The Democratic Party is the vanguard of global bourgeois liberalism (laudatory).

The whole "The Dems would be a center-right party in Europe!" line is so old and moldy that having it in your apartment would open you to eviction. This was true in like 1998, maybe, but the past 28 years have seen America move significantly to the left while Europe stagnated.

The future of the Democratic Party is the PMC which is why a small portion of the Left loves to holler about how the PMC is bad, it's the same thing that happened with YIMBYism

An April 2024 appraisal by real estate brokerage Colliers submitted in a bankruptcy case involving the project estimated the as-is market value of the complex at nearly $434 million. Colliers also projected a cost of $865 million to complete the buildings, which are 60% finished. Other industry estimates to complete the project reach $1 billion.

The LA Times piece had some cost estimates.

I've been commuting on the E Line for the first time since pre-rona and the most striking change is there are way more cops around but still no enforcement.

i.e., they get on the train at Expo / Western every morning to "check" TAP cards, but it's cursory and they never use card readers Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Contributor: Los Angeles is sabotaging itself on housing The city's chronic housing shortage is not for lack of technical capacity or earnest speeches but due to political leaders’ ambivalence toward a remedy.

Idk how I missed this excellent @jessezwick.bsky.social piece a few weeks back.

Yeah on the labor front I have no idea, any info I have on motivations is on the NPIC side.

Yeah the authors knew what they were doing although (maybe to @urbanlandrent.bsky.social β€˜s point) the orgs that endorsed ULA should have been less credulous.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this take, that it’s more an issue of the modern sedan being a victim of its own success.

The Scotch-Irish weren’t even Anglo-Saxon. Guy can’t even get his 18th century race science right.
