Upcoming March Events
Here are some upcoming events I’ll be attending/hosting!
1) Come to office hours on Wednesday or Saturday
For the next couple of weeks I will have office hours on Wednesday (7:30-10am, Manhattan) and Saturday (noon-2pm, Brooklyn). Come if you’re a current or former student, or if you just want to say hello. You can find office hour listings on the MNY calendar.
2) I’m debating the cause of New York’s housing affordability issue on March 11
The debate will be moderated by Urban Explained (give him a follow on Instagram). Tickets went fast, but there will be social media follow up and clips! From the event listing:
Resolution:
“Poor governance, not market forces, is the primary cause of New York City’s housing affordability crisis.”
Audience vote before and after. Live Q&A included.
Debaters
For the Affirmative: John Ketcham, Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow and Director of Cities, and Daniel Golliher, Manhattan Institute Fellow and founder of Maximum New York
For the Negative: Emily Eisner, Chief Economist, Fiscal Policy Institute, and Michael Kinnucan, Senior Health Policy Advisor, Fiscal Policy Institute
3) Future of AI Demo Day on March 14
Maximum New York is co-hosting this event with Fractal Tech.
We’ll be doing quick demos of AI use cases that are…useful! Neat! This isn’t a product demo night, rather a chance to see how everyone around you is using AI tools in their lives.
Whether you’re shoulder-deep in the tools or are just wondering “what are all these people talking about,” you’re welcome to come enjoy the evening. I’ll be doing a demo! At the very least, I’ll show you how I quickly built data.maximumnewyork.com with Claude Code.
4) “The American Founding in One Evening” on March 19
I’m doing another installment of “The American Founding in One Evening,” where I take you on a tour from 1763-1803, the founding forty. The American founding is far stranger than most people know, and we’re going to get into it. I believe that most people, once they become acquainted with it, also find lessons and rhetoric that are useful in the modern day.
Good luck in your debate!
