  • The loophole:

    The program offers developers a tax subsidy worth potentially millions of dollars in exchange for keeping units affordable and renting them only to . . . households making below 60% of the area median income . . . Rent and income restrictions are supposed to last at least 30 years. But, after just 14 years, property owners may ask their states to find buyers . . . States can only sell at prices set by a formula that almost always overvalues the properties. As a result, buyers are rarely found. If states can’t find buyers within a year, owners are free to raise rents . . .











  • As you’re out hiking with your cat, a lettuce, and a vacuum cleaner, you come upon a river blocking the path. On the side of the river, there’s a boat that’s just big enough for you and one other passenger.

    The cat can’t be left alone with the lettuce.
    The vacuum can’t be left alone with the cat.

    How do you get everyone across?


  • While blowing, some of the fan’s energy is spent on increasing the pressure inside your dishwasher, which increases the density of the air the fan blades move through, increasing drag on the fan blades causing them to move slower and create less airflow.

    While blowing, you’re also pushing moist air to the back of the dishwasher, and after that air reaches 100% relative humidity, it can’t hold any more water and will not help dry your plates. Some of it will eventually escape around the sides, but some of the airflow your fan creates just circulates humid air around the inside of the dishwasher.

    Turning your fan around solved both problems. It increased the volume of air flow, and decreased the relative humidity of the air flow.
