Freeze the rent? More than 70 metro areas have actually done it, and more. Annual rents are down in Austin, Denver, Phoenix, and other places that built a ton of supply—plus other places like DC that are dealing with iffy demand.
Apartment rents are falling in more U.S. markets today than at the height of COVID lockdowns in 2020. Half of the nation's 150 largest metro areas cut rents year-over-year through October. Most of those are high-supplied markets dealing with the biggest supply wave in a

Subprime borrowers, except with longer amortization
Gonna be hilarious when 50 year mortgages result in higher institutional ownership of single family homes in a decade.

The abundance agenda for chicken and rice - this is the way!
Chicken over rice now costs $10 or more. It's time to make halal eight bucks again.

Respect for the Baltimore Planning Commission and @ElectRyanDorsey!

“We need to grow . . . the solution is to try more stuff, to do more things, to listen to people from other places and see what happens,” Planning Commission chair says.

I’m not against lemonade. I just support 100% truly affordable lemonade, provided it has full neighborhood approval and satisfies 16 key sustainability metrics and the lemonade is for long-term residents, NOT transients, and it doesn’t infringe on parking spots or neighborhood
if god wanted that 5 year old kid to sell lemonade in nyc, he would have gotten a license from the government.

Minneapolis built more housing than any other major Midwest city & it’s not a mystery why. They allowed modest density housing types city-wide, cut regressive parking mandates, and made it easier to build apartments near transit. The results: more homes + slowed rent growth.

In the 80s we'd roll up to a friend's house and ask if they wanna ride bikes. No particular destination, just ride and talk and laugh. That doesn't have to stop when you get older. 😎

“Abolish Property Taxes” is the homeowner equivalent of “Freeze the Rent” Both are sound great to the individual, but are ultimately completely unsustainable.

Rand Paul talking sense - wow
We don’t blow up boats off Miami because 25% of the time suspicion is wrong. We shouldn’t do it off Venezuela either. These are small outboards with no fentanyl and no path to Florida. We can’t just kill indiscriminately because we are not at war. It’s summary execution!

Colorado is half western Kansas and half eastern Utah. Few understand this.
@SYNESTHEIZURE I went to Denver for tourism and was like…so confused. This train from the airport…is not scenic? This city in the Rockies…is not near the mountains? Its idea for a downtown…is St Louis??

I have a mental illness that makes me think that people will change their minds if I present the correct arguments with the appropriate facts and data.

The price of housing is set by supply and demand and new homes will always be more expensive because they’re new. When you refuse to build new homes for rich people for long enough you get San Francisco and London, where crappy 130 year old apartments cost one million dollars.
"No matter how many houses you build, if they are not affordable, then you will not solve the housing crisis." @ZackPolanski at our @TWT_NOW panel on why we need to take on the profiteers and the corporate giants to win homes for people.

Housing & clean energy are popular. Full stop. Democrats should be aggressively promoting more of both of these things. Making housing & clean energy more abundant & affordable — & overturning Democratic orthodoxies that make them more expensive for people — is a winning agenda.
