i’m convinced car dependency and suburban sprawl promoting anti-social attitudes like “being in a public place with strangers is scary and bad” majorly contributes to why so many people are extremely regressive, tribalist, and paranoid these days
@FarewellMusk@kimlipgrabsback if no republican is on the governors race far fewer republicans turn out for the general (imagine if trump wasn’t on the top of the ticket what happens down ballot)
Apartments are legal on just 12% of US residential land, versus 95% for single-family homes.
Even cities that welcome housing see that collapse at the city limits; Charlotte allows multifamily on 84% of its land, but just 7% across its suburbs.
a standing ovation for daraxonrasib at asco. over 40k oncologists, entrepreneurs, investors, and patient advocates together celebrating revmed's breakthru in the fight against pancreatic cancer. u never forget these moments. it's what innovation is all about.
@PhilSustainable why? Lvt still encourages development on non market rate land and creates more virtuous cycles relative to the counterfactual won’t it?
New York State just authorized a land value tax that could generate billions of dollars for new transit.
For the @NiskanenCenter, @aarmlovi and I wrote about how the renewal of § 119-r in the FY27 budget could unlock a virtuous cycle of infrastructure delivery in NYC.
we cannot look at housing or transportation in a vacuum. connecting them creates a flywheel effect where land value funds transit expansion
this was common sense a century ago, as subway lines were built in tandem with brand new neighborhoods. glad to see we’re bringing it back
Chicago DSA just updated their platform, and there is lots to love about it!
Mamdanism making its way over to the second city 👏

The LVT was originally authorized under Cuomo, but it's never been used. Very few people wrote about it before @aarmlovi's article for @VitalCityNYC, with one exception:
Then-Assemblymember @ZohranKMamdani praised value capture and § 119-r in an interview with @jacobin in 2022.
@WallyPaulnuts69@moky_dokie@IncelFactory I didn’t ask moky for evidence on anything? I said that a claim he made was misleading and it’s pretty crucial in the melee community that we distinguish volunteer efforts from corporate ones imo
I have noticed some people talking about the selection process for ssbmrank ballots and I figured it would be good to write a short thread on how to get a ballot / our process for giving them to people.
we filmed this ad for full bloom 4 or 5 (scraped because of bad audio), the premise was that smash summit showed us invitationals are awesome, so we were gonna host the biggest invitational of all time, and the invitees were revealed by me reading a list of every single attendee
@peteyburn yeah and honestly, there might be a way where SSBMRank might not include someone like Cody off of two events but maybe Lucky Rank does
and i think it's cool that both have their own set goals and can deal with these types of things differently!
