    A Plan to Pay Married Mothers Not to Work (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The parents of young kids don’t have it easy in the United States. The country doesn’t have mandatory paid parental leave. It does not send out a child allowance. It doesn’t offer universal prekindergarten or provide day-care subsidies to all families in need. For the first five years of their kid’s life, parents are mostly left to figure it out on their own, negotiating a complex patchwork of federal, state, and local initiatives and spending far more than they can afford on diapers, formula, n

    The Property-Tax Revolution (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The United States is in the throes of the largest tax revolt in a generation, and the revolutionaries are winning. Since 2020, nationwide home values have climbed roughly 50 percent, leading property-tax bills to increase 19 percent and contributing to a 71 percent increase in the cost of homeowner’s insurance. At the same time, the price of gas, utilities, food, and everything else has risen, stamping out entrepreneurship, dimming the fertility rate, and making even six-figure earners feel fina

    Read excerpt

    If you were trying to identify the spiciest policy affecting the fewest Americans, you’d struggle to do better than New York City’s pied-à-terre tax. This spring, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul agreed on a plan to target extremely valuable homes. As of this fiscal year, homeowners will have to pay up to 6.5 percent tax on condos and co-ops assessed at more than $1 million; and up to 1.3 percent on multifamily houses assessed at more than $5 million. The out-of-town owners of a $1

Marcella Patino was hunched over a table at the South Salt Lake Community Center, her pizza getting cold and her nerves fraying. Patino is a single mom with three kids, and kid­like in her own way, tiny and sweet-voiced. When I met her, in the summer of 2024, she was 33 years old and earning $300 a week doing manicures and pedicures. To bump up her income, she had recently gotten a degree from aesthetician

    Are Raccoons Evolving Into Pets? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    At 10 p.m. in early July, Long Island was sweltering under a heat dome. As bedroom lights dimmed and heavy clouds rolled in, a raccoon ambled onto the porch of a split-level home, found a crack in a sliding door, and slipped inside. He tongue-polished a lasagna tray on the floor near the kitchen counter before waddling back into the damp fug of the summer night. Soon after, a raccoon with a facial scar and a thin tail entered, ate a snack, and flopped down for a nap. Next, a pair of juvenile rac
