Key Points

Builder sentiment in June dropped 2 points from May to 32 on the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). Anything below 50 is considered negative.

Analysts had been expecting a slight improvement, given recent tariff negotiations and pullbacks by the Trump administration.

This index has only seen a lower reading than June’s level twice since 2012.

No particular favorite meeting. But we have the daddy nest where I make a pit in my legs with a blanket and my 2 boys fight for the real estate to get unlimited pets while we snuggle together. It's my favorite thing.

$5000 a year in tax free daycare ain't shit. These companies want folks to dual income families but everyone is so isolated ND with community that there's no one to step in when mom and dad have to work. My employee asked if he could bring his daughter to work because he has no other options over the summer. A few years ago I was sure I wanted at least 2 kids. I'm now very comfortable stopping where we are.

I love that this time it's because republicans are worried about wild life. Anyone that believes that should really take some time for self reflection

Anyway, analysts apparently don’t think death crosses are as reliable of an indicator as they are sometimes described by chart readers. According to Reuters, about half the time that a death cross appears, it marks the worst point for the index rather than a harbinger of a steeper decline. Regardless, it’s probably fine to taunt Tesla-maxxers with this news if you want an easy laugh.

American here. I'd love it but train plans often fail because most US cities have garbage tier options after you get off the train. We need busses that run on time, protected bike lines (not just paint on a 55mph road), and many other alternatives to help make trains more viable. Places where you see trains and light rail in the US often have good alternatives for connecting citizens to those train routes other than cars.

I used to reverse commute in Chicago to my car in the burbs. I still needed the car because ordering Uber and being on time for work every day was not a good alternative and it would have been a 10 MI bike ride after an hour long train ride every day.

My body is ready for trains. I hate airports. However, most people don't want them until they have one. LA is the most recent example I can think of this.

 

Arliya Martin accepted her high school diploma with relief and gratitude. It was her ticket to better-paying work, she felt, after getting kicked out of high school and toiling for eight years at factory jobs to support her children.

“This is a new path for me to get on with my life,” she said.

But Martin didn’t take any classes or pass any tests to receive her degree. She got it in July from a school where students can get a high school diploma for $465.

Unlike public schools, formal homeschooling programs or traditional private schools, nearly 9,000 private schools in Louisiana don’t need state approval to grant degrees. Nearly every one of those unapproved schools was created to serve a single homeschooling family, but some have buildings, classrooms, teachers and dozens of students.

 

A wonderful downtown pedestrian area has been ruined because a few people didn't like the noise.
