![Excerpt reads: "Prioritize your neighborhood
Neighborhoods drive our happiness (or unhappiness) more than we think.
When Lina Martinez, director of POLIS, the Center for Wellbeing Studies at Universidad Icesi in Colombia, studied the happiness of households in the city of Cali, she couldn’t find much difference between poorer and richer areas. “Their happiness is pretty much the same,” she said. But that changed when she isolated neighborhood conditions, such as access to transit, health care and parks. “The conditions of the neighborhood affect happiness,” she said. “I can’t link that to the space where [people] live.”
That aligns with findings from a 2023 study of the Vancouver metro area: Researchers found no significant differences in well-being between people living in single detached homes, duplexes, townhouses, laneway houses and apartment buildings (basement units smaller than 300 square feet were the only negative exception). What did people say they missed most in their neighborhood? Affordability, proximity to family and friends, and a sense of community. Home design was eighth on the list."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreicapfknasylzk2lqzaxxeb5mchgnru75obggn45dusda6j5zogvuu@jpeg)

A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected.

How redefining special needs rocked education
Broadened criteria are benefiting the better-off, harming those facing greatest difficulty and straining the system
El nombre d’estudiants amb necessitats educatives especials augmenta cada any. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com explica que això es deu sobretot a criteris diagnòstics més laxes i que passa sobretot en zones escolars més benestants, cosa que augmenta desigualtats i dificulta l’atenció a casos greus

Un informe de Consumer Reports —una especie de OCU americana— analiza la fiabilidad de coches usados con entre 5 y 10 años de antigüedad. De las diez peores marcas de la lista, todas menos una son estadounidenses. Tesla ocupa el último lugar, a más de 40 puntos del 1º, en una escala entre 0 y 100.

No one before Sam successfully raised a child, which is why the human species went extinct in Mesopotamia. Seriously, the best way to read this is that countless billions of humans did just fine but Sam is not as competent and self-reliant as them, and that's what AI wants us to be: dependent.

Why the £18 million for playgrounds in the budget is so important – and how it should be spent
Play has been pushed to the edges of children’s lives.
Children’s outdoor play has declined by 50% in a single generation. Only 27% of children play in the streets regularly, compared with 80% of adults when they were children in the 1970s.

"en los precios de la vivienda también influyen las expectativas en relación a los precios futuros. Así, la perspectiva de una fuerte plusvalía constituye un potente incentivo a la compra (...) el precio puede moderarse, incluso cuando persiste el déficit habitacional"
