This is not even remotely true, and in fact America is unique among high-income countries for allowing – and getting! – new 3-, 4-, and sometimes 5-story walk-up apartment buildings. Our new housing stock is VERY inaccessible compared to Europe’s

recently drove into Manhattan with a friend who was moving his stuff into the city and… it was literally the worst experience ever. pure gridlock. took us 20 minutes to go 6 blocks. anyone who drives in the city on a frequent basis is a masochist

Funny when people propose individual solutions to the housing crisis that wouldn't scale "Just get a better job", "just move to the suburbs", etc. My brother in Christ 20M people wanna live in New York and there's only 4M apartments, it doesn't matter how good everyone's job is

I met a dude yesterday who's almost 40 and has never had a job in his entire life. I feel like LA is one of maybe a handful of cities on planet Earth where you could meet a person like that.

I'm often asked why I care so much about housing policy. My answer is simply because never have so many suffered so much for something so stupid

it's a miracle america is the economic powerhouse that it is given the anti-urban nature of so many of our systems and the general attitude of the populace

A major child labor rollback goes into effect in Iowa this weekend. 14 year-olds are now allowed to work in meat coolers, 15 year-olds can join assembly lines and 16 year-olds can serve alcohol. In a few weeks, similar rollbacks take effect in Arkansas. who13.com/news/new-iowa-
