@ReidChalker the overwhelming economic evidence shows us that building housing, including market rate housing, reduces rents---if you oppose building new housing you are hurting tenants. period. full stop.
arguing otherwise is the equivalent of climate denial at this point
Texas currently has 28.5 billion dollars in its 'rainy day fund.' AISD has a budget shortfall of 185 million dollars, and they're currently cutting every cost they can, selling all their building, laying off hundreds of staff.
This is disgusting and egregious @GregAbbott_TX
Plans released for a $16 billion mile-long ship capable of carrying 80,000 people.
The 'Freedom Ship' would be home to about 50,000 people, with space for 10,000 tourists and 20,000 crew members.
"The Freedom Ship is envisioned as a permanently mobile city at sea designed for long-term residence rather than short-term travel," the company says.
The ship would be about 8 times the size of the current largest ship in the world, the Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas.
The plans include a 15,000-seat stadium, schools, colleges, shops, clubs, a water park, a music hall, museums, parks, and more.
The ship, which would run on nuclear, would be too large to dock and would remain in international waters.
Freedom Cruise International says it would go around the world every two to three years.
Insane.

@UrbanCourtyard Americans choose not to live like this. They don’t want to. And until we solve the issue of urban criminal hellscape America it isn’t happening. Whole reason the burbs and freeway exist. Mixed income and school choice would be tough hurdles in particular for families.
I mostly engage in the housing supply discourse on this website, but this is another one of those issues that once you see you can't unsee.
Get in with Antitrust reform.
Nationally we need robust Antitrust reform, (see @superwuster, @linamkhan, Sanjukta Paul) but in the meantime, architects need to follow Australia's model and organize for a Parker v. Brown state by state carve out for small firms.
The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.
Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...
