To be precise: There are more people in dense areas and therefore more crimes occur, but there is a lower per person rate of crime victimization. — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy To the best of my knowledge every US jurisdiction with high population growth (DC for sure) does this at least sometimes. Enrollment exceeds the pace of construction and you can get trailers fast. — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkWhiteIA Do you know what the story is with this stained glass in the church? I recognize MLK, Gandhi, Pope John Paul, and I think JFK but not the others. https://t.co/dfAStlY5jS — PolitiTweet.org

Buonconvento is a very low-frequency station — if more trains came here it would of course make business sense to operate an in-station bar. But it’s a real estate asset to be managed for money, not an essential aspect of the train network. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

This is broadly the correct direction — modern technology has made station houses less important than they were historically and trains don’t work like airplanes. It’s absurd to have non-functional aspects of stations be a major focus for Amtrak. https://t.co/VN6gkfGlWI — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Trenitalia closed the station house permanently; tickets are available at vending machines or online and if you want a snack or to use the bathroom there’s a caffe across the street. https://t.co/sIaQf64tZz — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

The Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations have all been vaguely pro-nuclear and congress keeps passing slightly pro-nuclear laws but in mass opinion Republicans think oil & gas is better while Democrats are opposed. https://t.co/Sr2C6dl7zt — PolitiTweet.org

@lxeagle17 Trump is absolutely a party elite, I just think this is an example of mixed motives — he’s not *trying* to promote electable candidates, he’s trying to promote people who are personally loyal to him which is negatively correlated with being an experienced competent politician. — PolitiTweet.org

Getting married makes people happier, divorce or spousal death makes them sad. But it looks like on net it’s better to have loved and lost. https://t.co/1crdJex9Us https://t.co/rQo8XEdZFR — PolitiTweet.org

Important counterexample was the Democrats in 2016 who backed themselves into a binary Clinton/Sanders choice when they could have had any number of non-socialists who didn’t vote for the Iraq War. https://t.co/TlHUkCig7G — PolitiTweet.org

Party elites’ actual level of interest in trying to win waxes and wanes, but when they set their minds to it they’re usually pretty good at it. — PolitiTweet.org

To Hall’s point, the supply of state legislative candidates matters not just for state government but because state legislature is the entry rung for a lot of other political offices so it drives the whole system. — PolitiTweet.org
