@SwannMarcus89 It’s a good law and I certainly hope it does supersede local control.

Every problem is harder to solve when there's a housing shortage.

Building housing around transit is good, actually
Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD@houmanhemmati
⚠️ A horrible day for California as @GavinNewsom signs SB79, which will allow developers to build as they please around “transit.” The more Newsom says “it doesn’t supersede local control” or “this is not some land grab by the state,” the more we know it is!

This is why housing is so expensive. Not Blackrock, landlord greed, or avocado toast...just your neighbors & parents who bought a house, then used local government regulations to make it impossible to build more
The result: Their housing prices go up. Young people locked out

74% of LA's residential zoning is single-family housing only. The median cost for a house in LA is $1,023,474.

@jasoncoxnc @scottlincicome This is the kind of situation where Twitter has changed the most. The dumb replies used to get buried.
English
Never quoting a @scottlincicome tweet again.
People get big mad when you reference a statistic and do some basic math, apparently.

Americans are about to learn how to -maintain their own lawns -clean their own house -make home repairs themselves -grow a home garden Everyone nostalgic for the 1950s might not realize what that actually entails.

@StatisticUrban @OriginalBad He surely would’ve delayed ACA implementation without needing Congress.

@ImDenoshi @bobbyfijan Do you have any example from any time in history when a better design won NIMBYs over?
English
@bobbyfijan I think with a little better exterior design, we can win people over.

I don’t think it’s crazy that people look at this and think “I can understand how that’s ‘good’ to build … but not in my back yard”

If I move to Orange County (NC) in the next 9 months, do I have to change my X handle?

@DurmBull @NCDemParty Roy Cooper can probably just walk right into the senate with no effort if he wants to

Watching Tillis get taken down by a MAGA candidate ought to be fun. @NCDemParty needs to organize now and be ready to win this seat in 2026.

this chart is one of the most vivid recent examples of how to lie with data
millions of people convinced that millions of votes were added last year because people put up a truncated chart mid-count
sharing in part bc the chart made me pause when I saw it at first

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but can we go back to what happened here?

When you realize a lot of folks (yes, even on the left) say outrageous things for more engagement to make money, X makes a lot more sense.

I wish I were one of the 100 million people who believed Trump when he lies about good things he’s not actually going to do. I would be happier.

Ticket splitting is a new thing. Never happened before. That’s the new conspiracy theory. 63,000 likes and counting.

I do not believe in the mirage of voters who voted the whole down ballot Dem but also voted Trump. Apparently, millions of Americans did that, but I haven’t seen or heard of a single one. So if that’s you, please explain.

Government needs to work much, much faster than this.
Armand Domalewski@ArmandDoma
democrats put enormous amounts of money into infrastructure investments like CHIPS and IRA but voters didn’t see any of it because Democrats are just totally unwilling to confront, or even mention, the process ghouls that strangle everything in red tape
English
@ArmandDoma Yes and also another experiment that’s exactly the same except they run as a Republican.
English
Honestly wonder how well a Democratic candidate running in a red district would do if they ran on a bog standard Democratic platform but just obsequiously sucked up to Trump at every turn
