What’s interesting is a lot of people have the intuition that people are more mobile these days when it’s actually the opposite — despite cheaper airfare and much cheaper telecommunications, Americans have become less likely to move. — PolitiTweet.org

In general I think “why is Switzerland so successful?” is an underdiscussed issue — being a landlocked, multiethnic country full of giant mountains doesn’t seem like a promising starting point. — PolitiTweet.org

It was good to hold a congressional vote on marriage equality precisely because it separates out the substance of the issue from all the hand-waving about the founders — what we learned is that the vast majority of congressional republicans are against it. https://t.co/5CT4iOYS8j — PolitiTweet.org

“Taking Covid seriously” at this point should be acting with more urgency on vaccine development, not endlessly clinging to 2020-vintage non-pharmaceutical interventions. There are big opportunities to speed this up. https://t.co/YJDtA6C5BY — PolitiTweet.org

@bobbibarn @ggwash @jenny_schuetz I’ve always understood the Height of Buildings Act to be a bigger deal for office development than residential, and office demand is in the toilet right now. But I favor changing it regardless. — PolitiTweet.org

Urban living is undersupplied even though it’s also true that it’s a minority taste — as if we banned Pepsi in most jurisdictions and said it’s fine because people prefer Coke. https://t.co/7jr2rD6BLm https://t.co/N5hcmExFI1 — PolitiTweet.org

@kwcollins I agree about the PAC and the need for a more straightforwardly “political” posture. But I also think that starts with organizing the issue space because we don’t have a villain like Erlich. — PolitiTweet.org

Broadly upzoning DC would unlock a massive amount of economic surplus that could easily be used to leave everyone better off — our local political debate needs to start thinking bigger. https://t.co/7jr2rD6BLm — PolitiTweet.org

Interestingly this was a pretty widely held view at the time. Franz-Ferdinand’s support for transforming the dual monarchy into a triple monarchy with a “Slavic” sub-unit was seen as provocative and destabilizing. This was the NYT analysis. https://t.co/Ng0oqwAoLi — PolitiTweet.org

Then we need to address the non-fake reason people oppose new construction — parking. Reform the RPP system to stop issuing new ones while giving incumbent permit-holders the right to sell theirs. Turn parking scarcity into a financial windfall! https://t.co/7jr2rD6BLm — PolitiTweet.org

In the DC context, I think there are two concessions that should be made to left-NIMBYs: — Let the poorest neighborhoods opt out if they want to — Let neighborhoods impose a modest inclusionary zoning requirement if they want to https://t.co/7jr2rD6BLm — PolitiTweet.org

Gratton, Guiso, Michelacci, and Morelli argue that the big corruption scandals of the early 1990s generated a surge of badly written laws that paradoxically made the state function worse. https://t.co/PEtk3cdbqD https://t.co/pDW7k77dwX — PolitiTweet.org
