I went through the popular videos among archive.org's remix contest for Public Domain Day (which was 11 months ago; I'm looking at it because I may want to make a contribution to the next one) These are the two best ones for me. Read the text description first, the context really helps.

The healthiest thing we can do for the internet is get as many regular users as possible running their own websites. You could buy a domain and such, but a super easy starting point is to get a free subdomain of neocities.org, which is like geocities but existing now.

The idea that new market-rate housing increases demand for income-restricted units, therefore warranting mitigation by an impact fee to fund affordable units, rests on three separate propositions -- all critical. At least two, maybe all three, are patently false. 1/5
Since the Supreme Court ruling on Sheetz in September there has been speculation on how it would hit impact fees in other cities. I recently received word from one of my clients that they have prevailed against Oakland and had inclusionary impact fees waived. Big changes coming to a city near you.
