Quem sou eu pra questionar Victor Carvalho Pinto, mas "o Aeroporto de Congonhas já havia imposto restrições significativas ao planejamento paulistano"?

O aeroporto estava lá muito antes do bairro existir.

The entire modern world, including capitalism and industrialisation, happened because we beat NIMBYism and vetocracy in 18th-century England.

Today, the vetocracy, the stakeholder state, the NIMBYs stop us building the nuclear power plants, railways, houses, towers, bridges, roads, gas turbines, solar panels, and powerlines that we need for growth.

Then, they stopped people from consolidating their land, transporting goods freely, investing in irrigation, and mortgaging their property to invest. The events that led to their downfall are called the Glorious Revolution. I think we can repeat what they did and have another Glorious Revolution of our own.

Early modern Europe was sclerotic, stifled by NIMBYs of its own: the aristocrats, guilds, and clergy who stood against the reforms that were necessary for 18th-century progress. Everyone knew that inheritance rules split land up too much, everyone knew that common land was overgrazed, everyone knew that property rights restricted making best use of land, labour, and capital.

Each one of them decided the answer was consolidating power in an absolute monarch. Each one of them failed completely. They didn't crush the NIMBYs: the NIMBYs crushed them.

One country launched itself into rapid growth, creating the industrial modernity we live under today: England. It did this, as everyone agreed was necessary, by overriding the tangle of landowner property rights that prevented best use of land. But it tried something almost unbelievable: to get the landowner NIMBYs to crush themselves.

England did not attempt to set up an absolutist state: quite the opposite. It gave landowners supreme power, and they used it to crush their fellows: the minority of landowners who were opposed to progress.

There are lessons for today. Many modern reformers think that the answer to NIMBYs is demonising them, trying to build an angry coalition of forces who hate homeowners or boomers or Republicans or environmentalists. But many of the most successful reform schemes operating around the world today try a different tack: bring a majority of homeowners onside, and it is much, much easier to crush the remaining NIMBYs.

We can still learn from England's Glorious Revolution.

Afinal, é muito mais crível dizer que “NY é 10x mais rica que SP” do que dizer que “NY é 10x menos bagunçada que SP”…

[Lightfair @lightfair]

O mais irônico é que justamente parece que “economia” é um assunto mais popular/frequente que “urbanismo” por ser mais generalizável e comparável

[Lightfair @lightfair]

Muito bom que um debate profundo sobre PIB per capita termina em “walking around” vs “driving around”

Mr Krugman suggests a “walking around test”: if Europe is getting poor, why does it feel so pleasant? Mr Garicano proposes a “driving around test” instead. American suburbia might not have a medieval town’s charm but affluence oozes from the McMansion garages.

@JesusFerna7026 Very amusing to see it end with a "driving around" vs "walking around" stance, moving away from deflators to the physical reality of cities.
(The precarious state of Brazilian cities is a strong testament to failed institutions, so this angle is very dear to me...)

Quem diria que o combate ao "NIMBY do Século XVII"(acho que é uma descrição justa) pode ter sido a chave da revolução industrial? Vale a leitura https://t.co/cOhXZp39u7

kkk, as manchetes do Twitter/X que eu recebo tão realmente personalizadas!

No Brasil tanto o walking como driving around iam ser igualmente deprimentes…

.@TheEconomist covers our "Is Europe Stagnating" debate with Krugman. It reaches three conclusions I am happy to settle for:
"First, Europe is growing slower than America. Second, that is a problem: even if Europe can free-ride on America’s dynamism, as Team Krugman argues, that is no way to run an economy. Third, the AI era may be less forgiving than the last wave of tech-driven growth."

É 1988, você está produzindo a série britânica mais cara da história e não tem autorização para filmar nas ruas de Berlim Oriental e outras capitais do Leste Europeu (ainda) comunista?

A solução é simples: basta usar ruas de Manchester e Bolton, então desoladas o bastante para parecer parte da Cortina de Ferro...
