Thrilled to announce that my book NIMBY NATION: The War on Growth That Created Our Housing Crisis and Remade American Politics, is under contract with Bloomsbury and slated for publication in fall 2027. Please spread the news to anyone and everyone!

reposting for the morning crowd

@alykatzz thank you!

The expectation that everyone have a view on everything—from Harvard University to random people on Twitter—and the assumption that the absence of a point of view must mean the person/thing necessarily disagrees with yours, is a disease unique to the social media age

With a toddler in the house I now end up going to the grocery store nearly every day for one reason or another and I'm going to venture a guess and say Europeans don't actually enjoy this

@mattyglesias funny way to spell "Jerry Brown"

@jdcmedlock nearly got run over this way in Miami last month

It's not the sole determinant of electoral success but it seems important that the Dems are going into the election as both (a) the more unified party right now and (b) the party better positioned to pick up the types of voters who are disaffected with both candidates

@mattyglesias what a weird movie

@georgemporter I think that's true in some ways but you have a lot of humanities tenure lines created in the '40s-'70s

Put another way, to explain why the humanities are declining particularly severely right now you have to explain why the current university is different from the Cold War research university or even the Morrill Act university, two other "STEM-centric" eras in higher ed

I find it funny how articles sometimes in the same exact newspaper will have radically different takes on what causes housing costs to change based on whether the framing is "what's happening in homebuilding these days?" or "this neighborhood is worried about development!"

@dylanmatt One wonders however if this sort of stuff isn't at least partly responsible for why these people end up seeking a divorce

what a great map
