This is an exceptional article, expose and self-reflection that should be read by everyone with an even casual online gambling hobby or serious habit. Share it with your friends and loved ones.

My Full statement on the Office of Planning’s draft Future Land Use Map. Rent in DC is still too expensive. Owning a home is still out of reach for too many of our residents. Making it easier to build more housing is essential to solving those problems. Unfortunately, the draft future land use map released this week by the Office of Planning is simply insufficient to the task. dc2050.dc.gov/pages/draft-fu…

The Afroman Trial. -Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons. -Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up. -No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman. -Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras. -Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives. -During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat. -The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation. -Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit. -Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them. -One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife. -As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE. -The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman. This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

Some professional news: I'm joining Anthropic's editorial team! I'll be leading the team's work on economics and policy, and working closely with the Anthropic Institute (about which more here: x.com/AnthropicAI/st…). Dramatic AI progress is coming in the next two years, and researchers+policymakers+the public alike will need the best information available about that shift. It's a big new challenge, and I can’t wait to get started. [Some important housekeeping: I’ll keep running Statecraft at @IFP as a Nonresident Senior Fellow! And will remain on the board at Recoding America/ as a journalist-in-residence at @johnshopkins School of Government and Policy. I start at Anthropic in a few weeks.] The move from frontier think tank to frontier lab is bittersweet. I’ve been at IFP for three years, and it’s been the most formative professional experience of my life. In a short period of time, IFP has become one of the most effective institutions in DC, generating a truly shocking amount of counterfactual policy impact (not all of it public). Being on this team has permanently raised my ambitions. I'm very grateful.

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

Pretty astonishing. In Texas, between 10:00 am and 4:00 p.m., 80-90% of electricity comes from carbon free sources. And storage is already a significant contributor in the early morning and evening

Very useful measure of pre-NEPA delays. Federal agencies measure NEPA timelines from Notice of Initiation (NOI) to Record of Decision (ROD). But sponsors and agencies do years of work *before the NOI. This is widely known but rarely measured. x.com/ThomasHochman/…

Today, @joinFAI and @ShopFloorNAM have a new joint report outlining the permitting barriers to manufacturing in America. We sent a survey out to NAMs 14,000 member companies. The result is a trove of new data and detail on the national permitting picture. 🧵 on findings:

NEW in The Abundant Future: The Senate just passed a housing bill that was originally focused on building more rather than a rehashing of the usual subsidy playbook. But at the last minute, it included a provision that could kill new construction – prioritizing a popular talking point over good policy. Our own @BailleeBrown on how the abundance movement should view this win, our frustration, and what comes next:

Over the past six months, I’ve become a total geek about factory-built housing (FBH). At this point I have probably toured more housing factories than any other lawmaker in the country. If FBH can flourish elsewhere, why not California?

Caleb Hammer explains why rent control doesn’t work “It’s one of those policies that sounds really good and really moral. You want to support it, landlords make less money and people pay less rent. But everywhere it’s been enacted, permitting has dropped significantly, and rents have gone up even faster for the average person, except for the few lucky ones in subsidized housing” “Units go untouched and aren’t maintained at all. I think something like 10-20% of rent controlled units in New York are empty because they can’t be brought up to standard, since it’s not worth investing in. In Massachusetts, rent control was a complete disaster and had to be repealed. In San Francisco, the moment they introduced it, permitting dropped. It just hasn’t worked”

A great nugget from @ConnorTabarrok in a post about developing-world water and sanitation infrastructure: "State capacity need not exist within the state." This will be a recurrent theme of US political and institutional life, just as it already is in the developing world.

This is a fabulous piece of longform journalism by @mckaycoppins, who might be the only person in the world both situated and capable of writing this first-person account. Just a great read.

Benjamin Miller@BenMillerise·
Over the past 2 years, we’ve owned and developed 10,000 housing lots in “for-sale” housing. Everyone is thinking about it like building a single house, but the typical development is 20-50 acres for a community of hundreds of new homes. The biggest risk is the horizontal land development because it takes 2-4 years and costs millions to turn 20-50 acres of raw land into finished lots (with power, water, roads, grading, etc). Build-to-rent provided a backstop for the land development in case the housing market crashed. We included it as a backup alternative in our underwriting. Now that BTR is banned, we would not take the land development risk and I bet we’re not the only ones.
Mike Palicz@Mike_Palicz

The Home Builders lay out a straightforward argument that the forced sale provision for Build-to-Rent homes would lead to 40,000 less constructed homes per year. Cass should have the decency to explain why he thinks they’re wrong, or why this is an acceptable trade off.
