I think it is pretty plausible that the average condo resident in the United States of America circa 2022 enjoys higher living standards than a farmer in the Roman Empire — we've got television, antibiotics, tomatoes, eyeglasses, and a whole bunch of other good stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

@SpecialPuppy1 Gotta send them some more academic research proving that facially race-neutral conservative views on various things are in fact racist. https://t.co/iNLeBZkKSI — PolitiTweet.org

@Federalisten Sounds plausible. I think potentially relevant context for foreigners trying to understand the party video controversy is that coalition members may not be particularly enthusiastic about the current government. — PolitiTweet.org

@GarettJones As I said, it's a perfectly reasonable assumption. But I do think the strength of the correlation matters for what inferences we can make using WORDSUM data and it would be nice for someone to take a closer look at what the right answer is. https://t.co/OHrKu1P8jj — PolitiTweet.org

The parties of the Marin Cabinet combine for a majority in the polls, but the National Coalition would take first place in a new election. https://t.co/pPP1F5xOlK — PolitiTweet.org

Also if you happen to have access to a library that might plausibly contain a copy of Thorndike (1967) the internet would be interested to know what it actually says! — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Since we have a lot of data on WORDSUM scores over the years thanks to all these GSS waves, it would be really helpful for psychometricians to try to redo this work and give us a better understanding of this. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
tl;dr while the assumption that performance on a brief vocabulary test has some correlation to performance on longer and more robust intelligence tests is totally reasonable, I don’t think we have real empirical confirmation of that claim and certainly not a precise estimate — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
But someone who tracked down an even older paper cited in the 1980 paper found that the Thorndike (1967) paper is likely referencing work Thorndike originally did in the 1940s. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
That paper, in turn, cites an older paper Thorndike (1967) which does not seem to be available anywhere. https://t.co/4Lm8y9tRHk — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I sometimes see internet autodidacts saying WORDSUM GSS scores highly correlate with scores on more robust IQ tests but the main cite anyone has to offer for that is a 2010 @razibkhan blogpost that cites a paper from 1980. https://t.co/V9uV7m9AdE — PolitiTweet.org

@ebwhamilton @TheStalwart It fits our status as close to the coast but not genuinely coastal. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheStalwart It’s a good question — hope @katempenn or one of the other economists who’s looked at this in other areas will do a Virginia paper some time. — PolitiTweet.org

One big non-fake problem is parking. For DC specifically I have a proposal to turn that around and make parking scarcity profitable for existing homeowners. Don’t know as much about the details elsewhere. https://t.co/4tfaDTW151 — PolitiTweet.org

At any rate, I’m done arguing with leftists and just want to convince homeowners that upzoning has more benefits than they realize. https://t.co/RCRNEGqffj — PolitiTweet.org

That’s part of what I mean — growing your tax base with market rate construction is good and nothing that incumbent homeowners should fear. — PolitiTweet.org
Nilo Cobau @nilocobau
@mattyglesias The high density construction also pays a huge portion of the counties taxes.

@TheStalwart Well more people can afford to live there than could if the units didn’t exist. — PolitiTweet.org

Arlington County VA has done way more to allow for infil apartment construction than any other affluent suburb I can think of, and it’s hardly been bad for the county’s homeowners whose land assets continue to be very valuable. — PolitiTweet.org
