Korean War veteran Gil Stokes and I discussed housing problems in our district at last weekend’s Saturday Pancakes with Cliff at Kava’s, including the failure of some landlords to maintain their rental units properly. (Apologies for my poor selfie skills.) #akleg

This Op-ed for the Alaska Bar Rag written by former AG Havelock during the opening of the Zobel cases and consideration of Alaska's revenue and tax base are an interesting look into the time capsule.

[Burhan Azeem, Cambridge Vice Mayor @realBurhanAzeem]

A bit wonky but… as we see our first 1 → 55 unit project underway, I wanted to talk about why I designed our 6 story zoning as a 4 base + 2 density bonus.

I was hyper focused on it standing the test of time. I passed it 8-1, but there’s a lot of pressure to feel like you can chip away at it, have your cake and eat it too in policy.

By default you can create up to 9 units at 4 stories, and with 20% IZ you can create however many units you can fit (in this case 55) at 6 stories.

This creates a feedback loop: if 9 market rate units get built and no affordable, that’s not what we want and it’s the signal that tells us we need to fix the economics of the 6 story, because the affordable component is the single most popular part.

And if we have pressure to downzone and limit density, that would likely tip the balance toward a building with no affordable component, which is also not what we want.

6 stories before the building code changes kick in is the sweet spot, economically and politically.

Of course we should do more to make permitting faster and more buildings pencil, but this was an initial tight feedback and incentive loop that at least defends the gains we’ve made so far and ensures we don’t go backwards or just legalize 6 where nothing pencils.

Sometimes support looks like tears. Sometimes it looks like stillness. Sometimes it looks like calling a friend and not pretending the day is easy. When people cannot cry, I do not tell them to force it. I tell them they are not broken. I tell them that the heart has more than one language. Some hearts speak through work, through care, through silence, through art, through prayer, through walking until the mind softens. Tears are one way of telling the truth, not the only way.

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.

Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

@FoodFreedomNH So you think you are getting a hand crafted dessert, sauce, specialty bread? United foods, Sysco and others can provide the whole item or supply parts n pieces for assembly.
