one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)

This graphic explains SO much about U.S. truck/SUV mania & consumer culture generally.
“As pickups transitioned from farm/ranch workhorses to lifestyle vehicles, their design shifted accordingly: Cabs expanded to accommodate more passengers, while beds shrank. The first generation of F-150s were 36% cab & 64% bed by length. By 2021, the ratio had flipped.

one of the things that makes talking about single stair and redevelopment a little different in NYC is that their building code allows use of scissor stairs - which while not as compact - still allows redevelopment of small lots

Trump doesn’t need Congress to vote on releasing the Epstein files. He has the authority to release them today.
But he won’t. Because they’re a hoax created by the Democrats to hurt his presidency.

In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

The House bill being voted on today to require cash bail in DC is insane.
DC hasn’t had cash bail since 1992, and crime has plummeted since.
Our current system is near identical to federal law.
People should be held pretrial if they pose a safety risk — not because they are too poor to pay bail.

the overwhelming majority of units are dual or corner aspect - offering a quality of life far better than you find in US construction.

These is a troubling quote because this is not how it’s supposed to work. Fire safety rules are supposed to balance cost and benefit, not just push for any possible risk reduction no matter the cost.

You get the sense listening to firefighters and code professionals that most multifamily buildings in America are built in rural areas with volunteer fire departments that rely entirely on ground ladders. I think it reflects where a lot of them live more than the reality of multifamily construction.
