There are 15.5 million vacant units and 653k unhoused people in the United States. That's an average of ~24 empty homes for each individual experiencing homelessness. In most areas, adequate housing is physically available, just priced higher than what the avg renter can bear.
Here’s the synopsis of my latest newsletter as it pertains to the neoliberal consensus that abundance is that girl: Somebody lied to her several times and told her that she was feasible, productive, efficient, and sustainable. But she’s nothing like that. She’s nothing of the…

Evictions are uniquely destructive to children, undermining social and institutional connections that provide kids with stability. A new study quantifies their damage, from increasing child homelessness to decreasing high-school graduation rates. jacobin.com/2025/07/evicti…
Suppose it’s true that operating costs are outpacing rent increases by less than a percentage point in some NYC rent stabilized units…the RGB still reported net operating incomes increasing by 10% between 2021 - 2022; a year after rents were frozen. Misrepresenting data won’t…
Rent Increases versus Operating Costs. The blue line is an index of NYC apartment building operating costs. The green and orange lines are indexes off allowable rent increases for rent stabilized buildings for one- and two-year contracts, respectively. @JasonBarrRU A four…
Bar for bar what the Nazis said when first they came for the Communists…
This is why people don't feel bad when they kill communists. It's not morally complex, like crushing a spider. It's just 100% clean work. They're like ghouls or zombies. No value.
Can yall stop using grok. Its literally poisoning a black community in Tennessee
Wall Street is the epicenter of global financial and share capital. These are multi-trillion dollar industries. New York isn’t finished lol. Hedge Funds will just have to pay their fair share of taxes.
New York is FINISHED 🚨 Zohran Mamdani plans on making new laws saying IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE COMPANIES ARE HEADQUARTERED, if you do business in New York THEY MUST PAY HIS NEW INCREASED CORPORATE TAX RATE Businesses CAN’T RELOCATE to lower taxed states to save money “What…
The NYPD budget is over 100 times more than the estimated cost of providing 1 public grocery store per borough in New York City. It’s turns out feeding people doesn’t break a city’s budget… so if you’re against it, you’re just an asshole.
I want to live in world where people who oppose Zohran Mamdani’s plan to accommodate the poor are disgraced for believing they should starve on the street. Zohran winning this race would be a great step in that direction.
If you think: -Matt Yglesias is smart -Ezra Klein and that other guy made some solid points in Abundance -YIMBYs for Harris is cool Could you please take this anonymous survey? I’m trying to better understand your policy positions on housing. Tysm! forms.gle/N5TPDXdmCVVQ9X…
Reading “abundance” to see whether the authors concede to government intervention as a necessity for production or do they solely believe in market fundamentalism. The theme’s gotta expand beyond ‘just let them build more houses’ right?
The shittiest white people woke up this morning and asked themselves ‘how can I make today all about me?’ and without a shred of irony, Charlie Kirk went with publicly refusing to give his employees the day off.
Today all of our Turning Point USA staff will be working. We will not be taking off for the federal holiday.
Hello, could you please fill out this survey if you identify as an abundance bro? I’m trying to understand you 🥺 forms.gle/N5TPDXdmCVVQ9X…
Dressing up as draftees who got their shit kicked in and now make up a sizable portion of the unhoused population due to the state willfully neglecting their needs is absolutely wild.
🚨 HELL YEAH! US Soldiers wearing Vietnam-era fatigues have taken to the streets of DC Tomorrow’s parade is going to be EPIC!
