While failure to extend the subsidies will be a tragedy for millions, it may be better for the country to experience the full weight of Republican governance going into the midterms.

I oppose the peso swaps; it was a political decision for an ally and not obviously in our economic or strategic interest. But for it to cost 40B the peso would need to go to 0. The budgetary cost could--in the end--be modest.

Kiss and Ride (and parking) is what you build when you have a terrible walkshed. With I5 on the west, and low-density single family in the remaining half you do this or (ideally) fight for a massive up-zoning. Or sneak this in and then argue for up zone.

I see the argument that we should support transit in part because it provides good union jobs. I always wondered if that was compelling to an undecided voter, but here a transit union leader can't even be bothered to support transit. They really do think its just a sinecure.

I wish this were true-I converted my 3 bedroom house back to its original 4 bedrooms, but I've run a ton of hedonic regressions, and often, when controlling for total living area, the coefficient on bedroom count is negative including 3 cities in our recent paper:

One of the Democrats' challenges, is that they believe government can help improving people's lives. That tends to attract wonks that think a lot about policy. R's want to "shrink government so it might be drowned in a bath tub" so they attract marketing types that live only to campaign.
