increased supply reduces prices
One of the biggest barriers to implementing pro-housing policy is the folk wisdom that building new market rate/mixed-income housing increases rents even though study after study shows that the opposite is the case:
building more housing lowers rents
building more housing lowers rents
Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.
Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

See, at campbell’s soup, being a “Vice President” doesn’t mean what you think it does.
A soup compang isn’t an investment bank, where being VP means you’re next in line to be CEO

It’s a tough conversation to have but this is advice best delivered after you rappel into the house, crashing through the living room window wearing all black and calmly removing your wrap-around Oakleys, saying, “Hi, I’m Tom Cruise with an important message from the Mortion Picture Association”

to the extent there, in fact, single issue voters on the topic of 'what Colbert, Kimmel and fallon say about politics', they're both in the Trump administration
Like the Afghanistan pullout it also came at the same time people started getting mad about the economy and was the moment people who weakly supported him were like well I didn't vote for this.
it's very fitting that in retrospect, Trump's failure to oust Jimmy Kimmel was the point that his administration turned. It's been all losses ever since

a very funny outcome would be to have fill in over the holidays with breaking news hits on short staffed days and then that’s it
"One person familiar with Nuzzi noted that her current contract may only run through the end of this year, meaning the magazine could let it quietly expire over the holidays."
The odds that she doesn't actually write for Vanity Fair is pretty high.

Scoop: As questions swirl around Olivia Nuzzi, I’ve learned she’s been relatively absent in the day-to-day at Vanity Fair, as the magazine continues to weather the storm the controversial hire brought through 1 World Trade Center

that said, an interesting thing I've seen multiple times is a grifter being exposed by regional media in the 1970s or 1980s and simply moving elsewhere in the country, because if you lived in, say, California there was very little chance you would stumble on an expose from Texas.
