Sharply deteriorating mental health conditions for teen girls. People talk about this but it still strikes me as under-discussed. https://t.co/FBPPzwlKjC — PolitiTweet.org

@emre_mayo Right so what I said is that someone should tell the story of how the Cato Institute's line on zoning changed. Why did you respond to that with this derailing comment? https://t.co/q4sxGo3uaq — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@corey_lanum It has changed, that's what I'm saying. I know some of the story of how and why it changed, but there are other people who are better placed to tell the story. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

The people more directly involved in this than I was should write some day about the successful effort to YIMBY-pill Cato into promoting infill & upzoning and not just sprawl. https://t.co/pVLobvkIRJ — PolitiTweet.org

Sixty years ago the exact same standoff — conservatives in congress suggest abstract budget cuts, while the White House tries to bait them into explaining what specifically they want to cut. https://t.co/2y39WlAjQ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Batman —> Guy dresses up in a bat costume and fights crime. The Flash —> Guy uses super speed to fight crime. Superman —> Guy uses invincibility and flying to fight crime. Wonder Woman —> Lady uses invincibility and flying to fight crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe for my second or third sequel I would introduce the idea of time traveling and alternate dimensions, but the basic premise of "guy who fights crime by moving with super-speed" is pretty fun. Do a movie about that! — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

If I were making a Flash movie, it would just kind of have a guy who can move incredibly fast and he uses that ability to fight bad guys. — PolitiTweet.org

John Fetterman — who I'm eager to point to because progressives like him and he wasn't the moderate factional favorite in Pennsylvania — dodged that bullet and had a simple normie crime message. https://t.co/BPQPdDom7L https://t.co/AuDSA8potX — PolitiTweet.org

More money would have helped, of course, but fundamentally Barnes had a very well-financed campaign and Barnes + allies bought more ads than Johnson + allies. The problem was he flirted with "defund police" during the summer 2020 mania. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I donated to Mandela Barnes and encouraged Slow Boring readers to do the same. But I don't think this idea that he lost due to lack of money holds much water — his hard money advantage counted for a lot because candidates get cheaper ad prices. https://t.co/k9IAm3EKIC — PolitiTweet.org

@justupthepike The magic of agglomeration tends to encourage old segregation patterns to re-inscribe themselves over time even as the original cause becomes less relevant — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeMitchNH Exactly, people have lots of reasons to want to drive illegal cars around the city — which is why we should punish them when they do it so they stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Automated traffic enforcement is very good, but you need to be strict about license plate shenanigans or it won’t work. https://t.co/2gP4lkf1UO — PolitiTweet.org

They extend forebearance to people driving around with expired tags that aren’t that badly expired on the theory that people may be experiencing financial hardship, but I’m skeptical that’s what’s up with Mr BMW X7 here. https://t.co/y0sEIwxdGJ — PolitiTweet.org

I favor regulatory flexibility across all possible home sizes, but it's funny that a building featured at a tiny house trade show in America could be larger than the average home in Germany. https://t.co/9n3LCNpVZK — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

In general, the "junk fees" message is good populist rhetoric but they've also hewed close in the specifics to areas where there's a solid research basis for the rules they're proposing. https://t.co/hk9qrsDrka — PolitiTweet.org

Stopping carriers from upcharging families to be seated with their kids is different economically, but I think it's also good policy — a small measure to support parents & children. https://t.co/hk9qrsDrka https://t.co/NEgksqcPE6 — PolitiTweet.org
