Gearing up to drop a lot of dough this Black Friday? Don't let this ubiquitous tactic dupe you into dodgy discounts!
I looked into the data behind the "crossed-out" price.

I'm launching something for us. Not-Ship: a newsletter using data and visuals to navigate our turbulent world.
Everything feels like A LOT lately. And the way I try to make sense of things is with data. So, come chart the chaos with me.

NEW: Townhouses are booming in the US as Americans are desperate for more affordable -- and low-maintenance -- housing options.
-Townhome starts are the highest since 2006
-They're "middle density" housing that is sorely needed in many suburbs
-In major metro areas, townhomes cost ~$100k to $250k less to buy than single-family homes
Townhouses can't solve all the US housing woes, but they are helping a lot in communities smart enough to encourage them.

Full story here w/ the great @AShendruk
Should the new American Dream be a townhouse?
In a lot of communities, townhouses are the most affordable option that can actually get built (there's still a lot of opposition to "high rises" in many parts of the US)

Forget the suburbs. The new American Dream should be a townhome!
Had a great time working with @byHeatherLong on this piece. And I got to have a bit of fun with isometric buildings!

Honestly, roses aren't that great. They're also terrible for the planet. #ValentinesDay

Had a blast working with @stevebrodner on this piece. A lot of research, a lot of data collection, and a fun challenge to take a traditionally print-focused style of illustration and figure out a way to make it work online!

The effects of climate change are not experienced uniformly. In the US, some of the hottest communities are to those singled out by 1930s redlining policies. Michael Krisch @BrownInstitute has created an incredible map to make these relationships clear. heat.brown.columbia.edu

"I worry that a hopeful outlook is a slippery slope to complacency. I struggle with my own competing convictions — a cynical view that those in power won’t act quickly enough and a counter-belief that optimism might be the most effective way to advance solutions... [1/2]
