Part of the reason Costco pursued the apartments on top was to take advantage of a @cayimby.bsky.social sponsored bill (AB 2011) that allows housing projects in commercial zoned areas to go through an expedited permitting and approval process.

Costco is co-locating housing above a new store in South LA, 800 units.
Unbelievable that we've been building malls & big box stores for, what, sixty years, and never figured this out

It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

American conservatives will look you right in the eye with a straight face and tell you that complete and utter subservience to masked federal police is patriotism, anything else deserves being executed in the street, and tax dollars for healthcare is tyranny.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power
- file impeachment articles every day in the House
- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee
- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.

Surreal seeing Trump sweat over the possibility of impeachment, and implore Republicans to win/cheat in the midterms not for any legislative agenda but to avoid getting impeached, while leading Democrats go "oh no, not that" when asked about impeachment in the face egregiously impeachable offenses.
If impeachment is so useless, why does Trump fear it?

the ramifications of building affordable housing on top of libraries is:
-more affordable housing
-renovated library
-all at reduced cost to taxpayers (as housing rents subsidize the library renovation)
it’s the most obvious win-win ever so of course these left-NIMBY weirdos oppose it

On my annual winter e-break I came to the conclusion that basically every facet of our lives has gotten worse because a majority of people now primarily "live" online and thus only experience the world in the abstract. The loudest voices online/in culture aren't actually living real lives anymore.
There should be a sort of 24 hr soft ban on this site that, when logged in, asks for your location and then indicates the distance and directions to the nearest park or outdoor public place

On Air Force One, a reporter noted that some had called it a kidnapping and Trump said that was a good term for it.
BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.

I think it’s a bit more complicated, mostly no one was too excited about a third Walz term (no governor has ever won a third term), which left him vulnerable to these types of attacks. I also think that between the VP campaign and the assassination of Melissa Hortman, he might be pretty burnt out.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

the thing is, “differing political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

This year has turned me fully to mush. I'll straight up look a friendly cashier in the eyes and whisper: "Never lose what you have inside you."
My sincere year-end thought isn’t an original one, but its importance has been underscored to me repeatedly over the last 12 months: be free with telling the people you love that you love them, casually, and at every chance. Great love, small love, every type of love.
