Here we go again with another brilliant progressive solution that defies basic economics! A new San Francisco study just confirmed what anyone with common sense already knew: building more expensive housing won't magically make housing affordable. We're diving into how the "Yes In My Backyard" crowd's grand plan to solve the housing crisis with $750,000 cereal box apartments is about as effective as using a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound. When your base construction cost is three-quarters of a million dollars per unit—thanks to layers of bureaucratic red tape, sky-high labor costs, and environmental virtue signaling—how exactly does building MORE of these overpriced boxes bring prices down? The study reveals that even in the best-case scenario, all this "affordable" housing would drop rents by a whopping $125 per month. So instead of paying $3,000 for your shoebox apartment, you'd pay $2,875. What a deal! Meanwhile, taxpayers foot the bill for this economic fantasy while developers laugh all the way to the bank. Is this really the housing solution progressives have been pushing, or just another way to funnel public money to private developers? What do you think will happen when reality finally hits these policy makers? Like and subscribe if you're tired of watching your tax dollars fund these expensive experiments in economic ignorance!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
