If we raised the property tax bill on the blue lot to match the others on a $/SF basis, the overall tax bill for the houses/businesses would go down.

People who want to see lower property taxes should be all over this!

Brussels has long had a reputation as one of Europe’s most congested cities: one of traffic jams, polluted air, and streets dominated by cars. Yet in recent years, the capital has become an unlikely case study in how bold political leadership can reclaim urban space for people.🧵

+/- rules, regs, incentives

[Austin Tunnell @AustinTunnell]

I always come back to Steve Job’s on design philosophy: start with the human experience—in the built environment “how we want to live”—and then back into the hardware (and the rules, regs and incentives).

“The neighborhood is the amenity” is exactly the kind of neighborhood I want to see built in the world.

A bunch of independent complexes with their own private gyms, pools, etc seems…boring and sad honestly.

@Boenau @FastCompany “Good intentions paired with bad incentives produce waiting lists, not homes.” - brilliant & simple

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

So many thoughts about this post
#1 too many of you want to have it figured out, last night at the @vaynerx holiday party I had a young man who worked at the venue come talk to me, he had “it” but he was 22 and said he didn’t know where to go with his life and career but he knew he could do “things” my friends, you don’t need to have it figured out but you had to act .. you have to be in motion, you had to execute .. what does that look like ?
A) meet new people, say hello to people in the real world, DM people and ask for 5 Minutes if their time, 99% will not respond, you’re working for the 1%

B) just do the thing … post, launch the website, the substack, the podcast, the t shirt, the song ect .. jump on the pool 🏊

C) you’re allowed to change your mind.. why is this important? Because when you realize you can pivot, adjust, react to whatever is happening it makes the going for it less daunting ..

2026 is here .. do you really want to keep debating ??? Or do you want to finally “taste” what living feels like ?

@mattbaran Excellent reason to love the law! (or hate it when it drives ugly & disconnection)

If you block It will get
housing here built here

@BMWUSA 2+ years still persistent unresolved problems with Plug&Charge in #iX - @ElectrifyAm very disappointing. @BMW fix this at leadership level. #ev #ElectricVehicles

[Magatte Wade @magattew]

This woman just proved something INCREDIBLE about African creativity 🤯🔥

Phumla saw families in South Africa that don't have access to safe housing and said "I'll fix this myself"

This is exactly what happens when Africans stop waiting and start building!!!

@johnrobb @jgarzik Is it too late? Yes US is withdrawing its security umbrella & defense of maritime shipping @jgarzik. But Russia’s costly war-weakeness means it’s ripe for China to take water & land held by prior dynasties.

[Landon Synnestvedt @LandonSyn]

@ElectrifyAm more charging errors. Very frustrating. Not resolved in 2 days.

Incentives & win-win

Interesting post from a lawyer at a large U.S. firm on how AI has impacted his work.

“The resistance to AI in legal practice isn’t just stubborn - it’s holding us back from being better lawyers and having better lives.”

I expect this is coming to many fields…

“getting sh*t done” streamlining gov services. Not perfect but moving in a useful direction (@Commish_Schmidt)

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

When I came into office, it took too long to get an occupational license in so many different fields.

So we got to work slashing wait times and speeding up government – and last month, I stopped by @PhillyCuts to talk to Darryl, Ann, and Zina about our progress and what more we can do to support small businesses:

This is why housing is so expensive. Not Blackrock, landlord greed, or avocado toast...just your neighbors & parents who bought a house, then used local government regulations to make it impossible to build more

The result: Their housing prices go up. Young people locked out

Did you know PA waives the fee for veterans and reservists starting a small business in the Commonwealth?

Reminder: The automatic recount of the 2024 US Senate race in Pennsylvania (that begins tomorrow) is *mandated* by PA law because the candidates are separated by less than .5%. Yesterday’s PA Supreme Court decision did not impact that recount threshold.
