The fundamental left-NIMBY argument ultimately always boils down to "new housing is built for people that aren't cool" Thus, it does not matter that Left-NIMBYism has never created affordability, it isn't the goal /1

@yhdistyminen Have you taken into consideration the low quality of the typical suburbanite transplant newcomer to our cities? I mean, look at what’s being done to San Francisco.

@Brien_Jackson My first reaction was “Whoever solves the political problem of ennui is going to be elected to four terms.” My second was “I think Fukuyama was vindicated yet again”.

The real black pill that more Democrats need to recognize is that if you make the median voter's life better they'll just find something else to complain about. Obamacare really should have been that lesson
NickFrank40@NickyFrank30

I’m personally tired of these same talking points. There is no broad agenda that the public will point to that they can agree with “make their lives better.” This varies by person to person. To the extent that there was one issue that there was wide agreement on would improve their lives, it was mass deportations.

@harrisonfinberg To operate the service in Philadelphia, Waymo is going to have to invest tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure and good jobs managing and maintaining the fleet – vehicle techs, test drivers, skilled trades and more. A Councilmember called this an "attack" on the city.

@jmhorp But as soon as capitalism starts doing creative destruction, they panic, because it means things change. If they have the option to drop the capitalism but keep social conservatism (Trump, Peron…) they jump.

> 70% of active Hinge users have never gotten a first date. what
Jake Kozloski@jakozloski

@Duderichy A small number of people get very lucky in the first few dates. A medium number get lucky after years on them. For the vast majority it does not work at all. 70% of active Hinge users have never gotten a first date.

@meatballtimes @stanfordNYC Philly's property taxes are some of the lowest in the region, if you raised them to the average level of the suburbs, the city would have the fiscal space to get rid BIRT, and greatly reduce the city income tax. The city has no interest in this policy change.

@meatballtimes @stanfordNYC I think you can make an argument that there are some instances where you can't perfectly disentangle the socioeconomic differences vs governance quality (schools, trash pickup, crime - all hurt by poverty) but the tax structure is a pretty clear instance.

You say "suburbs are bad, because they let people take advantage of the city's commerce without being subject to it's laws." But often that's exactly why suburbs are *good*! For example, Warsaw banned Jews from the city and surroundings in the 18th century. But noble estates were exempt from the city's laws. So nobles happily collected rents by accepting Jewish tenants, engaging in "jurisdictional arbitrage" the way suburbs do. One duke brazenly named his enclave "New Jerusalem," established just outside Warsaw's walls. Today, cities in the US often use their legal reach for destructive redistribution and overregulation. Luckily, New York City can't ban AirBnB or impose "rent stabilization" on its suburbs. Just like Warsaw banning the Jews, the impact of governance of major American cities is mostly negative, and we should be glad suburbs offer a way around it.

Reminder that suburbs are parasites that leech off of the city’s agglomeration effects without contributing to her prosperity

In a pluralistic society you need to balance a host of interests to reach a workable solution. But way too many people feel entitled to work the same job from 22-65, live in an unchanging town from 22-65, have a veto over everything but enjoy continually rising living standards.

I find it very funny that the people who are usually "rah rah support your local unions!" are very upset about this, while the union-skeptic nerds are going "welp, looks like we're on the same team this time - friends?"
The Associated Press@AP

Building trades unions have long been considered a voice of the American worker. Now, they're intertwined with the richest companies in the world as they create America’s artificial intelligence economy. apnews.com/article/artifi…
