I'll forever be grateful for the time I worked for Rick. His passion, generosity, and curiosity continue to inspire me.

I'm not sure. We're users of PV now. The team that maintains it shifted to ITS a few years ago. Have you checked the open data portal?

The way that's always been useful for me to think about it is that housing explains what areas have high homelessness, but that individual factors like you're identifying determine who in those areas may become homeless.

Probably Office of Performance Management, plus various innovation initiatives across different administrations.

Are you taking requests? Nashville MSA would be interesting.

"Dessert steak" is entering the lexicon, next to "meat as condiment."

The Limey is definitely what I rewatch the most. But Schizopolis will always have a special place in my heart. I just can't afford to pay full theater price every time I watch it.

There's access to Richland Creek from the Greenway at McCabe Park. Further out, Beaman Park

Nashville maternity program celebrates anniversary amid fears of cuts Since expanding last year, the Nashville Strong Babies program has seen tremendous success.

Nashville Strong Babies is a lifesaving measure that I wholeheartedly support. Metro Public Health leaders are collaborative and innovative to save the lives of infants and mothers.

Thanks, Nate Rau, and @axios.com (Axios Nashville) for covering this program.

I've seen economists complain about these requirements for years. Given their durable nature, requiring convertable spaces always made sense to me, but I've never seen someone dig into the feasibility of it.

Why Commercial Property Rents Are So High Even With High Vacancy and Low Demand Commercial space rents can remain high despite high vacancy rates and lower demand for several interconnected reasons, many of which are tied to the economic structure of the real estate market. Here’...

This seems comprehensive. In the Denver case, supply restrictions doesn't seem like the issue. Still a little hard to square with a supply glut.

I've heard that for whatever reason, lenders require minimum rents, even in the face of high vacancies.

So what can we do?

If you are doing exciting work with R, share it!

And if you are using LLMs, tell them to use R; I’m creating things with R these days I never thought possible.

This is why I post so much about {mapgl} and other packages; I want to see R continue to thrive!

Lots of variations at data.census.gov

I think Census is best, but for something more timely I recommend Apartment List, which says they index to Census. As far as I can tell, other sources seem to overestimate due to who they monitor and who is out of sample.

That spike is downtown, midtown, and our pikes. Single family was steady until interest rates rose. Attached SF also rose after the pandemic.

Don't let us get sick
YouTube video by Rob Elliott Don't let us get sick

Jill Sobule's cover of Warren Zevon's "Don't Let Us Get Sick" never fails to break my heart.

Don't let us get sick, don't let us get old
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave and make us play nice
And let us be together tonight

You could try and then also ask if they can designate showings for parents. I've see other theaters do it. Lights not down all the way, noises ok.

The relative offensiveness of "bitch" and "son of a bitch" seems like the set up for a logic problem.
