  1. Everything about this is insane. The Chronicle just reported six were mothers. Just what the fuck?
  2. Property taxes are such a local issue I won’t even pretend to understand the dynamic in NYC, but as a very general very if the regime is weighted to benefit wealthy old homeowners at the expense of everyone else (as it is in CA), then I do actually think reform is a discussion worth serious consideration. But to your main point - yes, that is definitely an example of the inherent tension of his left YIMBY pivot of promising affordability by supporting policies that make things unaffordable.
  3. Not really. She’s been interested in it for years.
  4. Lighten up, Francis, I was being humorous and assumed you would have picked up on that particular issue. I’m a single issue voter on housing! Leverage doesn’t have anything to do with it.
  5. I mean, to be fair, the goal of growing social housing via enacting policies designed to drive down the value of rent controlled housing stock and forcing the owners into bankruptcy court-ordered sales to the city was, while certainly thinking outside of the box, never a particularly good one.
  6. Dunno if anyone has followed Devin Snow, but in the depths of lockdown this dude began hitting up hole in the walls every Monday for red beans to hype up small businesses and became a huge local social media follow. Today, after 300 Mondays, he wrapped up the series at Queen’s in Kenner. What a run.
  7. Kalshi seems to have him as the clear front runner. Porter is done. Hopefully Mahan keeps rising.
  8. I’m assuming you will drive up 101. The Benbow Inn is our go-to spot for the first night of the drive north. It was built when 1010 was first developed as a getaway for the Hollywood crowd. Cool historic spot that I highly recommend. If you are heading to Crater Lake (which you absolutely should) I also recommend a pit stop in Ashland, a nice, quirky little town known for its annual Shakespeare festival. Quite a few nice boutique hotels there. To put it gently, not much Shakespeare is read elsewhere in the region.
  9. I meant that it is a museum and very average by contemporary standards. But it is a good place for big groups, so if you just need a place to enjoy sazeracs and have trout almandine then go for it. The only thing I note is that, when I do get dragged there, I consistently find service rushed and inattentive, making it difficult to enjoy sazeracs and trout almandine. But maybe being an eight top solves that.
  10. Hasn’t changed a bit. Or in the 26 years before that.
  11. Might be a top 5 Chotiner interview for me.
  12. Big news: the Devilliers (LPG folks), following the closing of Justine, have bought the Upperline property. It will be a new restaurant.
