36% of new “luxury apartments” (aka market-rate) in Greater DC are rented at prices affordable to HUD-defined low income households (60% AMI).
https://www.metroabundance.org/how-inclusionary-are-market-rate-rentals/
75% are affordable to "moderate income" households (80% AMI).
95% are affordable to "middle income" households (120% AMI).
New market-rate multifamily #housing is the housing our workforce needs and can afford. Quit banning it from most residential land.

I have a weak spot for flowers visible from space. Here are some recent ones I found:

Purple jacaranda trees in Pretoria, South Africa

Pink tajibo trees in eastern Bolivia

Tulips (and probably other flowers too) near Hillegom, The Netherlands

For #WorldTapirDay my #linocut Malayan tapirs, adult and baby. There are four types of tapir; this linocut is of both an adult and baby Malayan tapir. Tapirs always look very dapper, if improbable, in their black and white coat. The adults with their white saddles look like an aardvark crossed with an elephant, wearing a tuxedo. The babies have a delightful pattern of spots and stripes, and 🧵1/n

Okay, tech vocabulary time:

A "Widget" is any UI element

The way to develop a widget it to sit down, uncomfortably: this will give you a Widgey. Then, develop functionality by working in slugs - sample versions of the real data you'll be working with. That should evolve your prototype to a Widgeotto. Once you've got to there, it's not long before you've got a fully evolved Widget, at which point your app will really be Flying.
