On The Black Millionaires Of Occupy Wall Street
@sigerson What the hell? I study housing policy for a living, and there's a lot of bullshit going on there, but I'm having a hard time believing that pre-civil rights real estate provision has anything to do with black hip-hop and bling.
The truth is, every poor (usually darker) minority across the globe has the bling thing. Gypsies in Romania, Chechens in Russia, blacks in Brazil, poor Mexican immigrants in the US, etc. Hell, even Native Americans had it. I'm not going to pretend to be able to explain it with certainty, but I'm pretty sure it's got nothing to do with pre-civil rights era residential covenants.

Of all the urbanist topics, you had to go with landscape urbanism? Even the urbanists don't take those charlatans seriously.

On Seriously, Bro: Frat Rap Needs To Stop
Am I the only one who thinks that "pass out at 3, wake up at 10, go out to eat then do it again" is kinda weak? At first my inner-raver was sure he meant pass out at 3 p.m. and wake up at 10 p.m., but then I realized he's honestly talking about waking up at 10 a.m. as the ideal lifestyle. Really, dude?

...housing costs in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are equal to American cities like Atlanta and Seattle.
So naturally, they want rent control. I guess they'd prefer their housing costs to be closer to those of New York City and San Francisco?
