question for people who write, especially who write longer pieces: what are you using for that? what's a good program for tracking edits & rewrites? surely you're not just tying away in Word...

i could write a thousand words explaining it (and maybe will soon) but the short answer is money plus building codes creates a solvable algorithm when maximizing profit and this, unfortunately, is the solution.

can someone alert the incumbents at portland city hall that socialist principles have taken root. maybe they can find a couple kickin' around to use in their policy platform.

Am I going insane or does the top of this NYT story on Portland read like vintage Breitbart?

Too extreme. Too inexperienced. An absolute disaster.
Mainstream politicians are sharpening their attacks, and the wealthy are threatening to move away as a socialist revolution sweeps through the city.
They're not talking about Zohran Mamdani or his plans for New York City.

— have already taken root at City Hall.
