THE CRISIS BEHIND THE HOUSING CRISIS
In today's NYT piece, I wrote about how the housing fight is both about housing *and* retirement. We made the house do two jobs at once, and it's pitting the old against the young.

@InstantSecrecy @bivens83306 Pretty much all the states bringing this lawsuit are controlled by Democrats. I've personally thought the Democrats should've been doing this more years ago, but better late than never.

@HenryForLA @bivens83306 The political stances of you and your party say otherwise.

Good. The monopolization of media has been nothing but terrible for all of us. We need more politicians willing to bring the anti-trust hammer down on these corporations.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ICE has shot and killed yet another man, this time a 26-year-old Colombian in Maine who was not the target of their investigation.
This comes after they killed a Mexican man, who was also not the target of their operation, in Houston last week.

@bivens83306 Every leftist I know railed against that deal too and has been calling out media conglomeration for years now. It is 100% about monopolies.
English
@HenryForLA You leftists were just fine with democrat media asset Netflix buying Warner bros. Almost like this is about politics and not monopolies.

The NY Fed just dropped new consumer data and the math explains why everyone is broke.
Inflation expectations just jumped to 3.7%, but the actual breakdown is wild. They expect rent to go up 8.3% this year and healthcare to jump 9.4%.
Meanwhile, average salary growth is stuck at 3%.
You can't even budget your way out of that. Your bills are literally growing three times faster than your paycheck.

It's utterly insane that LA politicians are still throwing wrenches into getting more housing built in the city. Complete abandonment of young people and the working class for the sake of private equity.

As someone who grew up in LA single-family neighborhoods driving everywhere and now lives in a dense, walkable community, you really don’t appreciate how depressing it is having to drive everywhere until you don’t have to anymore.
James🗳@_fat_ugly_rat_
Personally I couldn’t be less interested in how walkable or how good a city’s public transit is like those have no correlation with how nice of a place it is to live IMO

People who think American can be better than it is today are absolutely the people who should be in public office
America@america
Those who openly hate America do not belong in public office representing it.

I’m in Vermont and every time I come out here and see how green it is it feels like it’s impossible that humans could ever damage the Earth beyond repair. Then, inevitably, I return to the city and realize it’s unlikely we haven’t already.

Build more homes.

We have to fix this somehow, it's just an awful trend that has to be undone

LAPD is ending their agreement with FLOCK due to community concerns & pressure‼️
Other cities have done the same.
Flock surveillance cameras have sparked huge privacy concerns around the data it collects, what it does with it, & where that information is being stored & SHARED.

The LAPD is ending its agreement with surveillance tech company Flock Safety, Eyewitness News has learned. Flock operates dozens of cameras in L.A. that use automated license plate readers, according to the department. The agreement is set to expire Saturday. abc7ne.ws/uD8erT

You mean to tell me that zoning for more homes will result in more homes being built?
Dr. Jeremy Levine, PhD of city council meetings@JeremyELevine
Palo Alto has had FIVE SB 79 applications in just one week Smaller projects, 230 new homes all combined. Designs are preliminary because everyone is rushing to get pre applications in, but overall really wonderful illustration of what zoning reform makes possible

I’ve been hearing about climate change since Middle School and watching as politicians from both parties either actively make it worse or refuse to seriously address it. We are not prepared for what’s coming.

The 2026-27 El Niño is simply astonishing. Tropical Pacific waters are running nearly 7 weeks ahead of where they’ve ever been at this point in an El Niño cycle in modern history. Models now put the peak strength at 3.6°C on the Relative Oceanic Niño Index (RONI), the new standard for measuring El Niño that adjusts for background ocean warming from climate change. That would beat the previous record (Dec. 1877, the strongest El Niño ever observed) by 0.7°C. In the context of climate, that’s completely blowing the previous record out of the water. For context, an El Niño is informally considered a Super El Niño when, for 3 months, the Niño 3.4 index is 2.0°C or above. Frankly, expect extreme climate and weather impacts over the next 12-18 months. Forecasts have also been consistently, aggressively wet for California and the southern US. Many of California’s largest floods have hit during El Niño years, and in very strong events, El Niño typically becomes the single best predictor of a very wet winter in California. It also elevates the odds of a megaflood in the state. @Weather_West’s research found 7 of 8 modeled ARkStorms occurred during moderate-to-strong El Niño years. The bigger picture: 2027 could be the first year Earth briefly touches 2°C above preindustrial levels. With each successive model update, the forecasted strength of El Niño is increasing, with ensembles now putting a 94% chance on a Super El Niño this winter. Virtually certain.
