@MichaelMcGough3 @mattyglesias I think most high IQ kids figure out reading regardless of the method. I know many who taught themselves how to read.

@realEstateTrent Recently spent a week in Mill Valley. It's nice but the restaurant scene is terrible unless you go into SF.

The aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death makes it clear: we can fight harder and slide toward war or seek understanding and reconcile. Both sides chase political wins, but what’s the point if we remain a nation defined by rage, mistrust, and hostility? Nobody wins.

@houmanhemmati @emissionite Speak for yourself. I live in a single family home and my SFH neighbors and I are thrilled about SB 79 bringing change to our neighborhood. If we wanted to live in a quiet suburb we would have bought there.

@GDCAndrew Can you please feed one into Google NotebookLM and post the AI podcast? 🙃

@garrytan Just run for governor and veto silly bills please 😊

@SonnyP @mattyglesias @ezraklein @DKThomp My theory is that they hit middle adulthood and realized that they couldn't afford to buy a home. This is my theory for most of the YIMBY movement.

@mattyglesias @ezraklein @DKThomp Why do they focus so much on the supply side of CA housing, yet they sidestep the demand side, especially immigration, which feels disingenuous when the goal is to address CA housing prices honestly. Need to discuss both together.

@ArmandDoma CA lawmakers like Darrell Steinberg and Susan Eggman have been trying move towards this compassionately (conservatorship laws, Prop 1), but groups like ACLU and abolitionists shut it down. Local law enforcement can easily tell you which MI are at highest risk

Neoliberal, left-coded, housing abundance—these are terms I’ve never heard come up in actual development conversations. Developers, builders, GCs, and land-use specialists don’t spend time debating ideological frameworks; we focus on the practicalities of building housing. It’s crazy how often policymakers seem completely out of touch with the realities of getting projects approved and built.

@garrytan Parenting as a former child of immigrant Asian parents is a trip. The competing impulses we have to constantly negotiate:

@garrytan Everything, ultimately, boils down to community and loving your neighbor.

@ezraklein I would never vote for Trump but I very reluctantly voted for wacko Trump-supporting Republican state reps. Count me as one of the enraged. I’m so frustrated with CA politics that I’m ready to tear the whole system down because incremental change is not going to happen.

@JMGregorchuk What group is this? These groups need to be named. Maybe their public comments should be made into short video clips to be shared.

[marvista @marvista]

@minilek Thanks for sharing. Have you heard about the Math Academy program? Curious to know your thoughts. https://t.co/L5A3GdXOBv

@AnnieLowrey Maybe local and state politics is different. I quit my CA job but I couldn’t handle the bureaucratic bloat and pervasive checked-out culture. Too bad because I loved that job and the potential for meaningful change.

[marvista @marvista]

@AnnieLowrey Sigh. Dems are good at diagnosing social problems but bad at solving them. We should be talking more about the governing failures in our major cities and blue states. Over 80% of Americans live in major metropolitan cities and the poverty in these cities is just inescapable.

@ezraklein I need this for myself. I don’t know where I belong in the Democratic Party.
