> Mails are superior in announcing to multiple people
People who are known at time of sending. A slack message can be searched by those joining the team much (much) later, those who move teams, in-house search bots, etc. Mailing lists bridge this gap to some extent, but then you're really not just using email, you're using some kind of external collaboration service.

PretzelFisch commented on What happens when housing prices go down? clmarohn.substack.com/p/w... · Posted by u/chmaynard
It’s not just regulation either. Housing companies are not building as much as they did prior to 2008, which had substantially the same regulatory environment in most places.
The idea that we’ve started building enough to bring prices down is a non-starter.
Why would the builder want to build enough to let prices drop? They seem to play a lot of games to give buyers incentives that do not lower the sales price.
