Perfect distillation of all complaints about social media: my inferiors should not be allowed a voice.

Everyday Bluesky is an incredibly articulate argument against universal suffrage.

Hemingway said that when good Americans die they go to Paris. But me, if I’m good enough, I think I’ll just come back to the Prospect Park farmers market.

fundamentally if the right-wing fantasy was true and there was a massive cabal of American elites working to get women to take over male-dominated industries they'd be doing a terrible job at it

I looked into a gonzo First Things essay that argues women are using the government "prop up" their employment. It's wrong, but it's wrong in an interesting way. Men actually increased thier employment *within* industry, but female industries grew faster. newsletter.mikekonczal.com/p/the-girlbo...

Ich würde sagen "schützen". "Retten" klingt für mich so, als läge er schon halb im Sterben (wie der Wal vor Wismar).

This feels like progress.

I am 100% in favor of upzoning (almost) everywhere. I just think that it needs to be supplemented by other policies in order to really make a dent in housing costs and raise densities.

I don't know, I haven't looked at that site in a long time. I did see him in person a few months ago, and we talked about bananas among other things.

Yes, the fact that Gowanus is a former industrial area and the other areas of major upzonings are not is also a factor here.

(I was staying in Virginia last week in an area where they actually have paw paws growing wild. I was very disappointed not to be there when they were in season.)

Banana discourse is what led me to originally quit twitter.
(I was on the Malcolm Harris anti-banana side of that one. Time to rediscover the paw paw.)

any sane socialist world republic would end up sharply curtailing americans’ red meat consumption might still end up shipping e.g. bananas to places they’re out of season though (albeit more expensive, though maybe not by too much relative to consumption?)

Man I have biked by the coffin factory so many times. And it did add character!
Building apartments is better, tho.

I am very excited to be taking part in this event at the New School next month, on economic policy for a people's New York. It's a great lineup - if you're in New York, you should come. event.newschool.edu/goodj….

They estimate an effect on housing production in upzoned parcels in Gowanus on the order of 100 times larger than the effect in East Harlem or East New York. This seems plausible to me - zoning is more likely to be the binding constraint where demand is strong and rents are already high.

But at the end of the day, you have a set of estimates that have to be consistent. If you think the citywide impact of upzoning was +4,000 units per year, and the effect of the Gowanus upzoning was +6,000 units per year, then you must also think that the aggregate effect of the others was negative.

Also important.
I also suspect that in many cases it is easier/more attractive to convert from industrial use to high-density residential, than from lower density to higher density residential.
