I want a brighter and more abundant future (than I had) for my son and others of his generation.

That means building a lot more stuff in the highest opportunity places in the country.

This thread is such a perfect encapsulation of the "lead paint caucus" mindset: "When I was young, I had to choose between living in a lead paint filled shithole, moving to a sprawlburg, or uprooting my life and relocating to another city. And so should you!"

I used our recently open-sourced models to run an analysis of the proposed reforms to Seattle's MHA tax on new housing. TLDR - it would save about $100 on rent for all renters in the City. 1/2

The large decline in NVIDIA's stock price suggests that the marginal product of at least some CEOs is extremely high--often well above their compensation which can be restrained by norms.

Anti-BAAJA groups are shopping for Native American influencers who will parrot their talking points for $10K

@deuceohsixx City probably shouldn’t have made that spot so unviable as a drug store.

@cljack I worked with a vendor where the owner mansplains to everyone, including other men. Every time a guy would meet him they’d come out and say, “what is that guy’s problem????” And my wife would always be like,

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Delaware forcing Musk to buy twitter might end up being one of the best things to ever happen to democrats.

I’ve seen the light.

@maxdubler I think you polarized yourself in CA politics. But also, I meant it as a compliment so I’m not really qualified to answer the question neutrally.

@MarcoLowe Electeds are stack ranking coalition partners and we’re seeing who comes out on top and who actually cares about middle class affordability. It’s, um, not good.

I was mad when the Teamsters betrayed the country by flipping R, but also, the progressive caucus flipping on Unions at the drop of a hat makes it sort of understandable.

[Alec Stapp @AlecStapp]

Why is the Congressional Progressive Caucus opposing a bill endorsed by AFL-CIO, IBEW, LIUNA, and the Teamsters?

[Logan Bowers 🏗️ 🏘️ @loganb]

@maxdubler Yeah, but your lib tendencies have intensified.

Pete reminds me of Hilary. Which is probably why I like him. He's an incredibly smart team player that arrives at the right answer before most people, and they never forgive him for it.

Hawley's BAAJA amendments are all aimed at the transmission portions of the bill, essentially aimed at slowing down the permitting and shrinking the scope of FERC to act to permit lines

@GarrettPetersen I don’t think that guy would last long under the position that hobbies/entertainment shouldn’t be allowed to use electricity or water.

Environmental concerns are all so selectively deployed. We have gaming conventions where people fly on jet planes to be there.

@elaifresh Sol medium is still a jr engineer, doing dumb stuff on the regular. What am I doing wrong here lol.

The way this worked historically is that the transportation infrastructure went in, and the downtown organically grew around it, but modern city “planning” makes that impossible.

[Derek T. Muller @derektmuller]

One of the most shocking things from this WSJ video on the California high-speed rail is the decision to move the stations *four to five miles* from city center to cut costs. Dropping you off downtown is the biggest perk of the train! https://t.co/TtliVTKDYf

During the New Deal, rural America was rapidly electrified. That happened because the government decided it wanted to do it, and there were no environmental reviews or lengthy permits.

Modern progressives could never pull it off because it would hurt too many feelings. Sad.

[Logan Bowers 🏗️ 🏘️ @loganb]

@keegan_tweets Seems likely there’s some cross-subsidy going on here. The extent is the million dollar question.

[Andrew Damitio 🏗️ (🏬🚝☢️🔆🔋♨️) @AndrewDamitio]

The mindset these activists have that a government should have the power to prevent a business from operating on land it owns, merely because the brand is politically out-of-favor, is antithetical to the very concept of free enterprise.
