🚨The North Carolina Legislature voted unanimously (107 to 0) to ban minimum parking requirements in new developments statewide.
If we took the idea of "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" seriously, we'd be making different and better decisions to deal with homelessness stephnakhleh.substack.com/p/lightly-ho...
When you get no walkies because everyone is sick, you can at least enjoy a good snuffle mat
She may or may not be in good faith, but I have a lot of friends who reflexively believe the received wisdom that the only problem with housing is greed/capitalism—thing is, they hold the beliefs lightly (cos it's received wisdom) so treating them like rational adults has worked pretty well
Here's an old piece on this that is funny and rings true. I don't feel like 100% I'm a "mistake theorist," as the description of "hard conflict theorist" at the end also feels pretty right slatestarcodex.com/2018/01/24/c...
I too have been flabbergasted by this but my spouse pointed to a framework called "mistake theory" vs. "conflict theory" and if you are a mistake theorist (me, apparently, and probably Sam) then conflict theorists, which most online leftists are, are speaking a totally foreign language to you
But what makes housing affordable isn’t just who buys it—it’s whether we allow enough of it to exist. My piece is about the difference between income-restricted housing and the everyday housing that used to be affordable by default, before we made it illegal to build.
Peak NIMBY brain is trying to keep a neighboring airport open, even though the planes that land there are literally spraying toxins over your home, because if the airport closes then they're going to build affordable housing there. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/sant...
Have you noticed that, among some progressives, despair is now a political credential?
Like: “Oh, you still have hope? How embarrassing for you.”

Who needs Mucinex when you've got green chile tho
No, it gets full sun during the middle of the day. Here's what does great under a tree in my yard: it's a dogwood of some shrubby sort. It has nice flowers and good fall color.
I do think it's a spurge of some kind, however!
The photo sure looks like it but I don't think that's it because Eggleaf Spurge is (apparently) a "noxious weed" and I bought this at a nursery - they typically do not sell noxious weeds :)
I no longer remember what this is and Google Lens is no help, but it's one of my favorite perennials in my garden. I planted it 3 years ago to replace a dead phlox. Phlox struggles in my difficult backyard conditions but this gal thrives! Last week she was even prettier

I can't recommend bronchitis as a core workout but it IS very effective. My abdominal muscles have never felt more exercised

That's my greatest fear!
It's so much more common than I realized! I got yelled at on another forum (someone just needed to blame me, it's less scary than accepting bad luck happens), which made me realize why people don't share their stories.
He's doing well, though, at least! The benefit of a big snake, I'm told, is they are judicious. They meter their venom. The little ones are like ALL THE VENOM RIGHT NOW OMG PANIC
Look at his lil rattlesnake-bite scar 😭
That was one fang. The other fang went in like 2 inches to the left. Big ol' snake.
Why is it such a calming color I'm confused
When you don't build enough housing, you create spillover effects that raise the wretchedness quotient of the whole region #homelessness #housing stephnakhleh.substack.com/p/why-are-th...
"Filtering" is very important to understanding the impacts of new market-rate development, but the term seems to be used to describe two different things.
Today, I discuss two kinds of "filtering" in housing (and recent economic research on each topic)
