Result: Karol Nawrocki, the nationalist candidate, won the election with a lead of roughly 1.8%, beating the more centrist mayor of Warsaw, and will be Poland’s next president.
A really big deal today: the runoff in Poland’s presidential election.
Brief stakes: A center-right candidate faces off against a far-right candidate. The former controls the government; the latter party already has the presidency & using it to veto rollbacks of its earlier authoritarian laws.

the number of units lost in the fire is likely equivalent to like an entire year's housing production in the city of Los Angeles, almost all at the very high end of the market

I'm endlessly kind of baffled by the lack of urgency on housing California. This is the state's number one problem—a crisis so bad that's imperiling national Democratic ambitions. And all we can pass are heavily compromised bills that take effect in like five years, if ever.

Watters: So many reasons to make this a state. I think it has the third largest oil reserves in the world… I don't know if Canada is going to go along with it, but there's ways to maybe change their opinion.
