This from my second annual Halloween article. Check out this one and the others: collegetowns.org/p/defending…
Defending Derision of Trunk-or-Treat Halloween

Defending Derision of Trunk-or-Treat Halloween

Developer Sean Burton says Los Angeles is delaying SB 79, the state law that allows more homes near transit, until about 2030. He says the delay, plus its transfer tax, steers builders elsewhere. LA has permitted just 81,306 homes toward a goal of 456,643.

Spotted a job ad at Johns Hopkins that disclosed that AI would be used in screening. While I do not like this trend, I apperciate the transparency.

Dorms don’t have to be hideously ugly nor astronomically expensive. Here’s an example of new construction from Université Cheikh Anta Diop in Dakar, Senegal. Simple yet refined.
