Not only is it inefficient for affordable housing developers to scrounge for many sources of funding, it makes projects much more expensive — which means less housing. Every new funding source increases per-unit costs by $6k plus we found last year. latimes.com/homeless-housi…

Goetz: Today it takes nonprofit developers 8 to 10 different revenue and funding sources to finance a unit of affordable housing. That's not efficient.

Gonna keep retweeting this paper til you believe it

The Illusory Truth Effect is a key to understanding the impact of social media.
If you see something repeated enough times, it seems true. A new paper shows it works on 85% of people. Other work shows that this happens even if the idea isn't plausible & even if you know better! https://t.co/2ZGAsAUN9F

Manchin says he offered to quit the Democratic Party (but keep caucusing with them) as a favor (?) for them and their messaging (?)

My actual not-shitpost take on having created this silly little thread is: if you keep asking the same question with subtly different wordings, you can get whatever kind of answer you want.
(The comparison to corporate legal departments is left as an exercise to the reader.)

It's just so insulting to claim that Black people, Asian people, etc. don't engage in intellectual debate or value rigor.
I know the people saying these things think they're being anti-racist, but this is actually racist.

Best way for Biden to turn things around would be to buy Greenland.
