We need a YIMBY movement in:
CA
OR
WA
CO
IL
NY
NJ
MA
RI
CT

Like it's an imperative.

Tillamook Row in Portland, OR fits 16 homes with shared lawns and gardens onto a single 32,000 sf lot.

In much of Greater Boston, half of communities require 40,000 sf or more just for one single-family home on 50%+ of their land. Only 4% of MA land allows 4 units+ 'by right.'

@RockChartrand Not even close, Robert Kennedy.

@jbarro Look, many of us would like *more* legal immigration but the GOP has proven itself to never allow for that. So if you can't get them legally...

@daveweigel Ironically, Dr. Oz had the best chance in 2022 although he'd be cosplaying as a conservative Muslim. I'm pretty sure he's as liberal as it gets on social issues.

@asadowaisi @narendramodi The tradition of Mir Sadiqs and Mir Jaffers is alive and prosperous in India.

@omar_quraishi AKU is the best university in Pakistan bar none and how this isn't acknowledged on a ranked list is pretty shocking.

@5Pillarsuk He's the mayor of London, not Lut (A/S).

@MDUmairKh There are two versions that people confuse.

The word Muslim means one who submits to God. The Quran says Ibrahim was a Muslim. He effectively says all prophets were Muslim. That would go back to Adam.

Today, when we say Muslim, we mean followers of Muhammad.

@FellahMengu @AhmedShahAzfar The genocide was reprehensible. Partition was bloody in part because the Hindu majority refused to part with all of Punjab and Bengal. And I absolutely heed your point about Indian Muslims. But Partition freed up 2/3rds of India's Muslims. There is no getting around that.

[Relentless Yapping @RelentlessYapp]

@FellahMengu @AhmedShahAzfar Sorry buddy, there are ~425M people who live to India's East and West who disagree.

Partition didn't come out nowhere. As the British Raj was winding down, the leaders of the Congress Party, Gandhi included, bent toward majoritarianism. That was a cancer for the minority.

[Relentless Yapping @RelentlessYapp]

@MDUmairKh Do you have the entire piece somewhere?

[Relentless Yapping @RelentlessYapp]

@marvisirmed @Razarumi Pakistani writers were going to say this. Indian Muslims have long been arguing that India is secular, that they were abandoned by the Muslim League etc. Hence, it's more meaningful when they start admitting that there is no overcoming majoritarianism.

[Relentless Yapping @RelentlessYapp]

@fjriwlpq @frontline_india This exactly. Congress could have built-in Constitutional provisions to protect the Muslim minority. They refused to do so.

@darab_farooqui @TVK2029 You cannot say Jinnah was wrong when over four hundred million people to the East and West are forever grateful for the decision he made including the descendants of those who literally walked on foot to avoid the inevitable predicament.

Jinnah was right.

This empty car wash at 400 Divis is proof of SF’s housing death spiral - over 200 homes stalled for nearly a decade

I’m working to change the law so projects can build under the rules they applied with, cutting millions in costs and finally turning sites like this into housing.

@admcrlsn If Mamdani is +10 and is at 49%, is it still a race?

[Sachin Agarwal @agarwal]

Notable: the Family Zoning Plan barely passed 4–3. Three commissioners voted against legalizing homes—even at the risk of a state takeover.

They were appointed by past Boards of Supervisors. To build the housing we need, SF must elect a pro-growth Board that can appoint pro-growth commissioners across every city function.

The last time the Chargers held sole possession of 1st place in the AFC West (and remained there until the end of the season) was Week 11 in 2009..

There were Manhattans all over America and we destroyed them all for cars

@MazMHussain That cursed tower.
