It would be trivially easy for Congress to say, "we're withholding as much federal Medicaid money as possibly until CON laws are repealed," and they would all be repealed in an emergency session.

It is shocking that certificate of need (CON) laws exist: they literally let health care incumbents block new competitors from entering the market. If you live in a state with a CON law, tell your governor and state legislators to repeal them!

For months, Pro-Housing Pittsburgh has warned that if Inclusionary Zoning becomes a citywide mandate, it would make it harder to build housing, pushing up rents even higher. On Wednesday, Council passed the Strassburger amendments, which address our concerns.

SB 79 does not apply to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland. Please stop wasting my time with such foolish inquiries.

Reason publishes some of the best reporting on land-use reform out there today. Last Week Tonight getting fussy over outlets blurring the line between news and opinion is pretty rich.

I have much to say about @LastWeekTonight lumping us in with Natl Review & The Federalist & Pod Save & Jacobin as an "opinion-heavy outlet." We are a news outlet that (regardless of our perspective) provides fact-based reporting. Putting us on this list is factually inaccurate.

Had a great chat about my research into US building codes and the perverse incentives that shape them with @ShaneDPhillips and @elpaavo as part of their UCLA Housing Voice podcast. Hope you listen and enjoy! lewis.ucla.edu/2025/10/08/99-…

If your TV's usefulness depended on the local government annually providing roads, water, sewer, parks, education, sidewalks, police, and fire coverage to the TV, you would absolutely pay a tax to keep the TV serviced every year

Ron DeSantis on property taxes: "If I go to Best Buy and buy a TV, I pay a sales tax—but I don’t keep paying taxes on it year after year!"
