The growth dynamics are quite different, which is what I am having a hard time reconciling; university pay is not growing like SF salaries have.

[Kris Jordan @KrisJordan]

@LOLCHAPELHILL2 @housingMark @triblogblog Strong agreement her 🤝

[Kris Jordan @KrisJordan]

@housingMark @LOLCHAPELHILL2 @triblogblog We certainly need more affordable housing. We need solutions that add affordable units at a faster rate than luxury units. Not settling on the inverse.

[Kris Jordan @KrisJordan]

@housingMark @LOLCHAPELHILL2 @triblogblog Trickle-down Reagonomics didn't work for wealth and it isn't going to work for housing when there is significant potential for population growth. These lux condos will attract new, rich whites, not lure existing rich, white Chapel Hillians out of their single-family homes.

[Kris Jordan @KrisJordan]

@LOLCHAPELHILL2 @housingMark @triblogblog Lmao anonymous cowardly trolling is the level of discourse I've come to expect in CH housing discussion, but I can't miss the opportunity to have you to scroll to the top of this thread for the irony 🤡 lols.

@triblogblogblogblog tweet is about their discomfort with change in CH

[Kris Jordan @KrisJordan]

@LOLCHAPELHILL2 @triblogblog Please educate me on how building more $480,000 condos with 572sq ft of living space is doing anything for students. These aren't even the more luxurious new ones you're clamoring to have buit...

@triblogblog The 2nd order effect of 3x more high-end condo units going in than affordable units, and high-earning wet lab industrialization taking over mom and pops restaurants, and unmanaged city-like density, is students/staff/faculty will be priced out of Franklin St restaurants and bars.

[Kris Jordan @KrisJordan]

@triblogblog The folks moving to these high rise $1.6m/unit condos you all are so excited to see add density to downtown Chapel Hill need somewhere walkable to eat that isn't overrun by students & low/middle class.

Build luxury city condos, get luxury city dining.

UNC student Nassibah Bedreddine offers a better, more mature, balanced, and actually nuanced take on housing in one opinion piece than the juvenile NIMBY vs. YIMBY clickbait in circulation over the past year in CH.

[The Daily Tar Heel @dailytarheel]

COLUMN: "By working toward solidarity among tenants of all stripes, Americans can take a step toward not just affordable housing, but the establishment of housing as a human right," Nassibah Bedreddine writes.

@wanyiChen0210 I've found it valuable in the instances I've tried. It's decent at code review, too, though I've not used it as much for that and there was noise in my attempts.

Yes, it's important tool for students to learn to wield, slightly worried about overreliance, but we'll see.
