YC new request for startups: Bay Area real estate development

[Garry's List @garryslist]

A software engineer making $185K can't even afford to rent a one-bedroom in San Francisco.

A good salary used to buy you a home. Now it barely covers rent. For decades, we've made it nearly impossible to build, so even top earners are priced out.

The new fault line in American politics isn't rich vs. poor. It's people who own, and people who earn.

new workflow unlocked: texting devin from imessage!

[Cognition @cognition]

Cognition is acquiring @Interaction, the makers of Poke.

If you've ever used Poke, you know why we're so excited.
