NEW: “The strategy [building homes for millennials who hadn’t had kids yet] worked — until millennials aged out of it. As they now enter their 30s-40s & start having children, they’re ditching cities where the housing stock never caught up to their changing needs.”

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2

We should develop and fund a plan to reconstruct this predictably dangerous street with traffic calming measures, maybe throw in a nicer bike trail while we’re at it.
"Preliminary information indicates the pedestrians were in the crosswalk and had the right of way when crossing Summit Avenue," police wrote in a statement Monday afternoon.
