What I think happened in Minneapolis is they made a relatively modest policy change and it resulted in a relatively modest expansion in housing supply. If you made bigger changes or if more places made them, the impact would be larger. — PolitiTweet.org

I am happy to be Conor's straw-YIMBY here and say that I think it would genuinely be a panacea if every jurisdiction eliminated all land use restrictions on all residential parcels. I think housing would become *dramatically* more abundant under that policy paradigm. — PolitiTweet.org

This is why I’m skeptical YIMBYism is a panacea — whatever mix shift it leads to will be favorable but I don’t know… https://t.co/NrZJiGj0Ya

I'm at a coffee shop in Foxhall right now where a townhouse that's not very large sells for over a million bucks. I think even under tough financing conditions people would build midrise apartments here if it was allowed. https://t.co/yCuuX9VLk7 — PolitiTweet.org
