It couldn't get 50 votes in the Senate, so they stripped out lots of the provisions and passed a more focused version of it, called the Inflation Reduction Act!

Two weeks ago, our Director of City Planning shockingly denied the accepted fact that housing abundance drives affordability - ignoring hoards of academic research and empirical evidence. Here's a good video explaining why he's wrong --> youtu.be/EQGQU0T6NBc

Mark my words, at some point in the future Colin will also try to tell city residents why we should pay for a new stadium for him.

Don't miss #1 Pitt Volleyball vs #3 Penn State at the Pete Wednesday night at 7pm or on ACCN! Should be an epic matchup. Come out to the game, you won't be disappointed. Preview here: open.spotify.com/episode/0Gysgg…

This is an important thing for folks to understand. We build vanishingly little in Pittsburgh right now - 50% less than Cleveland and about on par with places like Harrisburg (which are 1/5 our size). Rents increase as a result of building too little, not too much.

#Pitt QB Eli Holstein said that almost the entire football team is going to the volleyball game vs. Penn State tonight "They're dominant, they're the best team on campus. We're trying to get like that."

"For decades, thanks to restrictive zoning laws and increasing construction costs, we simply haven’t built enough new housing... Housing is a human right." - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Japan (125 million) built 559,000 multi-family homes in 2023. Japan's population shrank by 0.53% that year. The United States (343 million) built 468,000 multi-family homes in 2023. The US's population grew by 0.56% that year. This country is embarrassing.

Mitchell Nagy 🇺🇸 It's amazing how hostile this city is to new housing developments. We do not have an over abundance of housing in the popular areas close to Downtown and Oakland here!
