Andre Dickens won the Atlanta Mayoral race largely by flipping eastside liberals, who were likely voting strategically for Moore in the general as an anti-Kasim vote. Moore got 53% of the general election vote in Candler Park precinct, but only 33% in the runoff.

Are you not entertained?! #GoBlue〽️

Jayden Perron calls it GAME!

Fascinating breakdown by Dan Wetzel, there will come a day OSU/Michigan realize their property is more valuable alone than with conference TV rights Could sell that stand alone game between 150-200M or more

I'm looking at housing starts, I'm looking at LA port traffic, May retail sales.

This is BEFORE the tariffs. I didn't think we are ready for what housing starts will do the next 3 months (basically any project without locked in construction pricing)

Graph #2 here indicates Dems did pretty good, all things considered. AND that GOP likely to overreach and could have the rug pulled out if the economy goes sideways at all

This is accurate. Fraud has gotten ridiculous these days, I hear it everywhere I go. When I was doing affordable development our leasing teams spent a ton of time trying to suss out all the fake documentation

Rapid innovations in leasing fraud (synthetic & stolen ID's) cost property owners $$, artificially limit availability & put upward pressure on rents... Screening is critical for resident safety, too. Want to get it right. Tough topic, but a lot more complex than this headline.

Elevator cost! I think this has been detailed better elsewhere but the type of elevator commonly used in European single stair design is way cheaper there than a similar elevator here, in part bc it can simply be smaller.

I've seen great missing middle 6-plex or 12-plex design in 3 stories but you can't park it on a standard infill lot. It requires assemblage, dramatically reducing it's scalability even if zoning code allowed it. Nothing to do with single stair code. It's about parking.

Parking is such a huge driver of design. Maybe a deal can absorb underground parking, but likely you are building a deck of some sort. Must good European design is predicted on way less parking. Again, nothing to do with single stair building code.

Same with exterior architecture. Most "good" architecture in the US is in high-cost/high-rent areas where either institutional investors see long term value or a merchant developer thinks it'll drive a higher rent today. IMO it's not bc of the stairs or building size

you can have small, efficient floorplans with shallow depths that feel good in a double loaded corridor, and you can have family units too. It is possible without the single stair. It's not necessarily as efficient from a cost perspective. But it's very doable.

Shorter/narrow blocks naturally will lead to narrower buildings. Small, fragmented lots in dense environments will lead to smaller "missing middle" type buildings. And if you don't have these constraints the single stair thing by itself probably isn't the "cause" of stuff

Look I like point access block buildings too but the general obsession with them obfuscates a few things. This particular thread I think misses how much existing block and lot design matter, regardless of single stair design.

Well let’s check the Dem’s resume, she was probably a shill for the fossil fuel industry or something. Oh. Hm.

Dems don't do the over-pandering, take credit for everything, obviously dishonest stuff nearly as hard as Trump and the GOP (obvs some do ofc). There seems to be zero penalty for this kind of brazenness, so the take away is Dems should bray loudly about any good thing they can

In 2020 I was one of 7 dems that won a district that Trump won, so I held a series of listening sessions with people who voted for Trump and voted for me to understand their actions. I reread the transcripts yesterday and much of it felt like it could have been said today. THREAD

"Deals" & "peace" with Russia & China will be profitable for Trump & his pals, who don’t care about US allies or interests or casting millions into despotism. Ukraine suffers, Europe sleeps. NATO was nearly dead & Trump will finish the job. The real fight starts now. 7/7
