The astonishing gap between America’s fastest- and slowest-building cities (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It shouldn’t take five years to build an apartment building. The Soviet Union famously churned out tens of thousands of new apartment buildings in the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s — some assembled in as little as 12 days — together comprising tens of millions of individual apartments. Such speed is not unique to communist command economies, or even to grim concrete mega-blocks. In Sweden and Japan today, modern, high-quality new homes can be factory-built and assembled in a matter of weeks using the sa
Where did all the vegan restaurants go? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
And what does it mean for the plant-based movement? My favorite restaurant, here in Madison, Wisconsin, closed this week. It was not my favorite because it had the greatest food I’d ever had, nor the most memorable ambiance. But I loved the Mad Rabbit Cafe because it had become my anchor in the neighborhood — it felt like home to me and a core group of friends as surely as the century-old houses lining the surrounding city blocks. Most importantly, it was entirely vegan — a rarity in this city,
The people who fear AI are wasting time fighting each other (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The AI risk debate has become pointlessly tribal. There’s a way out. Everyone is suddenly freaking out about AI. While AI researchers have been warning about their creations’ capabilities for many years, recent events have made those alarms newly tangible. In the spring, Anthropic announced that AI was beginning to speed up the work of building better AIs, raising fears of “recursive self-improvement,” where the machines can build their own, more powerful successors much faster than humans can.

What can we learn from the European cities Americans love to visit? Maybe you’ve heard this unkind old joke about American culture: We will pay a small fortune to amble through the cobblestone streets of Rome and Paris, or even the ersatz Main Street in Disneyland. Then we’ll return to our suburban homes and two-car garages, and swear that a place like that could never work here. There’s a sad truth to this. In cities and suburbs across the country, a vocal contingent of Americans devote themse
YIMBYism meets its biggest challenge yet: A wildfire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wildfires leveled thousands of homes in California. Now the state could block even more from being built. A natural disaster can do in one day what decades of public zoning fights cannot: Erase entire neighborhoods and force thousands of decisions, all at once, about what will replace them. That’s the question now — still — hanging over Altadena, the Pacific Palisades, and other Los Angeles-area communities that burned in the catastrophic January 2025 wildfires. More than a year and a half late
