@Breaking911 Why does this guy only communicate with suspiciously specific details?

The funny thing about antisemites is them being unsure are about who they hate and why. Like is it the Israelis you hate? Or is it the Ashlenazi -bergs and -steins? Is it not the black hat Hasids? These are such different populations and vibes. You guys are so confused.

@unusual_whales We are literally dealing with terrorists. What did you expect?

JUST IN: Strait of Hormuz still blocked, per WSJ

@steeler4ever79 How to make your backyard unusable

@grok @Polymarket @grok how do you know? Because he was communicating to Iranians about events in Iran

@SamEshaghoff @Polymarket No, it's 8 PM ET (Eastern Time). Trump told Baier the deadline is firm for Iran to agree on reopening the Strait of Hormuz—or face major U.S. strikes. Tehran time (UTC+3:30) isn't the reference here; it's a U.S.-centric ultimatum.

BREAKING: Trump confirms to Bret Baier, "8 PM is happening"

@Fullcourtpass @ShamsCharania I hope Mikal Bridges likes Milwaukee

Giannis Antetokounmpo told the Bucks in a meeting in late July that the Knicks were the only other team he would play for, per @ShamsCharania The Bucks refused to move him and Giannis agreed to give the new roster a chance to grow (espn.com/nba/story/_/id…)

@BillAckman Bill we just played for the first time last night after the seder. The whole family loved it! Thank you

If you are looking for a great family game for Father’s Day, you will love Ticket to Ride, a superb board game for ages 6-100. The best strategy board game I have played since I played Risk for the first time. Bear in mind that railroaders will have a competitive advantage.

@BryonTRussell @sha256manny Completely blind to building vintage

@SamEshaghoff @sha256manny Do you have it aggregated where one can explore how rents cluster as a function of building vintage?

🚨The Q1 2026 data is in. This is my second quarter collecting the most up-to-date data on New York City rents and integrating them into an interactive heatmap. Link at the bottom.

@BryonTRussell @sha256manny I believe that. These are gross rents tho

I happen to have verified that the per square foot rents (bottom line for new development) from that website that is not to be named, are significantly suppressed because it's broker self reported unit square footage used as a marketing tool. We've done two neighborhoods so far verifying new construction floor areas against their apartment data pages, and it's off by 15-30% against what a true HPD defined square foot would be as a developer would pro-forma it. I want to build a tool for new construction that allows me to map building by building, what the true $/SF rents are. This is laborious because it requires verifying unit areas from approved plans as there's no database that has this data reliably.

@JulienHKK It’s relative. Hit the buttons to focus on each region and the gradients change

@SamEshaghoff How is Astoria that green

@LinkofSunshine Actually I was wrong. Looks more like 92nd. Anyway I don’t make up the data— the crime bubble appears at precincts with multiple murders reported :)

@SamEshaghoff On 78th? 😭

@katiewr31413491 There is no denying that the many costs and inconveniences imposed upon landlords contributes to the need for higher rent

@SamEshaghoff Why would anyone want to be a landlord!??? Just 1 deadbeat tenant can cost u ur mortgage !!

@ghostobs3126991 It’s a positive feedback loop. Supply is short, rents go up, developers are incentivized to build nicer apartments, demand increases (repeat ad infinitum)

@SamEshaghoff When you say "gentrification" here, what exactly do you mean? If rents go up in those neighborhoods, doesn't that just reflect increased demand (and limited supply)?

@jreagandineen It’s highly correlated. The question isn’t whether rents will be up, but by how much. I also think that if the mayor is serious about clamping down on inheritance tax exemptions, many families will look to move to the counties just outside the city limits.

@SamEshaghoff I know you focus on NYC and surrounding Burroughs but I believe given the current market, it would be interesting to see what the YOY change is in Hudson. I think the data would see a comparable spike in demand a price point.

I don’t study NJ the way I do NYC, but I will tell you: (a) JC is undeniably charming and it’s very easy to get to, and (b) gentrification is an outward spread, and (c) if growth has been demonstrably willing to cross a river to go to the east, there’s no reason why it wouldn’t be willing to cross a river to go west

@SamEshaghoff Sam great data. Interested to hear your opinion on how this data will impact Hudson County. Specifically Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, Bayonne etc.

@AIRSTEVEJOBS Will look into this. Thank you

@SamEshaghoff Layer it with this crime map nemesis.nyc

@jaymart222 The current RS system is totally misaligned with public policy objectives

There are literally thousands of 3,4,5.6 old bedroom apartments in the rent stabilization system renting for as low as $200 per month per bed currently occupied by renters who inherited them who are single renters. Let me know when we actually care about righting housing size for families. Until then it will take the rest of our natural lives to build enough multi bedroom units to scale of need based on current building costs.

@kleib323 @Duderichy It sure is gross

@SamEshaghoff @Duderichy Is your map showing gross rents or rent per square foot? If it's gross, Tribeca looks expensive because those converted lofts are larger units compared to the tiny apartments in places like Nolita and the West Village

I still don’t understand why tribeca is so expensive It’s a transit desert adjacent to a bunch of culture things but not directly next to them there’s no greenery…

@jkrog_ Thank you! Pulled from a leading NYC real estate marketplace (intentionally not named)

@SamEshaghoff This is a great viz. What's the data source out of curiosity?
