The town, which opened its first ski lift in the mid-1940s, was already hosting some of the largest ski events, operating four ski resorts, and attracting celebrity clientele.Today, however, Big Sky is giving Aspen a run for its money — it's now the third-largest ski area in America.Alongside celebrities like <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-bill-gates-ai-concerns-2024-9">Bill Gates</a> and Tom Brady, some of the world's <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/aman-club-private-members-club-nyc-photo-tour-2024-2">most exclusive private communities</a> and hotel properties have caught on to the allure of the small Montana town. As an avid skier myself, I went to Big Sky to see how its rugged luxury quickly became such a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/secrets-for-traveling-like-rich-from-luxury-travel-planner">magnet for the rich and famous</a>.<h2 id="e68f1aa5-0321-44c8-a3f4-3bcbea944470">Good powder attracts capital</h2><div type="image" title="moon rising behind a mountain peak at big sky resort in montana" height="2160" width="2880" msid="114956603" hostid="261" sizebytes="177486"></div>As A-listers followed the trend to Big Sky — amplified by the millionaire celebrities who frequented Yellowstone Club, the ski area's hyper-exclusive private resort — the ski area invested more into its on- and off-slope offerings.For example, when Big Sky opened its slopes in 1973, it had four lifts and fewer than 20 trails. On my recent three-day visit, I couldn't even get to half of the 39 lifts in operation and only touched a fraction of the 300-plus ski runs.As I made my way up different sides of the mountain, I marveled at the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/death-of-snow-america-midwest-warm-winter-skiing-climate-change-2024-2">advanced snowmaking techniques</a> and snazzy eight-seater lifts.

But Big Sky has successfully elbowed its way into the club.I saw firsthand what happens when businesses bring their luxury concepts to the slopes — in Big Sky's case, they've fostered improvements that are outpacing the national competition. The ski area offered some of the best and least crowded terrain I've ever ridden in the States.Plus, Big Sky isn't done expanding.The area announced its Big Sky 2025 project in 2016. Even though we're quickly approaching the original completion year, a number of elevating expansions are still in the works — including a second eight-seater lift, a new gondola, and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/peru-luxury-hotel-side-of-mountain-worth-it-photos-2023">on-mountain dining options</a>.As such, Big Sky may just become the place where the rich and famous choose to play in the winter.

The IPL 2025 Mega Auction promises to deliver high-stakes action, with marquee players and strategic manoeuvres set to enthral cricket fans. A total of 12 marquee players, including Indian stars like Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul have created a lot of buzz within the cricket fraternity. A total of 574 players have been shortlisted from an initial pool of 1,574 names. These players will go under the hammer from November 24-25 in Jeddah. The list includes 208 overseas players, 12 uncapped overseas talents, and 318 uncapped Indian players, according to Wisden. Here is a look at all the marquee players who will be going under the hammer: Jos Buttler (England) Buttler is one of finest white-ball batters of this generation, with 11,929 runs, eight centuries and 83 fifties to his name in 427 T20s. A T20 World Cup-winning captain for England, Buttler made a name for himself in the IPL during his stint with Rajasthan Royals (RR) from 2018 to 2024. For RR since 2018, Buttler scored 3,055 runs at an average of 41.84 and a strike rate of 147.79, with 7 centuries and 18 fifties. His best score was 124. He is the team's third-highest run-getter of all time. The IPL 2022, in which RR finished as runners-up, was the zenith of Buttler's career, as he ended up on the top of run-scoring charts, with 863 runs in 17 matches at an average of 57.53 and a strike rate of over 149, with four centuries and four fifties. His best score was 116. In the last season, Buttler scored 359 runs in 11 matches at an average of 39.88, with two centuries. Buttler also represented Mumbai Indians (MI) from 2016-17, scoring 527 runs in 24 matches with one half-century. He won the title with them in 2017. Shreyas Iyer (<keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="keywords">India</keyword>) Iyer has played all formats for India, proving his mettle mostly in ODI cricket, where he averages 47 and has scored five centuries and 18 fifties in 57 ODIs. In 51 T20Is for India, Iyer has scored 1,104 runs at an average of 30.66 and a strike rate of over 136, with eight half-centuries and best score of 74*. During his time with Delhi Capitals (2015-21), he earned a reputation as a fierce young leader, taking DC to finals in 2021. After joining Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022, Iyer went one step further and won the franchise its third IPL title, its first in 10 years, this year. Throughout the season, Iyer along with mentor Gautam Gambhir, led the team's aggressive, high-scoring brand of cricket from the front. In his IPL career, Iyer has scored 2,375 runs at an average of 31.67, with a strike rate of 123.96 and 16 half-centuries. His best score is 96. In his last season for KKR, he scored 351 runs in 15 matches at an average of 39.00 and a strike rate of over 146, making two fifties. Rishabh Pant (India) The swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter is an all-format for India and a livewire on the field. Having proven himself as a man for big stages in Test cricket, Pant's T20 game is just as solid. Though he has scored 1,209 runs in 76 T20Is at an underwhelming average of 23.25, strike rate of almost 128 and just three fifties, his overall T20 numbers are way better, having made 5,022 runs in 202 matches at an average of 31.78, strike rate of over 145, with two centuries and 25 fifties. Pant has represented Delhi Capitals (DC) for his entire IPL career since 2016, scoring 3,284 runs in 110 matches at an average of 35.31, with a century and 18 fifties. He was appointed as the team's captain in 2021 and led them to playoffs in the same season. During this last season, which marked his return from competitive cricket after a serious road accident in 2022-end, Pant scored 446 runs in 13 matches at an average of 40.54 and a strike rate of 155.40, with three fifties and best score of 88*. He was the leading run-scorer for DC. Kagiso Rabada (South Africa) The South African pacer is among the best in the world, having taken 71 wickets in 65 T20Is. He is the part of the SA team which reached the T20 World Cup finals this year and took 13 wickets in nine matches. Rabada has played T20 leagues and competitions worldwide and taken 264 scalps in 211 matches. In the IPL, Rabada has represented Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings, having taken 117 wickets in 80 matches. With PBKS from 2022-2024, he took 41 wickets in 30 matches while with DC from 2017-2021, he took 76 wickets in 50 matches. In 11 matches last season for Punjab Kings, he took 11 wickets at an average of 33.81. Arshdeep Singh (India) A brilliant left-arm pacer for his swing and wicket-taking abilities, Arshdeep has represented India in 59 T20Is and has already taken 92 wickets at an average of 18.47, making him the most successful pacer for India in T20Is and their second-highest wicket-taker of all-time despite debuting only in 2022. The youngster was a crucial part of India's T20 WC winning squad this year and was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 17 wickets in eight matches at an average of 12.47. Since 2019, the year of his IPL debut, Arshdeep has represented the Punjab Kings in 65 matches, taking 76 wickets at an average of 27.00 and best figures of 5/32. The season this year was his strongest-ever showing, taking 19 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 26.58. Mitchell Starc (Australia) A multi-time world champion with Australia across all formats, Starc is considered as one of the deadliest pacers of this era, having taken 681 wickets in 281 matches. In 65 T20Is for Australia, he has taken 79 wickets at an average of 23.81. in 142 T20Is played worldwide, he has taken 193 wickets at an average of 20.59 and best figures of 4/15. After two seasons with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) from 2014-15, Starc made his IPL return this year as the most expensive player ever, brought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for Rs 24.75 crores. Though he delivered mixed returns during the league stage, the 'Big Match Starc' came into play during playoffs, delivering outstanding spells of 3/34 and 2/14 against <keyword id="19959099" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sunrisers-hyderabad" source="keywords">Sunrisers Hyderabad</keyword> (SRH) in the Qualifier 1 and final. He ended the season with 17 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 26.12 including a four-wicket haul. So far in his IPL career, Starc has taken 51 wickets in 41 matches. Yuzvendra Chahal (India) The Indian spin veteran is the chart-topping bowler, owning the most wickets by an Indian in T20is and by any bowler in the IPL. In the IPL, Chahal has taken 205 wickets in 160 matches at an average of 22.44, with best figures of 5/40. In 80 T20Is he has taken 96 wickets at an average of 25.09 with best figures of 6/25.

Chahal remains the leading wicket-taker for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), even after departing in 2021 following a tenure that began in 2014. In 113 matches for RCB, he took 139 wickets at an average of 22.03, with a best of 4/25. Since joining Rajasthan Royals (RR) in 2022, Chahal has helped the team reach the playoffs twice in three seasons. He is also the leading wicket-taker in IPL history, amassing 205 wickets in 160 matches at an average of 22.44, with a best of 5/44.

During the 2024 season, he took 18 wickets in 15 matches at an average of 30.33. Liam Livingstone (England) A T20 World Cup-winning all-rounder, Liam has scored 877 runs in 53 T20Is at an average of 27.40 and a strike rate of almost 152, with a century and two fifties. With his useful right-arm spin, he has taken 32 wickets at an average of over 23, with best figures of 3/17. He owns the record for fastest T20I ton by an England player, in just 42 balls. The batting all-rounder has played for Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) since his tournament debut in 2019, scoring 939 runs in 39 matches at a strike rate of 162.46 and six fifties. He has also taken 11 wickets. His best has come with Punjab, who signed him for Rs 11.5 crores ahead of the 2022 season, which proved to be his breakthrough, scoring 437 runs in 14 matches with four fifties and a strike rate of 182.08 and getting six wickets in 14 matches. In the last season, Livingstone scored 111 runs in seven matches at an average of 22.20, striking at over 142 and having the best score of 38*. David Miller (South Africa) An elite T20 finisher, Miller is considered as one of the modern white-ball greats for South Africa. In 128 matches for Proteas, he has made 2,473 runs at an average of 32.54, striking at almost 140, with two centuries and seven fifties. In the IPL, Miller is known for his stints with Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans. His stint with Punjab from 2012-19 made him a valuable IPL commodity, as he enjoyed his peak years from 2013-15, reaching the finals in 2014. After a few years' of underwhelming performances and being benched, GT placed trust in his finishing abilities and he repaid the faith with a 481-run season in 16 matches with two fifties, playing a crucial role in the team's title win in his debut season. Miller is also known for his fine performances in knockout games. In 41 matches for GT, he has scored 950 runs at an average of 45.24, with three fifties in 38 innings and a strike rate of 145.26. In the last season, he scored 210 runs at an average of 35.00 and a strike rate of over 151, with a half-century. KL Rahul (India) A versatile batter for India across all formats.

His best score was 82 and he ended up as seventh-highest run-getter in the season. Mohammed Shami (India) The Indian pace veteran has represented India in all formats, having taken 448 wickets in 188 matches. His finest hour in an Indian jersey came during the 50-over World Cup at home last year, where he emerged as the leading-wicket-taker with 24 wickets in just seven matches and played a crucial role in India's runners-up finish. In IPL, Shami has played for Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans. He has taken 127 wickets in 110 matches at an average of 26.86. Shami was the Purple Cap holder for most wickets in GT's 2023 runners-up season and has taken 48 wickets in 33 matches at an average of 21.04 for the team.

Australian pacer <keyword id="19942566" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Josh-Hazlewood" source="keywords">Josh Hazlewood</keyword> believes India's confidence would have been shaken by the shocking series loss to New Zealand, but the "sleeping giant" can mount a strong comeback in the <keyword id="20534757" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Border-Gavaskar-Trophy" source="keywords">Border-Gavaskar Trophy</keyword> starting later this month. India suffered a humiliating series whitewash after losing the third match by 25 runs to New Zealand in Mumbai on Sunday, the first time in their Test history, which goes back to 1933. "It might awaken a sleeping giant, so to speak. We'll see that when they come out," Hazlewood told 'Sydney Morning Herald'. Not only did the drubbing at home mark one of the darkest moments in India's Test cricket history, it has also significantly impacted the Rohit Sharma-led side's chances of qualifying for next year's <keyword id="19909461" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="World-Test-Championship" source="keywords">World Test Championship</keyword> (WTC) final. Three back-to-back losses meant that India have lost their top spot to Australia in the WTC standings. India are now faced with a tough task to win four of their five matches against Australia to qualify for their third consecutive WTC final without relying on external results. "It's obviously better them losing 3-0 than winning 3-0, easily. The confidence might have taken a bit of a hit. A lot of them have been out here, but there are a few batters who haven't, so they'll be a bit unsure of what to expect," Hazlewood said. "I don't think you can read too much into it. The results are obviously good for us in a way." Hazlewood, who is a part of Australia's three-pronged pace attack along with Mitchell Starc and skipper Pat Cummins, lauded his Trans-Tasman rivals for achieving something no other team has been able to do. "Credit to the Kiwi boys. They played outstanding cricket. To win 3-0 in India is unbelievable. It's hard enough to win one game there, let alone every match of the series," Hazlewood said. Australia are set to host India for a five-match Test series, starting November 22 in Perth. "Everything's falling into place. It's just a huge series. Every time we play India, it's right up there with the Ashes," Hazlewood said. "I think the crowds will be massive. I think the TV ratings could be huge. (There is talk) it could be the biggest ever." Hazlewood, who turned up for Queensland in their Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales, missed the opening ODI against Pakistan on Monday but said he would play the second match on Friday in Adelaide. "I pretty much got out what I needed ... very happy with how I bowled. Body felt surprisingly good. The longer I went, I think the better that I felt, and the rhythm was there," he added.

3-0 drubbing at the hands of NZ might awaken sleeping giant India, feels Hazlewood

The retention lists of all ten franchises for the <keyword id="6354831" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Premier-League" source="Orion">Indian Premier League</keyword> (<keyword id="6354312" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="IPL" source="Orion">IPL</keyword>) season next year were finally unveiled on Thursday, with several big names like Jos Buttler, Aiden Markram, Glenn Maxwell, Faf Du Plessis, KL Rahul, Rishabh <keyword id="19900230" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="pant" source="keywords">Pant</keyword>, <keyword id="19904097" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shreyas-iyer" source="keywords">Shreyas Iyer</keyword> etc being let go by their respective franchises. The surprising retentions and releases by all ten franchises have laid down the foundation for what could be an exciting, fun and record-breaking auction later this year. Let us look at several takeways from the auction: <h2>Several captaincy options available</h2> With the release of IPL winning skipper Shreyas Iyer from Kolkata Knight Riders (<keyword id="19924483" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kkr" source="keywords">KKR</keyword>), Rishabh Pant from Delhi Capitals (DC) and KL Rahul from Lucknow Super Giants, three top-class Indian captaincy options are available. <h2>Auction could be defined by wicketkeepers pulling double/triple duties</h2>The announcement of retention lists have seen many wicketkeeping options being released by their respective franchises, including Pant (from DC), KL (from LSG), Ishan Kishan (from Mumbai Indians) and Jos Buttler (from Rajasthan Royals). With all of them having captaincy experience at various levels, including international <keyword id="1521" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cricket" source="Orion">cricket</keyword> in case of Pant, KL and Buttler, several teams could go after them. Their experience and strong records as wicketkeepers and top-order batters, particularly opening except for Pant, will help teams find a captain, wicketkeeper and an opener in just one player and save them plenty of money. <h2>No English players retained? Could withdrawing/not playing full season be a cause?</h2> No England players have been retained by franchises this team around. Various stars players like Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Harry Brook, Phil Salt, Will Jacks etc have been let go. These players missed out some part of their season due to international commitments, while Harry Brook pulled out due to personal reasons. England batter Jason Roy pulled out of IPL ahead of this season due to personal reasons. These all developments damaged the team balance at times, with several teams dependent on their overseas talent. Has the habit of not honouring contracts and missing matches caused this move? The hammer strikes at auction could answer this question. <h2>Caribbean power trusted ahead of mega auction</h2>Four of current top West Indies stars, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Andre <keyword id="20287010" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="russell" source="keywords">Russell</keyword> and Sunil Narine have been retained by their respective franchises. Pooran has dominated the T20 run charts this year, scoring a record-setting 2,251 runs in 68 matches with a century and 15 fifties at a strike rate of 160.90. Hetmyer is one of the best finishers in T20 circuit and Rajasthan Royals trusts in his abilities. Russell (222 runs in nine matches and 19 wickets) and Narine (488 runs and 17 wickets) have also been reaped rewards for their title winning performances last season and their loyalty to KKR brand. While seven West Indies talents have been released, namely, Shai Hope, Sherfane Rutherford, Kyle Mayers, Shamar Joseph, Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph and Rovman Powell, the four modern-day T20 greats keeping their spots safe with the franchise shows how much trust franchise has in Caribbean power. And who knows, the released names could get brought using right-to-match card or find a new home at a higher price. <h2>Another setback for Ishan Kishan?</h2> Five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) placed their trust in Indian core, consisting of skipper Hardik Pandya, former captain Rohit Sharma, pacer Jasprit Bumrah, 360-degree hitter Suryakumar Yadav and young left-hander Tilak Varma. It was expected that Ishan could retain his place, given his youth and experience with the franchise. Aged just 26, he had spent seven seasons with the franchise and did reasonably well. However, after being brought for Rs 15.25 crores ahead of 2022 season, the price tag seemed to have caught up with Kishan. In next 44 matches for the franchise till the 2024-season-end, Kishan scored 1,192 runs in 43 innings at an average of 28.98, with just seven fifties. While these numbers are not bad, it could be debatable that he did not deliver as per expectations, with 19 scores being below 20. In the 2024 season, he could score just 320 runs at an average of just over 22, with just a fifty to his name. After being excluded from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) central contract this year after not participating for red-ball cricket, this is another big setback for Kishan, who has not been considered for international cricket despite participating and doing well in red-ball tournaments like Buchi Babu Trophy, Duleep Trophy and Ranji Trophy recently. <h2>DC era 2.0 on cards?</h2> With wicketkeeper-batter and biggest superstar of the franchise, Pant released from the franchise and looking for a new franchise as per several media reports, Delhi Capitals could be moving to their 2.0 era, placing trust in young, under-the radar names like Axar Patel (235 runs with two fifties and 11 wickets in 2024), Tristan Stubbs (378 runs with three fifties and three wickets), Abhishek Porel (327 runs with two fifties) and Kuldeep Yadav (16 wickets at an average of 23.25) after good performances last year. Franchise has also released big time stars like David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Anrich Nortje, Prithvi Shaw. Could this be the start of a new era for DC? Only time will tell. <h2>Shreyas Iyer joins unfortunate list of captains</h2>The IPL winning captain Shreyas Iyer has been let go after winning the title for his franchise KKR this year, their first in a decade and overall third. While many argue his batting stats of 351 runs in 14 innings with two fifties at a strike rate of 146.86 could be a reason behind his release, the other half of the story is that the in-form KKR top-order did not leave the middle-order with much to do. His recurring fitness issues, which caused him to miss 2023 season, also could be a reason. Irrespective of what the reason could be, one thing is for sure, Iyer is up there with likes of Adam Gilchrist (released by Deccan Chargers in 2011 after title win in 2009, semifinal finish in 2010), David Warner (released by Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of 2022 season despite 2016 title win and multiple playoff finishes) as one of the most unluckiest captains in IPL. <h2>Strong faith in Indian uncapped/inexperienced stars</h2>The franchises have been extremely bold this time around, opting to release experienced, household Indian/overseas names and placing their trust in several Indian uncapped/inexperienced players. Out of a total of 46 players retained across all franchises, 36 players are Indian. Out of these, 10 players are uncapped Indians stars. These players are Abhishek Porel, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Mohsin Khan, Ayush Badoni, Shashank Singh, Prabhsimran Singh, Yash Dayal. Also, out of other 24 capped Indians, 13 players have played less than 30 international matches and eight have played 10 or less international games for India. Of these 24 uncapped players, no one has all format experience for India and only two have Test cricket experience, Dhruv Jurel and <keyword id="20022019" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rajat-patidar" source="keywords">Rajat Patidar</keyword>. Notably, it is Jurel, who has just played international matches for India, who has received the biggest pay hike, going from Rs 20 lakh this season to Rs 14 crores next season. <h2>End of 'KGF' era for Royal Challengers Bengaluru?</h2> With stars like Faf and Maxwell released, it could spell the end of 'Kohli, Glenn, Faf' (KGF) era for <keyword id="20282652" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rcb" source="keywords">RCB</keyword>, which lasted from 2022-24. During this phase, they all scored heavily for RCB. Despite a lull in 2022 season, Virat scored 1,721 runs in 45 matches and innings at an average of 44.12, with three centuries and 13 fifties. Skipper Faf also scored 1,636 runs in 45 innings at an average of 38.05, with a strike rate of 146.99 and 15 fifties to his name. Maxwell sits at the third spot with 1,266 runs at an average of 28.77 and a strike rate of over 159, with 12 half-centuries in 50 innings. The only player that came closer to the trio was Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik, who made 796 runs in 44 matches and 42 innings at an average of 29.48, with three fifties. If RCB had Virat-AB de Villiers-Chris Gayle in 2010s, KGF dominated the RCB batting numbers in 2020s. When RCB starts rebuilding their side from scratch in the auction, they would have a huge task in hand of finding one or two highly popular, capable and consistent foreign stars to help Virat unleash the carnage in a "Play Bold" avatar. Also, with the Rajat Patidar being retained for 11 crores, RCB might have made it clear that he could be the next big Indian batter the franchise invests in. His exceptional spin abilities have made a lot of difference for the side. Ever since he was brought by the franchise in 2021 for Rs 20 lakh, Patidar has played 27 matches, scoring 799 runs at an average of 34.73 with a strike rate of 158.84 and having registered a century and seven fifties. A complete list of retained players is as follows: <ul><li>Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Matheesha Pathirana, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni</li><li>Delhi Capitals: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abhishek Porel</li><li>Gujarat Titans: Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan</li><li>Kolkata Knight Riders: Rinku Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, Ramandeep Singh</li><li>Lucknow Super Giants: Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Ayush Badoni</li><li>Mumbai Indians: Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma</li><li>Punjab Kings: Shashank Singh, Prabhsimran Singh</li><li>Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Sandeep Sharma</li><li>Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Yash Dayal</li><li>Sunrisers Hyderabad: Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head.</li></ul>

From spotlight on uncapped stars to big releases, a look at key takeways from latest IPL retention lists

Rajasthan Royals (<keyword id="20231226" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="RR" source="keywords">RR</keyword>) batter <keyword id="20106577" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Riyan-Parag" source="keywords">Riyan Parag</keyword> continues his impressive run in the ongoing Indian Premier League (<keyword id="19906063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL" source="keywords">IPL</keyword>), climbing to number three in the list of uncapped players with the most runs in a single season. In the eliminator clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Parag scored a valuable knock of 36 in 26 balls, with two fours and two sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 138.46. In the ongoing season, Parag has scored 567 runs at an average of 56.70 and a strike rate of 151.60. He has hit four half-centuries this season, with the best score of 84*. He is the third-highest run-scorer in the season. The most runs by an uncapped batter in a single IPL season was by RR's <keyword id="19904096" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Yashasvi-Jaiswal" source="keywords">Yashasvi Jaiswal</keyword> in the 2023 season, with 625 runs in 14 games at an average of 48.07 and a strike rate of 163.61. A century and five fifties came out of his bat and his best score was 124. At number two is Australian batter Shaun Marsh, who scored 616 runs in 11 matches in the 2008 season, when he was uncapped, at an average of 68.44 and a strike rate of 139.68, with a century and five fifties. His best score was 115. Parag also has the third most runs for the Royals in a single season. The highest runs in a single season by an RR batter was by Jos Buttler in the 2022 season, when he made 863 runs in 17 games at an average of 57.53 and a strike rate of 149.05, with four centuries and four fifties. His best score was 116. Jaiswal is at the second spot with 625 runs in the 2023 season. Parag also has the second-most runs by a batter batting at number four or below in a single IPL season. At the top is Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper <keyword id="19907058" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rishabh-Pant" source="keywords">Rishabh Pant</keyword>, who scored 579 runs in the 2018 season batting in the middle-order. His overall run-tally that season was 684 runs in 14 matches at an average of 52.61, with a strike rate of 173.60. He scored a century and five fifties that season. Also, Pant scored 105 runs in three innings that season batting at number three. Coming to the match, RR won the toss and elected to bowl first. Almost every RCB batter got a start, but they could not convert them into a big knock. Rajat Patidar (34 in 22 balls, with two fours and two sixes), Virat Kohli (33 in 24 balls, with three fours and a six) and Mahipal Lomror (32 in 17 balls, with two fours and two sixes) emerged as top-scorers, taking RCB to 172/8 in their 20 overs. Avesh Khan (3/44) was the top bowler for RR. Ravichandran Ashwin (2/19) and Trent Boult (1/16) also did a fine job putting brakes on the RCB run rate. In the run-chase, the Royals got off to a fine start, with Yashasvi Jaiswal (45 in 30 balls, with eight fours) and Tom Kohler Cadmore (20 in 15 balls, with four boundaries) putting on a 46-run stand. From then on, RCB bowlers applied some pressure on Rajasthan, restricting the run-flow and getting some wickets. RR was restricted to 112/4 in 13.1 overs. However, Riyan Parag (36 in 26 balls, with two fours and two sixes) held one end before he was dismissed while Shimron Hetmyer (26 in 14 balls, with three fours and a six) and Rovman Powell (16* in eight balls, with two fours and a six) attacked RCB in the last few overs to get a four-wicket win with an over left. Mohammed Siraj (2/33) was the top bowler for RCB. Ashwin took home the 'Player of the Match' award. Now, RR will meet Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in qualifier two on May 24 in Chennai to decide who plays Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the final on May 26.

RR's Riyan Parag continues impressive run; rises in uncapped batter list

Returning to the World Cup Final after three years following the birth of her daughter in December 2022, four-time Olympian Deepika was seeded third in the eight-archer field. She had a smooth run through the semifinals but probably the pressure of gold medal match got to her against fourth-seed Li Jiaman, a team silver medalist from the Paris Olympics. It was Deepika's ninth appearance at the World Cup Final where she has also bagged a bronze. Dola Banerjee is the only Indian archer to have won a gold in the World Cup Final, having topped the podium in Dubai 2007. In the men's recurve section, <keyword id="21003812" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dhiraj-Bommadevara" source="keywords">Dhiraj Bommadevara</keyword>, despite leading 4-2, could not hold off the challenge from South Korea's Paris Olympics bronze medallist, Lee Woo Seok in the opening round and made an early exit . The pressure once again seemed to affect the Indian archers, who have often struggled in high-stakes matches. The five-member Indian contingent, comprising three compound and two recurve archers, thus concluded their season-ending World Cup Final campaign with just one medal. After a stellar semifinal win against Mexico's Alejandra Valencia, Deepika couldn't maintain momentum. She dropped the first set by a single point (26-27). Despite improving in the second set, Li's flawless 30, including an X-ring shot, gave the Chinese archer a commanding a 2-0 lead (30-28). The third set proved decisive as Deepika's second arrow landed in the red 7-ring, allowing Li to claim victory with three solid 9s, taking the set 27-25 and sealing the gold on her debut World Cup Final appearance. In the semifinals, Deepika triumphed over home favourite and Paris Olympics bronze medalist Valencia, edging her out 6-4 (29-28, 26-26, 26-29, 28-28, 28-27). It also avenged Deepika's bronze medal loss to Valencia from the Yecheon World Cup earlier this year. Deepika's campaign had begun with a dominant 6-0 victory over China's Yang Xiaolei (27-23, 29-22, 29-27). In the men's recurve, third-seeded Dhiraj was India's sole qualifier. Facing second seed Lee Woo Seok, Dhiraj started strongly, drawing the first set and winning the second. However, he missed the opportunity to close out the match in the third by just one point with the South Korean drawing level before delivering flawless performances in the fourth and fifth sets. Dhiraj eventually lost 4-6 (28-28, 29-26, 28-28, 26-30, 28-29). On the compound side, the three-member Indian contingent returned empty-handed ending their campaign on Saturday. Prathamesh Fuge finished fourth after a tense semifinal loss, while Priyansh and Jyothi Surekha Vennam failed to reach the medal rounds.

Tom Kean for their first and only debate earlier this month, she brought up <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk">Elon Musk's</a> name six different times.As an incumbent GOP congressman in a battleground district, Kean has been the beneficiary of more than $1.5 million in outside spending from <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-trump-gop-spending-130-million-2024-10">"America PAC,"</a> the super PAC founded and funded by the world's richest man. That spending has gone toward canvassing, text messages, mailers, and even a <a target="_blank" href="https://host2.adimpact.com/admo/viewer/c345bd77-15d7-413f-88ee-206573942468">digital ad</a> that initially mispronounced Kean's name (it's pronounced "cain.")Altman <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/1azSDeY-KPk">said</a> during the debate that "billionaires like Elon Musk" are funding her opponent's campaign.There's "no chance" Musk would be spending money to boost the incumbent GOP congressman, she said, if he was actually "pro-worker." Kean had been avoiding constituents and the press, she said, because he didn't want them to know he shares "Elon Musk's values.""One of the richest men in the world is using his money to basically create a vertical monopoly in our democracy," Altman told Business Insider in an interview, pointing to Musk's spending at both the presidential level and in congressional races. "I think that's a complete bastardization of how our democracy was designed."For Altman, going after Musk is a natural fit. The former executive director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, Altman is a longtime progressive activist who has emphasized the dangers of corporate power and corruption in both her career and her present congressional campaign. Her argument on Musk is two-fold: That his political spending is corrosive to democracy, and that his values are out of step with the voters in New Jersey's 7th district, the kind of upscale, suburban district where Democrats have made gains in the age of Donald Trump."This district is well-educated, it's affluent, these are people who believe in institutions, believe in democracy," Altman said. "These people have a certain high expectation of public service from the people they elect. And Elon Musk has no alignment with those things."In a race where Altman sees women's rights, the economy, and democracy as top issues, Musk provides a solid foil. "I think women find Elon Musk sexist," she says on women's rights. "People in general do not trust billionaires to know what's best for the average person," she says on the economy. "A massive spend by one of the world's richest men is not something that people want to see," she says on democracy.She's also taking advantage of the fact that Kean — the son of a well-known former governor — is relatively averse to public engagement. The congressman has held just one town hall in recent months, and he's gained notoriety for his <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/benhulac/status/1838969363199586375">refusal to engage</a> with reporters. In the absence of a significant presence from Kean, Musk fills the void.Both Musk and Kean's campaign did not respond to a request for comment, while a spokesman for America PAC declined to comment.Altman is hardly the only Democratic candidate who's had to contend with Musk's largesse. In addition to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-trump-gop-spending-130-million-2024-10">spending more than $140 million</a> to elect Trump, America PAC has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-super-pac-spending-competitive-house-races-republicans-2024-9">spent more than $19 million</a> across 18 competitive House districts in an apparent bid to help the GOP remain in control of the lower chamber.She's also not the only Democrat who's gone after Musk as a result of his spending. Future Forward, a super PAC that supports Vice President Kamala Harris, featured footage of Musk at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania in an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCpIZS4vUHg">ad</a> painting the former president as too cozy with other billionaires.In New York's 17th district, former Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones wrote in a <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/MondaireJones/status/1836829353218556364">fundraising post</a> on X that "extreme MAGA billionaires like Musk are desperate" to keep his opponent, Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, in office. And in California's 41st district, Democratic candidate Will Rollins sent a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.politicalemails.org/messages/1584189">fundraising email</a> to supporters saying that "Trump endorser and billionaire conspiracy theorist Elon Musk" is "trying to buy this seat" for his opponent, Republican Rep. Ken Calvert.<div type="image" title="Republican Rep. Tom Kean of New Jersey" height="1401" width="1868" msid="114823442" hostid="261" sizebytes="79010"></div>But Altman has made Musk into a major foe in a way that no other Democrat has, even as some in the party fret that the billionaire entrepreneur, who founded both Tesla and SpaceX, has a certain appeal to some voters. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/s_ZRbQlBQ00">recently likened</a> Musk to Tony Stark from the comic "Iron Man," saying that Musk is a "bigger star than Trump" to voters in places like Scranton."My job is to represent the people of this district, to run a campaign that represents the values of this district, and if I see someone meddling in that, I'm going to call it out," Altman said, defending her approach. "Having lots and lots of money does not equal cool."While Musk may appear "cool" to some voters, Altman and other Democrats are betting that he can be made into the next big boogeyman for Democrats, a role previously occupied by the Koch brothers. Musk has also done plenty to make himself into a boogeyman for the left, including leaning into conspiracy theories about immigration and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/musk-faces-consequences-for-calling-antisemitic-tweet-actual-truth-2023-11">Jews</a> while recently <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/secret-service-elon-musk-investigation-tweet-biden-kamala-assassination-2024-9">wondering aloud</a> why no one had tried to assassinate Harris or President Joe Biden.There's some evidence that the opportunity is ripe to make for Democrats to make Musk into a villain. A September poll from NBC News found that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/elon-musk-popularity-poll-democrat-republican-election-endorsement-rcna172353">just 6% of Democrats</a> had a positive view of the billionaire."Even if somebody admires Elon Musk's contribution to technology — and I still don't even find many of those people — they don't think that means he should extend his power to influencing our elections here at home," said Altman."And by the way, Elon Musk is really creepy," she added, referencing a <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1833728804579111268">recent post</a> in which Musk offered to give Taylor Swift "a child" after the pop star endorsed Harris. "I wouldn't let my best friend date Elon Musk, let alone let him buy our elections."

<keyword id="19945772" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Lucknow" source="keywords">Lucknow</keyword> (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 6 (ANI): KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (<keyword id="19920571" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="LSG" source="keywords">LSG</keyword>) registered an unwanted record during their clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (<keyword id="19924483" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="KKR" source="keywords">KKR</keyword>) in the Indian Premier League (<keyword id="19906063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL" source="keywords">IPL</keyword>) 2024 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. The Lucknow-based franchise conceded their biggest defeat margin by runs in the history of IPL on Sunday as they faced a 98-run loss against KKR. LSG's 81-run defeat against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 2023 season of IPL holds the second place on the list. While 62-run loss to Gujarat Titans (GT) in IPL 2022 is their third biggest defeat in the T20 tournament. Recapping the game between Lucknow and Kolkata, LSG opted to field first after winning the toss. Narine's 81, combined with solid knocks from Phil Salt (32), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (32) and Ramandeep Singh (25*) took KKR to 235/6 in their 20 overs. Naveen-ul-Haq (3/49) was the pick of the bowlers for LSG. Yash Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi and Yudhvir Singh got a wicket each. During the run chase of 236, Lucknow lost wickets at regular intervals. Marcus Stoinis (36) and skipper <keyword id="19907933" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="KL-Rahul" source="keywords">KL Rahul</keyword> (25) were the top scorers as LSG bundled out for 137 in 16.1 overs. Harshit Rana (3/24) and Varun Chakaravarthy (3/30) were the top wicket-takers for KKR. KKR is at the top with eight wins, three losses and 16 points. LSG is at fifth with six wins, five losses and 12 points. Sunil Narine took home the 'Player of the Match' for his one wicket and 81-run knock.

Jaiswal hammered a 52-ball 71 as India scored at over eight runs an over, and now trail the visitors by 95 runs. Earlier, Bangladesh were bundled out for 233 in their first innings, built around <keyword id="22750663" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mominul-Haque" source="keywords">Mominul Haque</keyword>'s patient hundred. The sun shone bright in the <keyword id="19921464" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kanpur" source="keywords">Kanpur</keyword> sky after two gloomy days and the on-field action finally began after losing eight sessions. Except for Mominul, none of the Bangladeshi batters applied themselves on a placid pitch that did not offer much to the Indian bowlers. Showing urgency to surpass Bangladesh total and probably push for a victory in the limited time available, India came out batting in the T20 mode. Jaiswal hit three boundaries in the opening over to stun pacer Hasan Mahmud while Rohit began by clobbering two sixes off Khaled Ahmed, and one landed on the stadium roof. The onslaught surprised the rival attack but the home fans were rewarded for flocking the stadium in the last two days despite rain. Going with a see-and-hit approach, India completed the fastest team fifty in three overs. Realising the ineffectiveness of his pacers, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto introduced spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz and he responded to the SOS call, castling Rohit. Jaiswal completed his fifty with a single off left-arm spinner Taijul Islam and went on in his aggressive fashion. His innings, which contained 12 fours and two sixes, was cut short by Mahmud. The young opener added 72 runs for the second wicket with Shubhman Gill (38). Gill (37) and Rishabh Pant (4) remained unseparated till the tea break. Earlier, pacer <keyword id="19899525" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jasprit-Bumrah" source="keywords">Jasprit Bumrah</keyword> (3/50) accounted for three batters, further establishing his brilliance, while his pace colleagues Mohammed Siraj (2/57) and Akash Deep (2/43) scalped two batters each. Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (2/45) got rid of legendary Shakib Al Hasan, probably playing his last Test. Ravindra Jadeja toiled hard to get his 300th Test wicket and succeeded when he caught and bowled Khaled. Jadeja also became the second quickest to complete the double of 300 wickets and 3000 runs in <keyword id="19935483" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Test-cricket" source="keywords">Test cricket</keyword> behind England great Ian Botham. Resuming at 107 for three, Bangladesh lost Mushfiqur Rahim (11) in the sixth over of the day when Bumrah bowled him with an angled delivery. It was an error of judgement from Rahim who left the ball, thinking it would go over the stumps but it stayed a bit low to disturb the off-stump. In the previous ball also, Rahim was troubled by an angled delivery that took the edge and zoomed to the boundary ropes. New-man in Litton Das (13) began confidently, driving a length ball from Bumrah through the cover for a four and followed that up with another solid drive in the same region. Mominul stayed solid from his end and also survived an appeal off Mohammed Siraj. The southpaw was beaten, as the ball hit his thigh-pad and DRS showed the ball had not touched his glove before being taken by Jaiswal. In the next ball, Mominul completed his half-century by pulling a short one from Siraj to the square leg boundary. Rohit, standing at mid-off, pulled a stunner from thin air when Das charged down the wicket to Siraj but stood in disbelief after his powerful hit was plucked by the Indian captain. In came Shakib (9), but he did not last long. He got his first boundary by working a full-length delivery from Siraj on the leg side. He went after Ashwin but could not connect well as his one hand came off the bat. Siraj standing at mid-off backpaddled to take a stunning catch.

Yashasvi Jaiswal hammers Bangladesh attack after Mominul's ton; India 138/2 at tea

There's a classic joke about two old ladies complaining that a local restaurant has terrible food — and portions that are way too small. You could say something similar about housing in much of the United States: The homes on offer are dull, uninspiring, nearly identical, and in far too short supply.While the cookie-cutter sameness of American abodes and the worrying lack of new construction seem like two distinct issues, they actually go hand in hand. Local building codes and other land-use regulations have imposed strict limits on the size and shape of new housing, leading to both a major supply crunch and a deadening aesthetic uniformity of the housing that does get built. On most residential land, developers can legally build only detached single-family housing — usually with a big yard out front. While there's nothing wrong with wanting to live in that housing, people who prefer something different have few options. And in high-demand areas, working-class and low-income people increasingly have no options at all.It doesn't have to be this way. The single-family home need not be the sole legal construction option. If we introduce more flexibility into the design rules for housing construction, we could end up with a wide variety of housing across our cities — something for everyone to meet every household's needs. We have the power to make homes weird again.<h2 id="c01429e9-1d1c-42ea-87d6-565ca37e8a96">A history of sameness</h2>In the years following World War II, the sameness of American housing was part of what fueled the boom in new home construction that turned the country into a homeownership society. In the planned community of Levittown, New York, and its imitators, developers quickly assembled thousands of nearly identical single-family homes for returning GIs and their families. Because these homes were so similar, builders could mass-produce them with prefabricated materials, almost as if they were 3D printing an entire community from one set of floor plans. Though this homogeneity would later invite disdain — see the 1962 song "<a target="_blank" href="https://genius.com/Malvina-reynolds-little-boxes-lyrics">Little Boxes</a>" — it held down construction costs, which allowed developers to offer the homes for sale to young families at affordable prices.The trouble started in the latter half of the 20th century because cities decided to enforce that sameness. Instead of letting developers build the type of housing best suited for an area, many cities set a normative standard that the detached single-family home was the home for everyone, regardless of their income, preferences, and family configuration. And when local governments insist that this is the only type of housing one can legally build in most of the city, they limit how many residents that city can comfortably accommodate. Take Los Angeles, where<a target="_blank" href="https://belonging.berkeley.edu/single-family-zoning-greater-los-angeles"> about three-quarters of residential-zoned land</a> in 2021 was zoned exclusively for developing single-family housing. The results have been predictable: LA has a severe housing shortage, a devastating homelessness crisis, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-10-19/los-angeles-history-overcrowding-united-states">the worst overcrowding in the country</a>.Many local governments go beyond the single-family-house mandate and set strict rules regarding the design of the house, the amount of parking space in each garage, and even the size of the lot on which the house sits. The website for the pro-housing group Desegregate Connecticut says that "81% of residential land in Connecticut requires about 1 acre per home, and 49% requires about 2 acres per home (a football field and a half!)." That means the Levittown homes, which sit on 6,000-square-foot lots, would be illegal to build in the vast majority of Connecticut. Even in the rare spots where developers are allowed to build multifamily housing, they're often strictly limited in the type of apartments they can build. The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.vox.com/22650806/gentrification-affordable-housing-low-income-housing">much-loathed</a> 5-over-1 apartment building became so prevalent in part because it conforms to objective design standards, minimum parking requirements, and the common legal requirement that multifamily buildings over a certain size have multiple staircases. These rules make apartment buildings larger than they need to be and unnecessarily expensive to build. Plus, they can be built with only a limited number of floor plans, making it harder to include "family-sized" apartments with three or more bedrooms.This country needs to build more homes, but there's no reason all those new homes need to look the same. In fact, we'll get a lot more of the housing we need if we allow for more experimentation with housing types in our cities. In other words, we need to let homebuilders get a little weird.<h2 id="18cd0803-db22-4ce9-840b-05b66237213e">Weird is good</h2>For a sense of what "weird" could look like, look at metropolitan Tokyo, a region that has done an excellent job of controlling housing costs even as its population has nearly quadrupled since the end of World War II. Tokyo has homes in all shapes and sizes: detached single-family homes, attached row houses, small apartment buildings, midsize apartment buildings, and colossal residential high-rises. Spend some time in the area and you'll notice that these homes also come in a variety of architectural styles — a far cry from the enforced uniformity of many American cities.There's a reason for all that heterogeneity: Unlike nearly every American city, Tokyo has a loose approach to land-use regulation. An American city may have hundreds of zoning classifications, but the entire country of Japan has only a baker's dozen: eight residential zones, two commercial zones, and three industrial zones. This zoning is, for the most part, organized vertically: Any lot that permits a certain type of use also allows other uses of equal or lower intensity. For instance, it is legal to build a house, or a house with a small attached shop, on most lots, except for certain industrial ones.These rules do not come with the arbitrary aesthetic standards you find in many American cities. But instead of being chaotic, Tokyo's blend of disparate building types and architectural styles makes the city more visually interesting to pedestrians. There's even some evidence that <a target="_blank" href="https://aeon.co/essays/why-boring-streets-make-pedestrians-stressed-and-unhappy">this variety is better for the physical and mental health of residents</a>, who are less likely to get bored or depressed on their daily perambulations. But perhaps the most important benefit of Tokyo's flexible land-use rules is that they allow builders to quickly respond to changing demand and market pressures. No wonder Tokyo has stayed largely affordable even as other global cities have run into major supply crunches. In Japan, the average household spent 11% of its after-tax income on housing in 2022. Meanwhile, more than 42 million American households spent more than a third of their income on housing costs — and that number keeps climbing.We don't need to make every American city look like Tokyo to relieve our housing crisis, but we could learn from Japan's willingness to let developers and architects get a little weird. Some low-hanging fruit for building variability is right there in front of us:<ul><li>Allow the building of accessory dwelling units: More places can <a target="_blank" href="https://cayimby.org/reports/california-adu-reform-a-retrospective/">follow California's lead</a> and allow the construction of ADUs — smaller homes that usually share a lot with a single-family structure. These small structures allow homeowners to add a small rental property in their backyard or a little garden apartment for a relative.</li><li>Allow apartment buildings with one staircase: Making it legal to build more apartment buildings with only one staircase would substantially reduce construction costs and allow for apartment buildings to be built on smaller lots. It would also lead to the construction of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.niskanencenter.org/how-to-build-more-family-sized-apartments/">more family-friendly apartments</a>.</li><li>Streamline outdated elevator codes: As the building-codes guru Stephen Smith of the Center for Building in North America recently <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/08/opinion/elevator-construction-regulation-labor-immigration.html">wrote for The New York Times</a>, elevators in the United States "have become over-engineered, bespoke, handcrafted and expensive pieces of equipment that are unaffordable in all the places where they are most needed." Aligning American elevator codes with European standards would allow for smaller, cheaper elevators.</li><li>Eliminate minimum parking requirements: Many cities require developers to include a certain number of off-street parking spots per housing unit — even if they're building in a walkable area or near public transit, meaning residents wouldn't necessarily need to drive. Removing these mandates would allow developers to respond to market demand for parking, or lack thereof, and experiment with constructing parking-light or no-parking multifamily buildings.</li><li>Legalize cohousing: Boardinghouses and single-room-occupancy hotels, where residents had private bedrooms but potentially shared bathrooms and kitchens, used to be a common, naturally low-cost feature of many American cities. Now they're illegal in much of the country — except for some (frequently decrepit) SROs that were grandfathered in.</li></ul>In short, more flexibility is good. More flexibility leads to more weird. People who really like single-family homes should still have access to single-family homes. But people who need a lower-cost option, like a micro-unit apartment, should have access to that option. Multigenerational households should have the choice to live in a building that's built for more than just a small nuclear family. Families who simply prefer apartments — maybe because they want to live in a central location or simply don't want the hassle of caring for a lawn — should get a choice too.<a target="_blank" rel="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/author/ned-resnikoff">Ned Resnikoff</a> is the policy director of California YIMBY and co-leader of the Metropolitan Abundance Project.
