Stores could build exactly as much parking as they want, based on whichever considerations they think are relevant. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Is this just another appeal to the impossible? How else do you plan for people to go to retail stores?

Yes, it’s “old-fashioned zoning” which is central planning. Every town in America has a little GOSPLAN deciding how many parking spaces a store needs and if it should change based on the size of the items the store sells. — PolitiTweet.org

An interesting question is how to think about situations like the cost of an mRNA vaccine where there is no formal price control but some set of considerations related to avoiding outrage or political backlash seems to prevent the price from rising. — PolitiTweet.org
