"Even at their best, those debates are split into binaries that are inadequate for the task."
@themhartman goes long on housing in the third story in a four-part series covering Durham’s upcoming municipal election.

@jasoncoxnc @bullcitynerd @wltregay@durhamhabitat Furthermore habitat is saying signing on as a SCAD co-applicant would have jeopardized its nonprofit status. Yes, habitat reps could speak on the 4 provisions they supported, and they did, but that’s different from supporting the proposal as a whole by signing on As coapplicant
@jasoncoxnc @bullcitynerd @wltregay@durhamhabitat Yeah I don’t know why the city would label him an applicant representative when there is no record of anyone from habitat signing onto the SCAD application. He (Jim Belanger, interim ceo at the time of that meeting) was speaking in favor of the 4 provisions habitat acknowledged
The closure makes for an abrupt goodbye: On July 31, less than 24 hours before "closed" flyers appeared on its doors, the Facebook page of Stadium 10 was inviting followers to buy Barbie tickets. https://t.co/Jwx6V07vnp

It's been a brutal week/decade for journalism, including for the paper I've spent 4 years at. But I really, really believe that the @indyweek's new partnership with @TheAssemblyNC is a strong path forward for local news & for the Triangle. https://t.co/mPgtPN9X16
@matt_lardie @hamentaschennow@ChrisUnits@indyweek@durhamhabitat@HabitatDurham I don’t really agree that it does that. It’s all there in the letter. I don’t think we say it subverts habitat’s will, but habitat is pretty plainly claiming something happened here that’s not on the level
@ChrisUnits @bulletfedora @danbock10 @MayorEONeal We, Lena and myself and the paper, have no stakes in this other than wanting to have the fullest picture possible. We didn’t get that so did the best job possible with the information available
@ChrisUnits @bulletfedora @danbock10 @MayorEONeal No. Other supporters’ opinions are quoted in the story and we asked them questions and they answered. But we do have some expectation that the person spearheading the proposal would want to go on record with the media.
