Pew The efforts worked. From 2015 to 2024, Austin added 120,000 units to its housing stock-an increase of 30%, more than three times the overall rate of growth in the United States (9%). Rents fell. In December 2021, Austin's median rent was $1,546, near its highest level ever and 15% higher than the U.S. median ($1,346). By January 2026, Austin's median rent had fallen to $1,296, 4% lower than that of the U.S. overall ($1,353). This decline occurred even though the city population grew by 18,000 residents from 2022 to 2024. In apartment buildings with 50 or more units, rents fell 7% from 2023 to 2024 alone-the steepest decline recorded in any large metropolitan area. Rents declined about 11% in older non-luxury buildings that cater to lower-income renters, known as Class C buildings.

System The transportation system consists of tunnels and surface roads which are used by Tesla cars, driven by employees, to shuttle passengers to stops at the Las Vegas Convention Center complex and Las Vegas transportation connections. 13) The loop cost $53 million when it opened in June 2021 and is 40 feet (12 m) below ground. Passengers reach the two below-ground stations with escalators and elevators. The loop is 1.7 miles (2.7 km) in length and covers a 25-minute walking distance. The plan is for the cars to be autonomous vehicles in the future. 8

Reddit screen shot: r/sanfrancisco u/kubbiebeef Received this after paying the $120 application fee Screen shot of an incoming text message: Thank you for your interest in the apartment. We've received a much stronger response than anticipated, and we're reassessing the rental price based on current market demand. If you're still interested, please let me know what monthly rent you would be comfortable offering. We'll be reviewing all interested applicants and will make a decision based on the overall application, including qualifications and proposed rent. Thank you. Already asking $4300 for a 675 sqft. place. What should I reply with?

Truck owners might protest that they are slightly less likely than owners of other categories to use their vehicle as primary transport (83% vs. 95%), limiting the miles and gallons. And they might also protest that trucks provide capabilities that other vehicles lack. But, as it turns out, a significant portion of truck owners never use their trucks for these capabilities. According to Edwards’ data, 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never). Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less. And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’être—once a year or less.

Sukrit Ganesh ＠S...・2/4/22 ... You still didn't explain how upzoning wealthy areas causes displacement. If I legalize 6 story buildings throughout Palo Alto and Bel Air, how are lower-income people negatively impacted? Even if it doesn't fix the issue of housing affordability, it won't cause displacement! 06 =l 贝企 sabrina @matrixgoth •2/4/22 and what evidence do you have that it won't cause displacement sabrina @matrixgoth Follow ... Palo Alto is ~ 35% non white; Bel Air roughly 17% non-white. there exists renters in these communities as well. these folks would be at higher risk for displacement. any further increase in land value & speculation would fuck these folks over 1:40 PM • 2/4/22 from Earth 2 Reposts 8 Quotes 4 Likes

Rupa Marya, MD @DrRupaMarya The presence of Zionism in US medicine should be examined as a structural impediment to health equity. Zionism is a supremacist, racist ideology and we see Zionist doctors justifying the genocide of Palestinians. How does their outlook/position impact priorities in US medicine?
Rupa Marya, MD @DrRupaMarya Follow Med students at UCSF are concerned that a first year student from Israel is in their class. They're asking if he participated in the genocide of Palestinians in the IDF before matriculating into medical school in CA. How do we address this in our professional ranks?

Support and Criticism For S.F. Changes Proposed residential zoning and bullding rules for San Francis co won support last night from representatives of neighborhood groups and critical comment from speakers for the Residential Builders Association. The split was evident at the first of three hearings scheduled by the Board of Supervisors planning housing and development commit-tee, which is considering the proposed major overhaul of the rules. The plan is an outgrowth of a study mandated by the Planning Commission in 1974 largely because of the deluge of piecemeal de mands it received from neighborb hood groups for tougher zoning restrictions. It would replace a planning code passed in 1960. Nearly 200 persons crowded into the supervisors chambers as the planning committee heard testimony from Supervisorial Districts One, Two and Three. Speaker after speaker repre senting the Richmond, Pacific Heights, Telegraph Hill. Cow Hollow and other areas argued that the proposed ordinance developed by the Planning Department was the product of years of effort and scores of public hearings. and uses for landmark buildings. The supporters said the plan was necessary to retain the family neighborhood flavor of the city. Builders representatives said they'd been denied opportunities to provide sufficient "input" to the plan, that portions of it are based on outmoded design concepts and that the plan ignores the economic realities of housing in the city. Vincent Walsh, president of the builders association, called the plan an attempt "by an elitist group to deny others the ability to live in San Francisco." Speaker Samuel Schneider said additional multiple bousing is the only way to relieve the city s housing shortage that he said causes inflated rents and costs for all housing.
I categorically reject the notion that we have to sacrifice basic features in vehicles for affordability while auto makers continue to enjoy multi billion dollar profits without listening to consumers. ryan cooper • @ryanlcooper.com • 3h Bluesky Elder I hear a ton of bellyaching that the cars are too expensive now, I guess we'll see if people will accept the necessary sacrifices! www.wsj.com/ business/aut...
