I love this idea that whoever enters an election first has a divine right to consolidate the vote

now I’m just imagining a guy in 2019 posting “Delaney entered the race before Biden. man, shut the fuck up”

I’ve always found the “distraction” comms to be extremely stupid. Trump does a lot of awful things because he is awful, not because he wants to distract you from the Epstein files which is a distraction from gas prices which is a distraction from his corruption which is a distraction from…

The Numbers Don't Lie
Los Angeles County's housing crisis is not a mystery. Fifty-nine percent of renters in the county are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing. And despite years of promises that market-rate development would eventually bring costs down, a 2025 study by Neighborhood Data for Social Change from US's Lusk Center found that of the nearly 152,000 units built between 2018 and 2024, only 10 percent were affordable to lower-income residents.
The math simply does not work. Building market-rate housing in one of the most expensive cities in the country does not produce affordability — it produces profit for developers while the crisis deepens for everyone else. Any candidate who points to market-rate development as the primary solution to LA's housing emergency is either not grappling with the data or not being straight with voters.
Huang understands this. Her platform centers affordable, social, and public housing precisely because she recognizes that the market, left to its own devices, will never prioritize the people who need housing most.

Rather than address these issues, Raman has instead built her mayoral candidacy around easing requirements for housing developers and prioritizing market-rate construction as the path to affordability. That is not a progressive housing policy. It is the conventional wisdom that the development industry has been selling to city governments for decades - and it has not worked.

yeah I’m sorry but Rae Huang is a deeply unserious left-NIMBY who is now attacking Nithya for being too pro-housing.

the grand irony here? despite all of the leftist prose, Rae’s anti-housing policies are fundamentally a continuation of Karen Bass’ NIMBY status quo

A moment to thank Supervisor Aaron Peskin and Marina Nimbys for their tireless work preserving this development site until state law permitted high-rise towers by-right. Without their efforts it would have been rebuilt decades ago under the existing four-story zoning.

Our AGF blog is new but we have great readers!

Deputy Mayor Bozorg already knew the thesis--she knows how zoning & feasibility work--but I'm honored to see it shared as a useful explainer

Mayor Mamdani is laser focused on housing supply & his team is leaving no stone unturned

my brother has worked as a cook in 5 different restaurants across NYC/DC and has never gotten tipped out (apart from a special occasion where a customer was so happy with the food that he went into the kitchen and handed out $20s to everyone)

yeah it’s counterintuitive but I generally tip higher at mom and pop cheap eats spots and tip less at high end restaurants where the average table is tipping $50+
