@bobbyfijan Our school district has neighborhood schools as the default, and the option of lottery for a different school. You do see people move to specific neighborhoods for the school as opposed to chancing the lottery.

@dan_hues @Empty_America We do all that in New York too… especially in the rural districts I think cost of living has the most to do with it. Even in the cheaper areas, houses are affordable but taxes are outrageous due to counties paying for Medicaid.

Our schools are not as great in cities.

@StatisticUrban @LinkofSunshine Doing the NYC half marathon and running toward it before going into Manhattan is so cool

Going here must be like visiting some historical village where everyone is churning butter

@shagbark_hick Growing up Upstate I’d feel pretty lucky to live on a street where every house looked like yours.

Never kill yourself. There is always hope in life. And it destroys the people who love you.

Why the Midwest is currently my favorite part of the US

1) It still manufactures a lot, and that gives people good meaningful jobs that ground them to reality. The American Dream is still alive here.
2) People are not performative, with a genuineness divorced from promotion. What is the stereotype to play to? Naive, boring, sincerity with a touch of drunk?
3) and like all of the US, every city here has bunch of brew-pubs and great restaurants. The idea that you can only get lattes, home-crafted IPAs, etc, on the coasts is crazy. Everywhere in the country now has great options, especially here.
4) Oh, Great Lakes beaches are vastly under-rated
5) Culver's

In praise of the Midwest, my latest piece

@shagbark_hick @wrowclif I suspect Fort Drum is the primary reason Watertown metro has such a high rate as it does.

@shagbark_hick Few better feelings than taking a walk in heavy snow to the local bar.

Do people not have meaningful relationships with friends and family anymore?

@JQPublic001 @shagbark_hick Buffalo is on the mend

@simonsarris @Romy_Holland At the same time, in our apartment someone breaking in would need to get through 3 sets of locked doors to get into our unit… I think a house would be much easier to break into. Usually we sit with our neighbors on our stoop while baby sleeps upstairs.

@DukeOfManch @punished_casa Southern Tier is absolutely Midwest-Yankeedom B coded. And I generally agree Utica-west is as well.

@aiex_1982 @vanillaopinions Buffalo is growing, Albany has tons of civil service jobs, all of the cities have major universities and medical centers. Aside from Binghamton, most of upstate has more or less stabilized.

[Bobby Fijan @bobbyfijan]

These Cities need to expand AND densify their metros. Give people an option to stay beyond moving states

New paper (w/ Jon Gruber): What’s a building permit worth? And what can we learn about the importance of de-facto regulatory burdens versus de-jure constraints in housing development? We study these questions using a new setting: the market for land with preapproved permits.
