"Americans have an estimated 2 billion parking spots for 280 million cars. In the midst of an epic housing shortage and affordability crisis, we have an average of 1,000 square feet of parking per car — but only 800 square feet of housing per person"

New from @WSJ: Ken Paxton partied on New Year's Eve in Dubai with two men on the run from the feds. Story by @efindell @MarkMaremont @jdawsey1.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day.
And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.
Driverless fail, @Tesla #robotaxi holding up single lane on Barton Springs Rd outside @aclfestival. We still need humans for events like this. @lyft @uber #driverless #rideshare
Your move @MichaelDell. Don’t let this record stand for too long.

I spent 25 years as an oil and gas engineer. Bo French spent Sunday morning sorting our student section by skin color.
Greg Abbott said Bo French would "wreck" our oil and gas industry. A man who can’t tell a Longhorn from a foreigner has no business regulating anything in TX.
The year that @flocksafety is having reminds me of @Uber in 2017. LPR is big, but maybe too big a wave for a startup to surf. This is a Prometheus moment, and I hope @glangley and team can figure it out.

David Maxwell, the former top cop under Attorney General Ken Paxton, has endorsed James Talarico, for U.S. Senate.
Maxwell was among the attorney general officials who reported Paxton to the FBI and later testified at his impeachment trial. bit.ly/4h0kfdr
Week 1 should be an away game in a better climate. Clearly @USC can offer half their tickets to a big @SEC team, or pick any big school up north, and they can come play in Texas when it’s cold there and perfect here.
Maybe it’s not popular, but this will get worse.

You're either against this stupid bullshit or you're not a real Texan
There's nothing in the middle
The new @dallasmavs stadium location really sums up American city planning. Even the cities that have rail are committed to not supporting it. Clearly the Mavs owners want parking revenue, but at what cost? @dartmedia can’t catch a break.
The lengths @Tesla has gone to make this a smooth design doesn’t make sense if it’s relying on hardware to “see” the world around it. I would rather ride in an AV covered in lidar, cameras, and any tech that will help the machine drive itself. I like the 2 seat coupe though

Truly, literally, every single business in rural Terlingua, TX is speaking out against the Big Bend border wall in a universally nonpartisan manner with everything they’ve got. One coffee shop built a massive replica wall with a canoe on top saying “STOP THE STEEL.”
There’s so much that @keds_economist gets right about housing. On the topic of more middle income housing, I wish they had discussed city rules that force everyone to have two yards and more parking than they need.
The problem of housing affordability is much bigger than insufficient supply, says @keds_economist — it’s a mismatch with demand (via @opinion) bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Stoked for this launch @americanhousing
For a half-century, America has critically under-built family-sized housing in our most dynamic cities and neighborhoods, rendering them childless and unaffordable.
It's time to save the American Dream.

It’s interesting to hear ads for @SierraClub on @ezraklein show, given their recent NIMBY record and his Abundance campaign.
Maybe the swing states from the last election should be the first primaries. Has this never been proposed? I feel like @ezraklein or @NateSilver538 would have said something by now. Iowa going early makes less sense every election cycle. @ABC graphic
Took @Uber to & from downtown Austin last week (thanks @DowntownATXInfo). Ride there smelled like cigarette smoke and driver was looking down at an iPad in his lap. Ride home was @Waymo 🤩 It feels like the early days again, unlocking a new service that will change things forever
Sorry @jimfarley98, still rooting for @Ford, but we can’t see the forest for the trees if we’re still talking about emissions while China is dominating with EVs
