Remember, “Gentle Density,” aka Missing Middle housing, doesn’t just include ownership homes like townhouses/rowhouses, duplexes/triplexes, multi-plexes, etc. It also includes normal, everyday walk-up apartment buildings that are commonly rental apartments. For some reason, those often get left out.

The world’s most important mayoral election begins tomorrow. The election that determines if the remarkable, inspiring Paris transformation into a better city for people instead of a city choked with cars continues or goes backwards. Please #VOTE if you’re eligible. Good luck @egregoire.bsky.social.

“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.”— Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. No matter what happens in the Paris election in 4 days, the world’s cities owe @annehidalgo.bsky.social a huge debt of gratitude. The boldest, most inspiring mayor I’ve seen.

This is interesting — Stephen Colbert’s show has an average daily audience of 2.7 million viewers. And the lineup for last night’s show that included @jamestalarico.bsky.social would likely be considered average at best. In under a day, the YOUTUBE interview has 3.8 million views & climbing. So…

Over a million views in 11 hours. Guess the bad guys trying to silence this Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social really didn’t work, huh? Such a shame… #StreisandEffect @colbertlateshow.bsky.social youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

Hong Kong is ringing in Lunar New Year, the biggest festival on the Chinese calendar. But for bereaved families and survivors of the Tai Po fire, there is little to celebrate as they mourn loved ones and homes lost in the blaze.

Navarro has repeatedly (and falsely) claimed that "illegals" were taking the jobs of Americans, including in this very interview. If that's the case, then why is he now warning that job growth will slow amidst mass deportations? Shouldn't this be boom times for native-born workers?

Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

Trump said he would try again for the Nobel Peace Prize this year so he began the year with… an illegal war of regime change in Venezuela, after spending Christmas Day bombing Nigeria.
