We got 25% of our rent paid back and a bunch of apologies from the PM. Don’t be afraid to speak up and band together!

SΓ£o Paulo figured out mass homeownership. The answer? Pre-sale reform.

The brutal, despicable, and grim side of war. The burial of the 150 elementary school girls killed in American-Israeli strikes on #Iran was today.

The owner decided to hire his old friend to do the job to save money. It’s kinda crazy guy is like 80 years old jack hammering concrete to get to a pipe.

It took 2 days, but I got my fellow tenants in my new apartment complex organized!

They cheaped out on hiring professionals. Bad repair job = 5 days no hot water, 2 days no water at all.

Apparently this happened before and they didn’t know their rights? Now everyone’s getting a check from the PM.

I’m so excited to finally have this Terner Center report in my hands! These insights will help guide my legislative work this year to unlock more housing construction innovation. We know the housing crisis is formidableβ€”it’s time to get creative in how we solve it.

Exactly it’s bad politics. Just be truthful and reforms can have multiple benefits!

When I’m in a Tesla and sit in the back I get nauseous and felt every bump. Seats are comfier and ride was smoother in the BYD I was in.

Maybe a different model

This is what I wish we could have done with Rockridge BART or at a park to not deal with freeway noise.

Fun, free, and everyone is on wheels all day/night.

A cure to male loneliness is to allow bros to open Accessory Commercial Units in their garages.

This was like 5-7 minutes descending down to the airport β€” skyscrapers as far and wide as the eye can see.

Time to check out how this all works together infrastructure wise.
