If you had to name a station after Trump, what would the station be called?

Hopefully there are GPU orders and data center buildouts getting cancelled this second. Mining facilities turning the lights out.

The American Rowhome built by The American Housing Corporation

The American Rowhome built by The American Housing Corporation

For a half-century, America has critically under-built family-sized housing in our most dynamic cities and neighborhoods, rendering them childless and unaffordable.

It's time to save the American Dream.

Introducing The American Housing Corporation.

It's not limited to cities, either. When the organ at a small-town church is disassembled because the church can no longer afford the upkeep, it's the physical manifestation of the decades-long erosion of the social role that church played.

Perhaps character is defined by the interaction between the physical forms of a place and the way people use them.

Physical form shapes how people see a place but so does its social use. Working class brownstones can become upper class status symbols.

I've been using cursor lately and feel absurdly guilty that when I resolve the issue, I close the agent without thanking it for it's help.

Setting aside what uniquely was happening in Germany in those years, it's very characteristic of German stereotypes that they blow the world away in creation of formal standards.

There were a number of other great candidates for HD49 and I would be overjoyed for many of them to win as well. I'm very excited for HD49 to become one of the most pro-housing districts in the state of Texas!

AURA Endorsements for Texas House Reps!

Josh Reyna has earned @aura-atx.org's endorsement and mine for Texas House HD49. I didn't know Josh before AURA's candidate forum but I was blown away at his exceptional commitment to housing, thorough understanding of the issue, and experience working on it at the lege.

I'm trying to picture classic Trump tweets if he had always had this tic:

"Everyone knows I am right that Robert Pattinson should dump Kristen Stewart. In a couple of years, he will thank me. Be smart, Robert.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's not that people have stopped reporting on countertop materials altogether. But there's less "lifestyles of the upper middle class" envy reporting and more "she can't afford where she used to live. Here's why."

I've sensed a change in journalism over the last decade: fewer real estate reporters focusing on trends in interior design, hot and cold neighborhoods, etc. More "housing and affordability" reporters focusing on housing costs: what effects them, how people are affected by them, etc.

Professional athletes' college experience is very different from the average person's. In many cases, it includes much less traditional education. College attendance or even completion is likely not very meaningful for this population.

"Make life higher quality at a lower price and you'll induce demand for more lives."

I think this is too broad. People choose between having kids and, say, traveling. Make traveling cheaper and you may get fewer babies. We specifically need to make raising kids higher quality and cheaper.

I believe that Woke / Progressive Natalism is essentially choice natalism: remove all barriers to having children from anyone who wants to have children.

China's population falls again as birth rate drops to lowest since 1949 Despite lifting the one-child policy to allow three children, the fertility rate remains low. Most families cite the costs and pressure of raising a child in a highly competitive society.

The Phoenix built-to-rent single family house / townhouse market is fascinating. (link for info, not promo)

People often conceive of it single-family houses turning from ownership into rental, but I think of it as the rental market turning from apartments to single-family houses.

Austin office market never ceases to amaze me. We have the highest vacancy rate in the country so prices are...going up? I'm guessing this is a composition effect. A bunch of new Class A office space came online, raising average asking price and vacancies

My mind was blown learning "single stair" rules produce more stairs per person

6 single-stair buildings next to each other, with 6 total stairwells between them, can populate the same footprint as a single large apartment complex that has only 2-3 stairwells connected by long smoke-filled hallways.

There's gotta be a middle ground between the corruption-ready, spoils-infested strong mayor setup and the "Yes, Minister" bureaucratic grind of staff outlasting electeds in the city manager setup.
