Petition to release Meatball into the Texas Capitol during cricket season.
A good filter for whether you should work on the Hill or not is if you think this is a funny story to bust out at a dinner party or "unacceptable workplace culture"

The two-over-pub makes the world’s best neighborhoods.
I wonder what percentage of people, when showed a picture of this building, would say that they would be ok, or even excited, with it being built in their neighborhood. I would think a surprisingly high number of people, even in SFH neighborhoods.

Walked twelve miles.
Today I walked 11 miles and ate ramen noodles for dinner because I have no cutlery because I can’t prove to Amazon that I’m old enough to buy a butter knife.

Austin, TX's rental market has corrected hard. Asking rents are down 18% in the last three years. And now, rents are almost back to pre-pandemic levels. Apartment developers in Austin are taking it on the chin after overbuilding in this market for the last 5 years. The good news? Austin is now one of the most affordable markets in America to rent, relative to local incomes.

Three bills designed to improve Texas' housing shortage and affordability have just been signed into law. Congratulations to @TeamBettencourt (SB 15), @SenBryanHughes (SB 840), and @AngeliaOrrForTX (HB 24) on these major wins for #txhousing — and to @egbd27 for representing Texas 2036 at the signing!

Visited SF for the first time in many years last weekend, and I found it disappointing that the home of so much innovation and creativity appears to be totally fine that their most populous neighborhood looks like this. Median sale price: $1.5 million.
The fact that Cincinnati, Hartford and St. Louis are all building more dense housing than SF is an astounding indictment of a supposed world-class city.

My best friend is in the process of buying a home in Connecticut. Here's what you can get for half a million dollars in the area she's looking.
Gov. Lamont says he will *veto* HB 5002, the broad housing bill proponents say would boost affordable housing in the state. He says he hopes to see an amended version in a special session this fall. “Veto to me means we can do a lot better.”

There's a joke in here somewhere that if you think our land is being pilfered to build housing then I've got half of Western Colorado to sell you. A truly ghoulish proposal.
.@BasedMikeLee is secretly trying to sell 3 MILLION acres of America’s public land for development. And it includes some of my favorite places, specifically ones in the pictures below. Americans across the political spectrum are **overwhelmingly** against the sale of our beauty
