These people are living in retirement communities and don’t even know it. It’s incredible. Student enrollment has fallen off a cliff all over coastal communities. Marin county’s median age is as old as Japan!

Happy Wednesday, folks! I’m spending my evening at a meeting of California NIMBY group Our Neighborhood Voices.
The topic? How to stop state housing bill SB79, which was signed into law, from actually being implemented!
The big draw is the special guest: the LA City Attorney's office. Yikes! 🧵

The best solution to someone without a house is to house them. In the meanwhile: give them shelter! It reduces crime and ER visits, but you need to give people homes to keep them out of homelessness #urbanism #losangeles #housing www.nber.org/system/files...

A good counterpoint to some of my AI doomerism
An anecdote about why LLMs matter for open source software developers:
I maintain the tigris R package, which makes it easy to get geographic datasets from the US Census Bureau.
In April, an issue on the Census website started blocking download requests via tigris.

Justin Wolfers has some good takes on things in his wheelhouse, but like many people in my field (economics), he's happy to pundit outside his lane uncritically. Three counterpoints in the quote post below

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

We need a new follow tracker labeler I guess. Knowing who was following sus journalists and pols is a helpful way of filtering through the noise of a million randos. Like I understand why non-maga might follow J.D. Vance, but it is still useful context when trying to parse the chaos of social media.

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.
The FBI is weighing an arrest and perp walk for Comey — and suspended an agent for refusing to help, sources say
The FBI is considering carrying out a "showy" arrest and perp walk of the agency's now-indicted ex-Director James Comey, sources tell CBS News.
