Some people think that new construction generates so many improved amenities that it actually *raises* nearby rents — an idea that if true implies cities have the ability to unlock a perpetual motion machine for economic growth. https://t.co/IRZz8tzVJb — PolitiTweet.org

@spencerknoll Take a deep breath. Try to clear your mind of anger. Say to yourself “I am going to read the tweet again and before getting mad about the tweet I am going to check to see if it actually says the thing I am mad about.” Then take another deep breath. Then read the tweet again. — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of what passes for political arguments on here reminds me of how we used to talk about music — who’s a poseur, which bands are real punk, is it cringe to watch MTV blah blah blah — PolitiTweet.org

You want to talk politics? Read up on the Oregon Medicaid lottery studies, tell me if you think it’s legitimate for climate-focused EPA rulemaking to mostly cite non-climate co-benefits to OIRA, develop on opinion on chained price indexes. — PolitiTweet.org

When I was younger we had this shared cultural understanding that politics was this really boring thing that uncool tedious people argued about, and you could just go do something else if you wanted to have interesting or entertaining discourse. We have to go back. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s this vast domain where people espouse various ideological doctrines but don’t offer any opinions about taxes, Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid — people just playing some other game that only loosely relates to my understanding of what politics even is. — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting paper on the politics of zero-sum worldview — I wish they’d been able to look at politics over time, my guess is that Obama/Trump swing voters are highly zero sum but I’d love to know for sure. https://t.co/ELer6qAYrD https://t.co/VC53CKdHAh — PolitiTweet.org

None of that would be wrong — I can’t think of any major undertaking that didn’t feature its fair share of hypocrisy and sanctimony, of over-zealous partisans and opportunists etc But I just think it goes to show the gadfly role has its limits. — PolitiTweet.org
