@GaryHargis @AlecStapp For 10x the price that China can build it?

Why? So long as we never go to war, something trade is meant to prevent, we don't need to.

@jamandabop This was the consensus position for decades when describing any disparity that shows men outperforming women.

If it's ridiculous when describing anti-male structural disadvantage, do you also think it's ridiculous when describing similar past anti-female disadvantages?

"Every system that advantages men just reflects their innate superiority, and anything that advantages women is a sexist cabal against men."

lol

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@jamandabop Title IX and other programs intended to increase the proportion of women in education were created in response to women being a far smaller percentage of college students than men are today.

Do you not see any issue with education being dominated by women K-12-Uni?

@shinboson @LittleKeegs0 "No no, while I do vote for the kill-all-people-with-AIDS party, I vote for them because they also lower my tax rate. No I am not open to persuasion; I vote my personal best interest."

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@rpphotovideo @PhilSustainable That happened. Remember the SoHo upzoning?

@ForagingForever @TomIsInTexas @Mike_Godek01 @thehonestlypod @ezraklein “If we don’t stack ourselves on top of each other like China, then China wins!”

Live however you like, but don't force me and everyone else to live your lifestyle and pay most of our income for the privilege.

@ForagingForever @TomIsInTexas @Mike_Godek01 @thehonestlypod @ezraklein The small Texas town I grew up in, population 1,100, now has double-wides going for $200k. Actual built-in-place houses? $350k.

This is in spite of having half the jobs:people ratio of the US.

There is not plenty of housing, anywhere.

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@sam_d_1995 Anyone who says we don't need to spend millions of dollars and spend several months to gather community input to determine whether we should do (unambiguously good policy) is clearly a (racist/classist/bigot) and hates (protected group).

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@SmithPert @StatisticUrban "Abundance" in most cases means preventing governments from interfering with the free market producing enough goods for everyone.

We don't have a shortage of housing because developers don't know how to build enough housing.

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@ForagingForever @TomIsInTexas @Mike_Godek01 @thehonestlypod @ezraklein Sounds like you support the US Birth rate continuing to collapse, and the youth continuing to pay exorbitant rents just to support your weird aesthetic concerns.

People like you are the reason why China is beating us.

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@PolicyMulti @sbwnhtx @ArmandDoma Sounds like every city should build a million so they can profit off of this.

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@WCreekerE @StatisticUrban Incremental changes reduce opposition. People fight new buildings in their neighborhood or such a strong drop in property prices that they lose equity in their homes.

Stopping the bleeding isn't perfect, but it's better than nothing.

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@willmduff @StatisticUrban Republicans simply have better political instincts and recognize that this achieves many of their goals:

Reduce property taxes
Increase population => more electoral votes

Meanwhile democrats waste time trying and failing to please everyone.

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

Republicans want their states to grow.

The same cannot be said for many Democrats. This must change.

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@LanceCashion @LtGovTX Lowering housing prices also lowers your property taxes.

You need local tax revenue to pay for policemen dude.

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@leftcoastist @EmmaVigeland @texasrunnerDFW That took me a while to parse too.

"They're not wrong on housing"

"They're not!"

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@FrankBraconi @AlexanderMcCoy4 Families don't need a detached house, and given the current rates of building, it's not too much of an exaggeration to say that New York doesn't allow developers to build upward (or at all).

[UrbanAbundance @BobsU22448]

@OnKnockers @AlexanderMcCoy4 So you agree that building more would fix the problem, as it did in literally every city that built a lot of housing?

left-NIMBYs are gonna solidify Republican majorities for a generation
