Today’s Census print on single-family housing starts was a head-scratcher. Homebuilders we survey (consistent sample size with minimal noise) saw starts per community drop -13% YOY nationally in July, with all regions falling except for the Midwest. In order for the Census data to be correct on July single-family starts +7% YOY (NSA), builders would need to grow community counts ~+20% YOY, which is very hard to believe and doesn’t match what we're hearing, even from the big builders.

"In the nearby Diocese of Orange, priests are now celebrating Mass in people’s homes in order to protect them from ICE. We are now a country which is driving religious practice underground. Ask yourself where you have seen this sort of thing before." thebulwark.com/p/the-parasit…

NEW: When @ICEgov took José into its custody at Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego in January, he told medical staff at the facility that he had colon cancer. Since then, his symptoms have worsened and he has begged them for treatment — to no avail. capitalandmain.com/detained-…

A Tesla worker in my district was electrocuted to death because the company ignored safety rules. OSHA fined Tesla $50,000. Elon Musk makes that back in nine minutes from federal contracts alone. Workers’ lives are worth more than nine minutes of Elon Musk’s day.

Met Calley Mersmann on the bus into downtown—a perfect way to meet Cleveland’s new Planning Director. A champion for sustainable, equitable transit, she’s led Vision Zero & Complete Streets efforts. Appointed by Mayor Bibb in Feb. 2025, she’s shaping a more accessible Cleveland.

To our public servants, I’m sorry you are being threatened. You deserve so much better. I remember how proud I was when I first swore my oath as a civil servant. Honor of a lifetime. Remember why you chose to serve. Stay strong. I and many others will be right by your side.
