You open your feed to see a startling satellite image: a military base on fire. But is it real? It's become harder to tell. I warn of the risks posed by fake satellite imagery in this piece for TIME. time.com/7328281/disinf…

It was not meant or expected to be this way. Public housing’s litany of social ills and management problems today obscures the public-spirited idealism bordering on the utopian that ushered public housing into American life, writes AEI's Howard Husock. thedispatch.com/article/a-new-…
