Read our praise for @GovGianforte's commission on land use--and our call to execute on those reforms.
YIMBY reform isn't just for coastal states--across the mountain west, purple & red states are newly on the front lines of housing scarcity.
Montana can lead the way:

NEW from @JackKrone, @AWJustus, and @aarmlovi: Montana is taking a critical first step in addressing its housing shortage: acknowledging that the problem is not with demand but with constraints on supply. https://t.co/z2LTTC8ipp

This is huge:
After taking office, Biden quickly ordered stronger defenses against Chinese espionage. This action by Biden is how he was able to detect spy balloons while Trump was not. This is also why Trump missed the balloons. (@ZekeJMiller) apnews.com/article/biden-…

@Noahpinion This excerpt is from a story today in the LA Times. Two green projects, a solar power plant and a high speed rail line, are possibly in danger because conservationists don't want the project. Regulations are the next hurdle for solar panels.

The paper by Blinder on hard/soft landings with Fed tightening is very timely. Using some reasonable definitions, the Fed has achieved "soft landings" about half the time (or more) since 1965

Big announcement from us, @housingdefense, and Californians for Homeownership 👏
12 lawsuits so far, with more to come. Cities have had plenty of time to plan for housing. It’s time to hold them accountable.

A Chinese spy balloon that crashed off the Hawaiian islands last June also yielded helpful information, including about the nature of the technology China is using, they said.
The Washington Post @washingtonpost
Exclusive: Chinese balloon is part of a vast aerial surveillance program run by the People’s Liberation Army. The spy balloon effort operates in Hainan province off China’s south coast and has for years collected military intelligence, U.S. officials said. https://t.co/R2LsRLD9GH

“Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin said the inclusionary program changes could be a major part of how the city frees up tens of thousands of housing units that have already been approved but are not actually being built yet.”
Incredible.
