Winthrop 43, Traip (Robert W.) Academy 22 - We tracked a few different storylines as collected U.S. auto sales numbers throughout 2023. Many of the narrative arcs were looking up: the sales numbers were strong, in large regard thanks to increasing inventory. Many automakers were finally able to produce more cars to keep up with demand as supply-chain issues continued to ease. It's not all rosy, as Stellantis didn't quite keep up with the previous year's sales pace, but other major players—namely Ford, GM, Toyota, and Honda—were all up compared with 2022. Here we've ranked the 25 bestselling models by nameplate. Interestingly, it's not just SUVs and trucks that posted big sales increases; even many sedans were up and make up a significant chunk of the list.

The new parking garage will include space designated for future development of affordable housing in Silver Spring. - Single women own more homes than single men — and overall homeownership is now majority female.
Why it matters: Sixty years ago, women couldn't even get a credit card or a mortgage without a male cosigner. Now, the share of single women homeowners eclipses that of single men.

- HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - During a State of State address focused on Lahaina recovery, Gov. Josh Green reiterated his pledge to institute a vacation rental moratorium in West Maui by March 1 if housing needs for wildfire survivors aren’t met.

In a presentation to the Senate Education Committee on Wednesday, Hedy Chang, executive director of the nonprofit Attendance Matters, said chronic absenteeism rates have doubled nationwide since the pandemic and Alaska is no exception. - Jill Dumas was born and raised in Gainesville. As a kid, the city was not much more than Cotton’s Mini Mart, the Southern Showplace Area and Rosie’s Bar. Now, the 46-year-old Gainesville realtor and homeowner contrasts today’s city with that of the past.
Dumas noticed large chain corporations like Walmart and Publix taking over isn’t the only change the city is facing; it’s also facing rising interest rates, causing an affordable housing crisis for potential homebuyers.
The average cost of living in Gainesville is 2% higher than the national average, while the housing cost is 12% higher than the national average.
Gainesville residents aren’t alone as living in Florida can be expensive, with Florida’s more heavily populated cities like Miami sitting 21% above the national average cost of living, or Orlando, which sits at 5% above the national average.
However, Tampa, a city of nearly 400,000 people, averages a cost of living no different than the national average, according to the United States Census Bureau.
Dumas believes the housing crisis is due to high prices and the emergence of Airbnbs, she said. - The ongoing insurance crisis in Florida, fueled by the exodus of major insurers and the increased risk of extreme weather events, could trigger a downturn in the state's real estate market, experts told Newsweek.

- With the new year comes an event that New York housing advocates should face with dread: the annual session of the state legislature.

Ron DeSantis, who normally shines as a campaigner, if not as a governor, has taken a hit on his missteps with the Walt Disney Co. Why he got himself into this fix is a mystery. Apparently, he thought he saw a political opportunity with Disney’s pushback on the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act (which critics call the Don’t Say Gay bill). Prudence says he should have let it pass, but instead he barged full speed ahead with an ill-conceived attack on one of Florida’s most important and venerated business enterprises. It was a dumb move, compounded by poor staff work that let Disney get ahead of DeSantis’ blundering. If DeSantis wants a shot at the presidency, so be it. But that does not mean he can forgo the good governance of Florida in his campaign for the Republican nomination. His attack on Disney is not good governance, and his threat to throw the full force of Florida law at Disney in retaliation begs for a “Mickey Mouse” label, but that mouse votes Disney, not DeSantis.
