Somehow missed this. It’s not just Manhattan: Queens, with 47.5% foreign born, is the 4th-safest large county in America bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

I sleep so so great at night knowing I’m leveraged to the hilt at a historically low, fixed rate, that lets me spend money on other things while building equity in a severely supply constrained asset I use and enjoy every day!

Remarkable from UCL finding that 8 million more people would be alive if we'd started COVID vaccination within 100 days. Pandemics throw this dynamic into relief, but the same situation exists for all high-burden diseases. See @JacobTref on the malaria vaccine rollout.

Congressman Torres: totally with you, but it’s critical to know that even if you reduced construction costs by 50% through automation, the cost to build in NYC is actually rate-limited by severe regulatory constraints, which drive up land values and slow down projects.
