I'm finding it a bit annoying that the chatter on Keith Pettigrew is all about how Johnson didn't get what he wanted and not... like... how he might run CHA.

Over the next few days, we'll introduce our four new Associate Editors. First up: @philipgarboden.bsky.social, who studies supply-side housing market actors and policy. His work on landlords has shaped how we understand their role in housing markets and communities. We're lucky to have him!

Without getting into the issue of whether or not blocking corporate ownership of single family rentals is desirable, this seems like a poor way to restrict it. Can someone explain why this is preferable to other disincentives... a pigouvian tax perhaps?

Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole Until he wakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling of his grave

This is a disappointing article from the @chicagotribune.com @jake-sheridan.bsky.social leaving out the social context of e vs w of Broadway, the fact that proponents outnumbered opponents 2-1 in plan commission comments, and letting obvious lies go uncorrected www.chicagotribune.com/2025/07/20/p...

Some of y’all can’t handle two high agency males going at it and it really shows

I appreciate the transparency, but would it not have been simpler to have AI write the books that AI made up in the AI generated review?

On Sunday, May 18, the print and e-paper editions of the Chicago Sun-Times included a special section titled the Heat Index: Your Guide to the Best of Summer, featuring a summer reading list that our circulation department licensed from a national content partner. 🧵

Heartbreaking to see announcements of major layoffs at most research organizations that have played a vital role in supporting federal statistics for education and developing high-quality evidence about what policies/practices actually work. Below are just a few examples from my LinkedIn feed.

It's like I'm waiting anxiously for the HUD pick, but also glad that it doesn't seem to be a top priority.
