I want more housing, power plants of all types, water desalination, roundabouts, courtyards, passenger rail, canals, data centers, and AI.

@ObserventGhost @jeremyct Ben Franklin: all property—except for one’s immediate subsistence items like a cabin, bow, or matchcoat—is a "creature of public convention". He argued that because society creates property rights, the public & its government have a valid right to regulate, limit, & tax property.

@Mario_Tirabassi Reminds me of when Kansas stormed the field after beating Iowa State in 2014. At the time, all of us Cyclone fans were like we’re not that good. And then they did it again in 2022.

The saddest thing amount the French quarter in New Orleans is that it’s seen as a just tourist destination and not mixed use urban village that the rest of the country should be inspired to copy

@aswren Social security already has made boomers into communists. They just vote for communism geared towards themselves. The plot has already been lost.

FT comments never miss.

I don’t think I’ve read such a rational analysis of the situation we’re in for a long time.

NYC’s problem is one of supply (it is the only real city in America) and demand (300,000,000 people live in this country). Imagine if Paris was the only city in Europe where you could feasibly not own a car. It’s honestly a miracle NYC isn’t more broken…

@larosee50068 @stillnothawkize And if someone has a trip where they are staying in multiple stops along the trip, the hotel is going to win. Let the housing be housing if you don’t like it.

It's the same pretty much everywhere with rent controls. A story from Berlin:

[Meagan Kohler @TresClare]

My husband and a partner had a window cleaning business in college (in Utah). Mitt hired them to do the windows at his house where he was hosting a big event for donors later that day. My husband wasn’t at that job, but his partner told us that Mitt was apologetic, saying he “usually does it himself” and he kept offering to help—and asking if he was ok—while he was up on the ladder.

Last week, friends with young kids came to visit us from the suburbs in California.

As we ran around Manhattan together, they looked at us and asked, “How do you do this all the time? How do you raise young kids in New York City? Do you have to get in the car every time you go somewhere? This seems crazy.”

I smiled and told them that, for us, raising kids in the city is actually easier than raising them in the suburbs.

We never think about getting in the car.

The grocery store is two blocks away. The kids’ doctor is two blocks away. There’s a Barnes & Noble six minutes away on foot.

We walk to the Met, the Natural History Museum, and Central Park.

We walk to get coffee. There are playgrounds and playdates everywhere. Our building is full of kids their age, and so is our block.

Once you get past the idea that raising kids in the city must be complicated, the day-to-day reality is pretty simple.

We just walk out the door.

And honestly, raising kids in the city is actually a whole lot easier than raising them in the suburbs.
