Relapsing on my social media habit. I want to see a robust victorious leftist movement in the US. Big Tech hasn’t had a good idea since Usenet.
The chart shows Labour’s support cratering over the same time period in which they’ve tried to adopt more reactionary policies, to gain support.
So… I’m not sure what you’re proposing as a theory for how politics works?

I’m with the others, block ‘em.
Don’t let them cheapen your work by stealing your valor, even if their stuff seems pretty anodyne so far.

At some point people somehow got the misunderstanding (on both left and right) that we wanted to be bureaucratic commissars, and not proponents of just government.
The goal of left politics is the common good. That has to come before all ideology, and “rules shouldn’t be stupid” is a good start!

Honestly to improve people’s lives in American cities you will have to piss off: merchant associations, some labor unions, neighborhood associations and some liberal nonprofits.
If you’re unwilling to piss all of these people off at different junctures you’re not fit for public office imo

Proud NYC YIMBY here who’s deeply opposed to both military deployments & ICE raids.
The point of YIMBY is to create space in our cities for everyone to live. Driving people out of our cities—whether by state violence or by refusal to accommodate them—is antithetical to this goal.
Hope that helps.

The New Yorker has always been pretentious in insisting on using it, but it is in fact correctly used in the linguistic/orthographic sense, so I don’t think it’s the same category as the metal umlaut…

Love that point in the video when the photographer zooms in on the “Black Ice” air freshener tree hanging from the rear view mirror.
Did the goons ask for that specifically do you think, or just a lucky coincidence…

It’ll be as painful as it is necessary; & the necessity doesn’t mean we should deny the impact.

They aren’t. They report to a director who he got to appoint but has no power to remove.
Unitary executive theory is just as false for Illinois state government as it is for Trump/Vought and the federal government. And Pritzker doesn’t have a Supreme Court that’ll rubber stamp anything he does.

Well, I admit I’m unclear the distinction you’re making when you say “limited, helpful solutions”—is that helping or solving?
Anyway, I read others as saying that Harris tried this messaging & it didn’t stick. Whether for policy reasons, credibility, or hostile media environment idk—probably all 3?

Yeah I’ve been super encouraged by the efforts that have happened in Minneapolis. But boy howdy has the backlash has been rough…
I’m hoping though that we’re building the political will to break the logjam at the local level & things are finally starting to move.

Right! OP already said it (even though he’s not accepting it)—there’s no easy federal solution for this issue. It’s part and parcel of the intentional design of the constitution to create barriers to effective action on land use.

You mean $25k for existing homeowners, since that’s who’s going to pocket it.
(No amount of extra incentives can let everybody win musical chairs, and if these places weren’t supply-constrained they’d be affordable already.)

None of this gets better without ending local control, bad zoning, & the incumbents’ veto over new, denser, construction.
But existing residents will poison your dog and threaten your kids if you propose reducing parking or building so much as a duplex in their inner-ring suburbs, so…
