One of the biggest barriers to implementing pro-housing policy is the folk wisdom that building new market rate/mixed-income housing increases rents even though study after study shows that the opposite is the case:

building more housing lowers rents
Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.

Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

Speaking as a journalist, it has long been clear — and more so all the time — that something is *rotting* in the world of New York and Washington political reporting. Actively, visibly suppurating. Oozing with maggots. Even as many of the people in that world have denied it.

The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

Okay so apparently the Indian government has an organization called HIMANK in charge of building infrastructure on their border with China and someone somewhere in the bureaucracy decided that all the road signs should have those silly quotes your aunt sends you on Facebook.

Shout out to all the single people traveling back to their hometown in the next day or two to visit their parents for the holiday.

Just do it. Text your high school ex. See if they want to go hit up the bar the night before Thanksgiving. What could go wrong.

Union forces had suffered some 5,800 casualties but inflicted twice that on the rebels. When a chaplain asked General Thomas whether the dead should be sorted and buried by state in the new military cemetery, the Virginian who stayed loyal replied "Mix 'em up. I'm tired of states' rights.” (21

Then the civilian drew back the man’s blanket and saw a frightful wound. The soldier glanced at it and said: “Yes, that’s what did it. I was almost up. But for that I would have reached the top.” He looked up at the civilian, repeated faintly, “Almost up,” and died for a just cause (end thread)

That evening, a Christian Commission worker wandering a field hospital asked a wounded Union soldier where he’d been hit. “Almost up,” the man replied. When asked again which body part, he insisted, still seemingly swept up in the charge: “Almost up to the top.” (22
