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

The GOP’s farm-state problem just got worse. On most fronts, President Donald Trump has shown little concern for reducing Americans’ cost of living ahead of November’s midterms.

What we learned from the first day of the Republican convention in Dallas. Welcome to The Midterms, Actually. Every week I’ll be writing about two things: one big idea or trend I see forming across the 2026 primaries, and one thing I’m hearing from a voice on the ground. You can sign up here to get it in your inbox every week. Let’s get into it. The first-of-its-kind Republican midterms convention began in the same vein as President Donald Trump’s second term: open grift. The president announced
