Saying “build affordable housing” is like saying “build used cars.”
Ross Barkan@RossBarkan

@chrisrlynn I don't even like Jane Jacobs. I am pro-public housing. Moses' slum clearance was fine. The problem is the new housing being built isn't affordable.

@TweetBenMax The 2019 rent law she pushed for has functionally bankrupt 1/3 of the rent stabilized housing stock. It's dangerous to elevate the willfully naive.

Lot of attention on Cea Weaver, Mamdani's new tenant-protection director. We spoke at length in October, largely with a focus on ZM's "rent freeze" pledge & rent-stabilized housing, but we got into other housing topics as well >>

Zohan chose a fitting location: a beautiful train station built by the private sector but shut down by government and now inoperable. A symbol of former beauty destroyed by feckless, clueless government. He will turn all NYC into this station: a relic of a once great past.

🚨 BREAKING: Ugandan Communist Zohran Mamdani has officially been sworn in as the mayor of New York City May God have mercy on what was once America’s greatest city 🙏🏻 Hopefully, at a minimum, a lesson will be learned here.

In New York, the non-degreed tried valiantly to save the city from the degree-holding horde. There just weren't enough of them. From exit polls:

It bears repeating: Mamdani’s base isn’t the poor. It’s young elites who feel downwardly mobile—high earners convinced they’re worse off than they ought to be. That’s the fuel for Zohran’s brand of grievance politics. It’s built on the idea that if others win, you lose.

Horrific scenes from a pogrom of Palestinian Christians in one of my favourite West Bank villages, Taybeh where I have many friends. Here is the article I wrote about it @nybooks Disappearing Christians | William Dalrymple share.google/3Sc3zjpCfM0ylM…

More horrific footage from the Israeli settler pogrom against the Christian village of Taybeh, Ramallah, in the West Bank, where settlers set houses and vehicles on fire.
