YouTube video by NBC10 Boston Mass. public defenders take steps to unionize

#Massachusetts public defenders have filed the initial paperwork for a ballot initiative that would allow them to unionize. They will still need to collect signatures to get the question on the ballot.

Nope! Rent control in Portland, Oregon; Quebec; DC, Maryland, etc, hasn’t impacted new construction. It keeps people in their homes, and new construction lets people move where they want to

Great. Rent control doesn’t inhibit that

I agree with building housing! But saying “Hot take, the movement of people to different areas and homes is a good thing actually” implies you want people to be forced to move due to being priced out. The messaging is: building housing lets people stay where they want to stay

People should move when they want to, not when they’re forced to due to cost. YIMBYs need to understand that 90% of people want to stay where they live and don’t want to be displaced

Doggedly we fight, because rent control is right 😎

Let's make Massachusetts more affordable & bring our working families some needed stability.

Help us collect 75,000 signatures to qualify the question to cap rents statewide for the Nov 2026 ballot. #MaPoli

JD Vance and other pedophile protection party officials are holding an emergency meeting tonight over their strategy on the Epstein files.

This cover-up is a disgrace to Epstein’s victims. The American people deserve transparency and accountability.

Release the Epstein files.

Abstract I construct a new nationwide dataset to measure the stringency of residential zoning in the United States and examine its effects on housing production, prices, and demographic sorting. First, I develop and implement a structural break detection algorithm to infer minimum lot size regulations. The dataset spans over 16,000 local jurisdictions within Core-Based Statistical Areas, capturing both cross-jurisdictional and within-jurisdictional variation in zoning stringency. I find that 18.5 percent of single-family home constructions bunch at the minimum lot size threshold, suggesting that these zoning requirements are binding for a substantial share of single-family development. Second, I estimate the effects of these regulations on housing market outcomes, exploiting variation across nearby zoning districts within municipal border regions. The results show that minimum lot size regulations increase home sizes, sales prices, and rents. Moreover, restrictive zoning disproportionately attracts high-income white homeowners, reinforcing patterns of residential segregation.

Research by Jaehee Song just published in the Journal of Urban Economics finds that restrictive single-family zoning in the US increases housing costs and "disproportionately attracts high-income white homeowners, reinforcing patterns of residential segregation" doi.org/10.1016/j.ju...

@massgovernor.bsky.social, Speaker Mariano, and Senate President Spilka, it's your turn to do it now.

You’ve heard me say it before: the only thing New Yorkers hate more than a politician they disagree with is one they can’t trust.

And you can’t trust a word Andrew Cuomo says.

Members of Homes for All Mass, a coalition of housing groups across the state, plan to file an initiative petition with the state attorney general's office Wednesday, marking the deadline for ballot question backers to submit signatures and proposed language needed to start of a lengthy process.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

🚨The Denver City Council voted 9-3 to abolish minimum parking requirements citywide for all uses. This means more room for homes, small businesses, and people—not empty asphalt. A major step toward a more affordable, sustainable, and people-focused city.

Truly, you’ve done amazing work on housing! Keep it up!

look if you can't feed your lynx you don't need to do this. I *will* take the lynx off your hands and let it ruin my life. I will get evicted and possibly permanently maimed for a chance to own the slightly larger cat.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she's looking to redraw the state's legislative lines in response to the Texas gerrymander — even going so far as to suggest amending the state constitution to move up the timeline.

Not if you can’t afford to live here! We need legislative action on housing!

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

NEW. U Mass Poll.

Trump approve/disapprove: 38%/58% (cf. April, 44/53).

How much have you read, seen, or heard about Jeffrey Epstein?
A lot 36%
Some 41%
Not much 19%
Nothing 4%.

Trump administration hiding important information on Epstein? Agree 63%. Disagree 15%.

The fact that the one game made by an explicitly communist co-op game studio now has three successor studios making a self-proclaimed sequel to it, and dispute the legitimacy of the other two is, of course, the most communist outcome possible.
