Happy to see a modern article on my favorite historical #housing reform: the great 1920 #AlSmith law of #NYC , which supported the creation of the many 1920s homes that are still popular there, though terribly pricey today https://thedailyrenter.com/2025/01/24/how-a-small-georgist-reform-saved-newyork-city-al-smiths-1920-property-tax-reform/ #Georgism #TaxReform

"It is tragic that the guest of honor this year will be someone whose personal example and policy wishes are in a collision course with the principles of Catholic social teaching."
-
"The real outrage is that Trump, given the public nature and extent of his repulsive record, should be invited to a fundraiser for an organization, Catholic Charities, that has long worked in the trenches to save and transform lives on society's farthest margins."
~ National Catholic Reporter
-
"The people running the dinner thought they were using Trump to raise money for Catholic Charities. The reality is that he was using them to normalize his authoritarian project."
-
"His presence at the Al Smith dinner last night turned the event itself into kabuki theater, in which everyone participating pretended that the man who attempted a coup, says he wants to be a dictator, calls his opponents 'vermin' and 'the enemy within,' and has raised the possibility of using the military against American citizens is normal."
-
"And this on the same day that the Archdiocese of Los Angeles agrees to pay $880 million to victims of clergy sexual abuse. As in all things, the most important element in all comedy is timing."
-
"When the scandal hit there, Dolan transferred $57 million worth of assets off the archdiocese’s books and into a cemetery trust fund where it would be sheltered from the lawsuits coming down the tracks. …
So it couldn’t have been a surprise when Dolan sat next to El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago, yucking it up as the adjudicated criminal dropped a multi-megaton bomb at the Al Smith Dinner in New York."
-
"As a parish priest at the Church of the Immaculata outside St, Louis, he shared a pulpit with Fr. LeRoy Valentine, who is alleged to have abused boys for years before the Church took any action at all, shining on survivors who came to it. According to survivors who came forward, Dolan claimed to know nothing about the man with whom he served at Immaculata. He climbed the greasy chain of command until he was archbishop of Milwaukee."
-
"Of all the American princes of the Church, outside of that ridiculous popinjay Raymond Burke, Dolan is among the most insufferable. He plays the jocular, backslapping Irishman while his rap sheet on burying the ongoing sexual-abuse scandal is one of the longest of all his fellow members of the Clan of the Red Hat."
~ Charles Pierce
