[Nicholas Weller @nich_w]

AZ politics people: Anyone know of leg about or politicians interested in growing corporate ownership of housing in the state?

Also, that thrift store is in a 5-story apartment and the neighborhood wasn't exactly stoked when the building was proposed (predates me living here, so I'm not clear on the details).

@NolanWilliamsAZ The two at our place (Biff and Mob Boss) are a little rough around the edges. Just warming up to us a year after we moved in.

Arizona should do the right thing and give their spot in the Pac-12 to UTEP.
