Depends who you ask.
Some folks, several of whom are in this thread, have a deep philosophical opposition to weapons research.

Or just security systems, and or counter-battery work.
Tactical autonomy can mean a lot.

>The center will be focused on tactical autonomy technology for military systems and Howard University will receive $12 million per year for five years to fund research, faculty and students.
Looks like more of an AI focus.

This seems like a good thing. DoD money getting to HBCUs just makes sense, and it seems this won't stop solely at Howard.
>Howard will lead a consortium of universities that includes Jackson State, Delaware State, Bowie State, Norfolk State, Hampton, Florida Memorial and Tougaloo College.
DoD research is more than weapons, it's health and general innovation. This seems like a massive opportunity, and I hope Howard is able to make the best of it.

More units stalls increases. There's pretty decent research on this.

I believe you misread that. They said 1,000 per year, for 10 years. That's 10,000 apartments, and they're saying that's a minimum (in addition to single-family home construction).

I doubt that ~10K apartments wouldn't rapidly lead to saturation of short-term rentals.
We do lack inventory. 10K apartments aren't on AirBnB. It strains credulity to believe as much. And hoarding real-estate doesn't seem likely if you can make money renting what you have.

I have no opposition to it, and generally consider it a necessity of the modern world, however there are ethical implications that have to be taken into account.
