The @DetroitCityFC season starts this week, so it’s time for my annual preemptive apology to anyone who follows me on Twitter for economic development policy or other substantive stuff and instead gets a dose of American minor-league soccer supporter culture. #DCTID

This is INSANE public policy. Education and sports economics researchers need to join forces to stop communities from closing schools bc of some bogus assertions about the influx of tourism that the NFL Draft clearly does not bring. They did it in KC too. publicsource.org/pittsburgh-pub…

@jc_bradbury Nobody bothered to ask, “Wait, you’re actually expecting Pittsburgh, population 300,000, to triple in population for the NFL Draft?”

There needs to be a new lower circle of hell for people who close schools in response to obviously phony economic/tourism impact claims regarding the NFL draft. Enough!
David Zweig@davidzweig

Pittsburgh Public Schools will be closed for three days, and compel "asynchronous" remote learning, because of the NFL Draft. Since the city will have a lot of visitors this will "ensure students can continue learning safely and effectively." Unreal. publicsource.org/pittsburgh-pub…

They’re really claiming with a straight face that Pittsburgh will be getting 2x as many tourists for the NFL Draft as there are residents in the city? How?

@aparnafordc The real-world evidence is that the best way to ensure affordable housing is to let people build new market-rate housing. That way, higher-income people move into the new homes rather than gentrify lower-income people out of theirs. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

I actually got my degree in economics. :) That's why I know it's not just possible to push for tenant protections while we build new housing for everyone, it's our moral responsibility. It doesn't matter how many homes we build if people get pushed out of the existing ones.
Build more homes@john102414

aparna is an awful candidate who’s got no sense of economics. it’s always rent control and other outdated ideas. even her signature collectors couldn’t say her policies, just that they were paid by her. she’s another activist not a policy maker.

I don’t think they thought through the full implications of this.

@dcuillie @grok @ryangrim @NiallStanage Grok is incorrect. Article I, Section 1 says, "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States," which means they alone have those powers unless they delegate them to another branch, which Congress has not done with declarations of war.

I am absolutely convinced that states intentionally make their online campaign finance database systems as clunky, opaque and generally user-hostile as possible. They can’t all be this bad by accident.

Today is the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith's 'Wealth of Nations.' Two years ago, I explained in @NRO how Smith's original formula for prosperity is still valid today, however much our 'economic development' policies might ignore it. nationalreview.com/2024/03/adam-s…

I was using ChatGPT for legal advice and it decided to completely hallucinate some preposterous nonsense about how growing wheat to use on my own farm somehow constitutes interstate commerce
