@devarbol @HMBrough_ I mean most of SV was also really into China until it became clear that it wasn't possible to monetize tech there which is when they turned. If it was a viable export market for western SaaS, we would have XI school of thought throughout VC twitter.
@mattyglesias And yet when you pass through a full PPP (owned and operated), private-operated or public airport, the average traveller won't be able to tell the difference. PPPs are a framework that can lead to good and poor outcomes, not guarantee them.
@lxeagle17 R might lose trust in higher Ed, but for the twitter takes crowd, this has been exclusively a focus on elite colleges (see Columbia, Harvard scandals) because those are the only institutions of relevance to them. Completely different issue than experienced by broader society.
@lxeagle17 It's no coincidence that elite (incl. Atlantic/Bloomberg columnists) millennials are starting to care about this as if becomes more relevant for their children (and the status anxiety around this starts at very early child age in those circles)
@markhlyon @jasonshevrin Ultimately, the e onomic value is captured by investors and installers at expense of DC rate payers. Put it another way, the same SRECs would support vastly larger amount of renewable capacity outside of the district.
@markhlyon @jasonshevrin Building rooftop or worse - ground mounted solar within the district is an economically misguided policy (as can be seen by SRECs prices). The same renewables impact could be obtained at fraction do cost by building utility scale solar in neighboring states.
@cmkatestewart There has been a severe deterioration in road safety, and the council continues to push for less traffic enforcement. There needs to be a concrete push to increase enforcement to avoid reckless driving in MoCo.
@AdamPagnucco The rent control law has exemptions for units that have recently constructed. How does this fit into potential developments at the Adventist site?
@RealTimeNews10 @LauraBr65174409 He can't really articulate it other than a steady diet of right wing news that tells him to hate him. This is a good explanation for where this is probably all rooted https://t.co/igNy37OV9Q
@ShakerBall_Cap@quantian1 I mean this actual home as specced is nowhere near 600k. This is 800k actual home in that line without any of the weird decor and custom windows and instead full of builder grade stuff: https://t.co/91QejP1DHA
@TrueFactsStated There are plenty of homes in the 400 range a mere 5 min walk from TKPK in PG county. TKPKs rental rates are also far below what is charged on DC side. So why are people still complaining? (I suspect it's because they want to live in a million dollar house/neighborhood...)
@pmeyer19 This is a desired policy outcome to Stewart and Elrich. Housing affordability for them is a token amount of (decaying) rent controlled housing so their core constituents can enjoy single family zoning undisturbed by development.
@ericsaul22 @MoCo360Media I've spoke to Elrich on this and think he favors the Takoma Park model that's focused on preserving existing single family housing and freezing any new market rate developments while engaging in performative progressive signaling 💯 NIMBY to the core.
@CMKristinMink Really frustrating how the same people who "believe in science", reject basic math, economics and decades of demonstrated policy failure when it comes to affordable housing policy. NIMBYism wrapped in faux progressive veneer.
