The sitting mayor of Pittsburgh and his associated activist groups are currently trying desperately to pass new growth controls in Pittsburgh to "combat gentrification" before the Mayor leaves office. Pittsburgh is currently at or near its lowest population since before 1900.

Watching Texas run circles around blue states is so sad.

Urbanist lobbying against Waymo is a purity-themed suicide mission to convince normies that anti-Waymo advocates are out of touch (and unserious about Vision Zero—"no wait, don't end road deaths like that!") Advocates should build a transit-supportive wishlist for Waymo's tech

So much of the ambient mediocrity of the American city is bc local politicians that you wouldn’t trust to run the ops of a small cafe make planning decisions about billions in infrastructure. We should deregulate it all, it’s too important to leave to bureaucrats.

Thanks to tariffs (esp re: Canada), US aluminium prices are now roughly 50% higher than in Europe & Japan, thus putting US manufacturers at a competitive disadvantage. Heckuva industrial strategy.
I can guarantee that almost no one in search for affordable housing owns and drives an EV. Has Imelda Padilla ever met someone who seeks or lives in affordable housing?

I've been praying for years NIMBYs would get so bold they'd make the arguments they make in City Council chambers on a large public platform. Thank you, CM Padilla, for honesty. Now everyone can see why Los Angeles has the most homeless people of any city in the developed world.

I desperately want my elected officials to talk about our housing emergency the way Jon does in this clip.

This is such a massive indictment of Pittsburgh. We have negative population growth, yet our rent is still growing faster than places like Austin, TX, the fastest growing city in the country that's building dense housing at a breakneck pace without anti-housing policies like IZ!

As a housing supply zealot, you might occasionally worry that you're caricaturing the anti-housebuilding impulses among elected officials. It's is a worry best addressed by a five minute conversation with one of them, where you'll discover it's much worse than you'd believed.

Padilla represents the dying performative bs faction of the Democratic Party where results don’t matter as long as it’s for ~reasons~. Friedman represents the future - good governance, pro-abundance, and results-driven policy.

As Pittsburgh gears up for a hearing about citywide IZ, this seems particularly relevant. Just legalize building housing, or else people will move to the places that do (Texas, for example)

Abundance works and Austin is ground zero. You can literally just build more housing.
It's worse than that: this year, Texas and various other red states doubled town, passing quite a lot of clean pro-housing legislation. city-journal.org/article/home-p…

Also Dems talk about democracy ALL WRONG It’s just worship of institutions, process, and precedent—“Trump is breaking The Rules” There’s no message of “Trump is stealing your agency. He is silencing your voice. He wants to make you a serf.”

“Trump is trying to illegally take control of the Fed so he can force it to print money to finance his reckless tax cuts for billionaires, imposing an inflation tax on Americans and making everything you buy more expensive.”

If only there was something we could do about this.

Maybe this is the moment that people realize that if they're anti-"transplants" they're just actually anti-immigrant. We should welcome new neighbors to our community with open arms, always and unconditionally.
