Lomborg's (~clever) schtick has always been to prioritize actions that sound good, but drop profit-threatening actions to end of list so they won't get done.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

Dick Cheney was a cruel bureaucrat who made corrupt institutions more abusive. Officials in those institutions then surrendered what was left of their morals to accommodate his evil vision. In time, those institutions became even more corrupt. What politicians say today will be revealing of the rot.

It's also why all of those smug european countries are pulling back on their welfare programs. They were happy to have them when they were relatively homogenous but now that they're afraid of immigrants having them - esp POC - they're scaling back
"Why don't people support welfare programs?"
Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness.
White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky

this is why i think the power of point access blocks is even greater at scale...
not only do you house nearly same number of people - you do it in like 60% of the footprint
meaning construction costs go way down.
more privacy. more space for trees. more daylight. homes that cross ventilate.

here's version w/ (4) 6 story 'el'-shaped PABs
300 homes
half of them are 2-4 bedrooms (status quo development in seattle right now has that number at <6%)
max FAR: 2.8 (less than half what would normally see on a 6 story site)
lot coverage: 47%
look at how massive those courtyards are: 🌳🌳🌳🌳
