In California, if a city isn't meeting its obligations under a state housing law, builders can build projects without needing to conform to the city's zoning. We sat down with @CSElmendorf to talk about his viral 2019 "builder's remedy" thread that sparked a building revolution.

Drug prices are a hot topic, but they're 14% of health care expenditures and pay for themselves. What else can we do to reduce the price of healthcare? @RuxandraTeslo suggests targeting other, hidden costs, like hospital or procedure costs, that don't sustain the cost of innovation.
In health care reform, one big topic is streamlining drug approvals after they're already developed.
