    NIMBYs everywhere believe that ā€œbeing included in the decision making processā€ means getting their way, and that any process that does not produce the results they wanted is unfair and illegitimate.

    "There was a process that occurred and many people felt they were left out from the decision process," Van Doorn said."... I thought that was really unfair. It's not just the nine plaintiffs who are involved. There are hundreds and hundreds of people behind us who are supporting not having the city ordinance as it's drafted."

    rich nimbys in charlottesville lost the political debate over zoning, leveraged the legal system to try to stop it, and are going to lose the political debate again for the simple reason that the voters of cville support zoning reform and have elected a city council that intends to see it through

    One of the plaintiffs in the White vs. Charlottesville zoning lawsuit laid out the reasons for the action against the city.

    Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

    The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administrationā€™s failures.

    Novo Nordiskā€™s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but letā€™s not forget.

    Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make.

    The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.

    Novo Nordisk A/S is slashing the cost of Ozempic for cash-paying patients after the diabetes shot became the poster child for high US drug prices.

    Wow, they actually are going to use the Epstein files to distract from the Putin disaster. Sometimes jokes come true.

    Trumpā€™s meeting with Putin on Ukraine was a disaster. No deal, total embarrassment. And whatā€™s his takeaway? Unconstitutionally attacking mail-in voting at home because Putin says itā€™s bad. Trump isnā€™t leading, heā€™s getting played.

    President Trump pledged to eliminate mail-in voting and the use of voting machines following a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    Donald Trump shut down Congress to keep them from demanding the release of the Epstein Files, then militarily invaded DC for no reason and then launched an attack on mail-in voting based on a suggestion form Putinā€¦and Republicans in Congress went along with all of it!

    It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do itā€¦ but that is literally Trumpā€™s account of what happened.
