Eye-opening stats at end of this @kirkpinhoCDB piece (which should be a whole story of their own): Downtown Detroit has 4500 residential units Cincinnati 18000 Baltimore 15000 Cleveland 12400 Columbus 11000

Less than half of downtown Detroit office workers have returned to their desks. Is there a model where the city doesn't need them? ow.ly/MLMr50KHf5j

Enjoyed this but it also made me get back on twitter just to say: TIME, and especially "Syntax Era", is great and it sounds to me like everyone's feelings ( + maybe the weird cover art?) got in the way of them understanding what a gem they had on their hands.

#brennanlive For much of American history, we increased the size of the House fairly frequently. Why did we stop, and would increasing it again help with equitable representation?

TY @GovWhitmer for extending the #eviction moratorium and helping so many in #Michigan facing financial hardship due to #COVID19 stay in their homes. We look forward to working with you and #mileg to protect tenants further once the moratorium is lifted. drive.google.com/file/d/1FLA_uS…
