Water: the final boss of housing
Foot in the door :)
Reminded of a great @jgrantglover.bsky.social banger
Yes this kinda flew under the radar. But it’s a big deal man.
Look how that turned out for LA. Bring Chicago home would have been a disaster for homebuilding.

JFC. Chicago food influencers have been activated as useful idiots to attempt to stop common sense legislation that improves affordability for consumers and businesses.
Be direct please
So the response is *more* discretionary review that inevitably stalls housing production?
Between Warren's ban on corporate ownership of housing, Booker's proposal to gut the income tax, growing movement against utilities rate-basing capital projects, & Hochul doing no taxes on tips etc...
I'm really fearful that democrats are taking a massive pivot toward slopulism writ large
The amount of leverage that good engineers have with agents right now is mind boggling
Iowa farmer: We've had this huge jump in fertilizer prices because of this conflict. With 30% of fertilizer coming through the Strait or Hormuz, we've only been in conflict for 12 days here, and our fertilizer costs have jumped 77%.

There's a huge problem with this bill, and it's that until a house has a certificate of occupancy issued, the BUILDER owns it, not you.
Your mortgage is your bank buying it from their bank.
So as this law is written, no builder could develop more than 350 houses at any one time.
More reasons to hate Elsevier!
“Elsevier, the company that makes a lot of the compulsory textbooks for University, commissioned scientists to develop a new book binding glue designed to fail after 3 years, as they hated that there was a second hand market.”

I like $DNRSF in that area
conservative evangelicalism is the direct theological offspring of slaveholder christianity and it contains all of its pathologies, part infinity

One of the @abundanthousingil.bsky.social members made this cool sample ballot kind of tool that works for all Cook County residents

A friend of mine just unearthed this unhinged NIMBY ad that helped get Alderman Scott Waguespack elected in 2007
This is foundational to understand who he is and how he views new housing

Send Musk, Thiel, and Sacks back to South Africa
Trump take beer

Senator Schatz just went nuclear on Senator Warren's disastrous amendment to the ROAD to Housing act.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Pass the BUILD Plan!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/pass...
Feel like shit, just want Claude back
Ask the people who build homes, and they will tell you this will stop them from building homes
There are plenty! That’s what made this so frustrating
Same here
