not on some nativist bs but it’s interesting how many classic american superheroes (batman, superman, spiderman etc) are played by non-american actors

By Matty Yglesias’ logic, the prices for tickets for US and Canada games should be way more than Mexico’s.

Um, ok...

This paper forthcoming at the JOP provides evidence that rent control in Germany actually made tenants MASSIVELY *less* NIMBY.

This result was in the opposite direction of the authors' pre-registered expectations.

And the effect sizes are, truly, massive.

Shai Gilgeous Alexander is playing better this season than Kobe ever did in his prime

Timothee Chalamet gives me the impression that he’d trade his role in Call Me By Your Name for a 10 day contract

Between the Hyderabad girl who opened the Chanel show and Tyla’s concert in Mumbai, we might have gotten the best PR for India all year this week

“Between 2010 and 2022, structural fires in Berkeley injured an average of 2 people per year, while between just 2017 and 2022, traffic accidents injured or killed an average of 694 people annually.”
New post: a week of hectic back and forth with fire officials and city council over Berkeley street festivals brings out into the open a conflict in city halls across USA. Fire depts opposition to traffic calming and safety measures. Is there a solution?

The Fire Department vs. Traffic Safety Advocates
Street safety advocates are butting heads with fire officials. Swift fire response does not have to come at the cost of lives on the roadway.

Is DC just not going to make a sequel to The Penguin or The Batman? Like why have they been radio silent about it

Frankly i don’t care if the Steam box is as expensive as a PC. It’s natively running something that isn’t Windows, and that’s good enough for me

Random thought, but is urbanism/YIMBYism the alt-left?

It’s a very real pipeline that young men fall into, but it doesn’t seem to lead to the alt-right like other young male interests like fitness and history do

In 2023, Berkeley passed the HARD HATS ordinance to raise construction labor standards on large buildings.

How can we take the high road on labor without stalling new housing?

One way: project streamlining, similar to SB35 or L.A.'s ED-1, to shorten application to breaking ground to a few months.
