Mayor’s Office. I used to be interesting here, but now I’m not. Then again, this used to be an interesting place, and now…(gestures wildly with his hands)
Today's news makes my Jets - Red Wings mega-trade even more interesting:
To Detroit:
Connor
Scheifele
Hellebuyck
To Winnipeg:
Cossa
Sandin-Pellikka
Danielson
Kasper
Brandsegg-Nygård
Tell me that's not a fun deal...
Then pair that with this:
To San Jose:
Morrissey
#8 pick
2027 2nd round pick
To Winnipeg:
#2 pick
#20 pick
Igor Chernyshov
Pick Stenberg at #2, and use the $30M in cap room to have fun with UFAs, RFAs, or picking up crappy contracts from other teams in return for picks.
Update: It’s believed St Louis/Buffalo went the distance on Thomas trade talks. Sounds like the Sabres aren’t willing to part with the necessary pieces. (Prospects, Player, 1st). Still teams nibbling, but the Blues are firm in what the return needs to be for the young center.

- regular users of pen and paper
- no superhuman or fancy email
For anyone curious, there is actual data on this. For every 100 new market rate units, nearly 70 units become available to below median income households, 31 of which are in the bottom quintile (!).

New housing is expensive and not affordable to the poor. But the people who can afford to live in the new building vacate their old home, which is affordable.
The affordability benefits of new housing are indirect.
Based on sketches and info I’ve seen, Graham Avenue is going to look super cool in just a few weeks.
