What level of the “Abundance Agenda” do you reach before reinventing the prewar boarding house?
This is what tech oligopolies like Microsoft, Oracle, Tesla, etc. want for America.
Airbnb, the company single-handedly responsible for removing 7% of Ocean Beach housing & over 7,000 homes in the city of San Diego... ...is the primary sponsor of @YIMBYDemsSD events. YIMBYs in bed with the very corporations making housing expensive. Don't trust them.
I am sick of the tired platitude that for an ally like Israel we must not disagree publicly or in the media. Not when there is mass starvation. This is the time for every American to speak up publicly. PM Netanyahu, let in the food, medicine & aid. We must not be complicit.
Once you realize democracy in America is confined to a few little corners of government, everything makes a lot more sense. This is not really a democracy or even a democratic republic - in a society that's turned its elections into auctions, those terms don't really apply.
The state of yimby economics in 2025: shitty clip art and the hermit crab myth of trickle down housing affordability to justify, and I quote, "expensive new condos"
New housing is expensive and not affordable to the poor. But the people who can afford to live in the new building vacate their old home, which is affordable. The affordability benefits of new housing are indirect.
1) "quality of care likely deteriorates in mergers initiated by large chains" 2) "our results show that [private-equity] chain ownership degrades the quality of care more" 3) small mergers by operators may have good efficiencies if they don't concentrate share within a market
When independent nursing homes are bought by chains, the quality of care improves due to more efficient management. nber.org/papers/w33967
Wild how Yimbros condense white flight to the suburbs, disinvestment, light rail destruction - decades of social shifts driven primarily by capital - into one neat myth: “They made it illegal to build.” It’s an opiate for people who crave simple answers to complex problems.
The starter home of a 19th century worker. Then we made them illegal to build and now that house is $1M+ and that worker instead has to live 45 min outside of the city, completely detached from the community he works in.
Here is the thing. “Abundance” advocates say zoning is the reason rents are too high. Not true. It’s urban land as an asset class and associated “landlordism”. Thread below with some facts.
Note to haters: This shows that for North American center cities, already built out by WWII, adding lots of housing did not have the effect of lowering prices, compared to those center cities that added less. docs.google.com/document/d/1AJ…
we are, tons of it and it’s all unaffordable hm
Blue states, I'm begging you to build housing
Long way of saying MTG has more principles and cares more about human lives than you do 🤷🏽♀️
The fact that no one cares about this will forever be a mystery to me. Stupidity? Cognitive dissonance? Evil? IDK. But it really pisses me off that the people doing nothing are taking all of us - and all species - with them. 🤬 apnews.com/article/climat…
This 100% should not be allowed
International buyers purchased $56 billion worth of US homes in 1 year, per NAR.
he's correct here I've said it before, and will say it again: In refusing to combat the economic crises facing the working class, Democrats create opportunities for the American Right to pretend to be the populists.
What does it say that the epitome of the status quo - Obama - endorsed the vision of Abundance? It says that the real goal is to just keep the same people in power.
Obama weighs in on Abundance:
BREAKING: Representative Ro Khanna is introducing an amendment to force a vote demanding the FULL Epstein files be released to the public. The Speaker must call a vote & put every Congress member on record.
You have lost a quarter of your purchasing power in 4 years and no one is rioting. You literally were made 25% poorer so the government could spend more money to hand out to their friends.
What are the odds this July’s Mediterranean heat is natural? About 1 in a billion! It's the most extreme Mediterannean heatwave on record. Peak anomalies +8C (+14F) now off France/ Italy with absolute peak temps near 31C/88F. Those are isolated, but how deviant are the overall…
So neither President Biden nor President Trump will hold those who violated young girls on Epstein Island accountable. That’s what we’ve found out.
The central problem of the United States - beyond immigration and identity - is staggering wealth inequality and the inability of younger people to get their piece of the American Dream. The right must address this forcefully if it wants to vanquish the multicultural left.
