The perversity of the argument is using the history of urban renewal, which bulldozed apartments occupied by people of color, to block new apartments that could possibly house people of color in a mostly white, rich neighborhood.

For the past several decades in a row, we have moved into progressively larger, more expensive (even adjusting for inflation) homes that make us isolated, depressed, sedentary, and financially strained — suburbs could easily be studied as a public health problem

Suburbs (and more generally, living in too-large, spread-out homes) is extremely bad for humans in nearly every way — we did a video on the subject and I was blown away by how damaging it really is

On some level, we all understand how much better life is when people don't have to drive to work. Overheard: "We have a car, but I can walk from our new place to my office." "Oh how WONDERFUL. That is just so nice." Yes. It is. Now let's use public policy to make it standard.

When trickle down housing supply becomes trickle up, it's time to build more units

"One reason the American dream has come apart is that too few cities have shared their resources—and real estate—between the rich and the rest." But progressive fiscal and land use policies make Minneapolis unique. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

@Econ_Marshall @alexbaca @KateAronoff @DanielDenvir Adding more density & height /= willy nilly deregulation. Please go drive your straw man to a different burb.

Oh fun it's been a while since I pointed out that the concept "single family" housing is part of a plot to define "family" along cishet WASP lines and eliminate household structures preferred by queer people and a variety ethnic minorities, send tweet.

We effectively tax new housing (which we don’t build very much of) to create affordable housing. Meanwhile, we protect financial returns on existing housing to the fullest extent possible, even making those protections inheritable. latimes.com/politics/la-po…

@alexbaca Simultaneously: "Congestion pricing and paid parking are regressive taxes on commuting that hurt our poorest most," and "Buses are polluting engines of Big Oil," and "Apartments don't belong in our neighborhood because of shade and the construction emits too much CO2."
