Which is not a knock on Singapore per se, urbanization is great! I'm the One Billion Americans guy. But I think the main lesson is that normal rich countries underinvest in metropolitan growth. — PolitiTweet.org

Singapore is obviously a great development success story but I also think kinda overrated in these comparisons because it's a city-state. The Ile-de-France is way richer than the France average — same for London, the Bay Area, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

This is why we need open borders and unilateral free trade, but we should require that takes be manufactured domestically by licensed take-slingers with a master's degree in journalism and 1,500 hours of practice posting (current practitioners exempted of course). — PolitiTweet.org

This is where 90% of immigration economics conversations run off the rails. In a non-migration context it's uncontroversial to observe that limiting entry into a field does help incumbents in that field, but if you restrict entry into every field you get poorer not richer. — PolitiTweet.org

Some people can get rich by cartelizing a sector of the economy (tariffs on imported softwood lumber, onerous licensing for pilots, ban manufactured housing from certain neighborhoods) but it certainly doesn't follow that a society can get rich by cartelizing everything. — PolitiTweet.org

@drfarls It's honestly a very strange system. — PolitiTweet.org

The funny responses here are the people explaining to me that it's wrong to give Biden credit for this since it's really all thanks to the SPR drawdown. — PolitiTweet.org

@JeremyRedfernFL What's the relationship between NYC's "sanctuary" policies and the asylum-seeker issue in your view? — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy We’ve done this dozens of times for years. I describe a policy to expand immigration to sub-national areas that desire expanded immigration and then you decide to get angry and yell at me, while misdescribing the proposal. It’s exhausting. — PolitiTweet.org

Was trying yesterday to convince someone that if he really thinks we’re going to have high inflation “for a long time” then current mortgage rates are low not high and he should go buy a house. Didn’t work. Inflation expectations are fake. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I think we need more focus on bringing *geographical* selectivity into the immigration system. These places with ultra-low unemployment rates would benefit from more workers and there should be a way for communities to opt in (or out) of that if they want to. https://t.co/bt8SZjvhj7 — PolitiTweet.org

Note the salience dynamics here … immigration-related stunts don’t need to “work” in order to help Republicans by pushing abortion off A1 and getting asylum stories on instead. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s always much less reporting in the US media on Mexico than seems warranted — things that happen there often have a very direct impact on events in the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a serious problem but also a somewhat predictable consequence of some short-sighted decisions Dem leaders made around some of these GOP primaries. — PolitiTweet.org
