#UrbanPlanner thinking about cities, housing, climate and how we care for others and ourselves. 🌆🌱💜
Most people want whatever they think will be better for them. The rich think he'll be better for their bank accounts, the people that are struggling think he might protect them from economic threats, whether immigrants or China. But mostly, they like feeling like they're backing a winning horse.

Noticing that something is happening is very different than liking it. I happen to be the child of immigrants and have a trans child so maybe guess again.

No one needs a permission structure to check out, if anything Trump has people more highly engaged than ever. (See voter participation in the 90s and before). They don't want what the Dems are selling, which is the status quo.

I'm going to respectfully disagree. I think the NYT knows damn well that Trump is extra great for their biz model. Here are their revenues over the past 15 years to prove.

I think you may be o restating the degree to which most people actually identify as left or right. The people who stay home aren't generally the most engaged politically. They're people who feel a deep cynicism that centrist Dems do nothing to counteract.

Saw you at the tree lighting tonight! It was very cute!

Yeah, I was confused by the number on the Y-axis but these are average monthly numbers.

This is for single unit homes, no? The number of units is overall going down in CA as the share of MF housing goes up.

It's almost like the NYT knows people will hate-read her bile and thinks trans kids lives are worth the clicks. Sigh. I need to cancel.

Spent ten days there and didn't wait more than 3 minutes for the train or bus. I have never been more jealous.

I would like to request this for I-5 in Portland, please?
