“Our current housing crisis is not an aberration to be remedied with policies intended to return us to a hypothetically functional market. It is the function of the market: the inevitable outcome of a system that places profits ahead of people.” Read the piece

Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
