@neo_antiquarian @MichaelPauleen @eric23332 The car analogy is so good that YIMBYs used it for years before the used car market spiked when lockdowns cut new car production. It's almost like economics gives us rigorous ways to predict how the economy works and how prices are formed.






this graph from the AP stunned me into silence







Hard to put into words what happened yesterday. I had zero awareness of the car that nearly brushed us on the right. In a fraction of a second it moved us from the middle lane into the left lane. My wife and I were completely speechless. We’re both safe because of that reaction. If we had stayed in the lane, things could have gone very differently. This is the kind of moment that makes you trust the system.

when rent is $8k for a one bedroom, please remember that the fault is in the people who, for 50 years, showed up to argue against nearly every unit of housing proposed these people are no san franciscans

@lst156 Public sector gave you nothing.



Liberalism is so depleted it’s insane. No ambition, no new answers, no adjustments. Just 1992 forever. A Clintonite infinity. We must imagine Sisyphus balancing the budget.



Im convinced people like this have to a psyop to make the left look like idiots no one could actually be this dumb. Next their gonna say mill valley is being gentrified

Who among us hasn’t figured out the way to make real money is to sink capital into vacant real estate and then not develop it?
