Nostalgia is such a turn-off

Late September update after the summer hiatus. I ponder what "won't last" can mean? A few weeks ago, T disappeared for a few days and people started to speculate... Would this count as "not lasting". I suspect a GOP rebellion or internal war at a certain point. Still 2/3 L and 1/3 M

Sorry, this is strawmanning yimby. In what universe does "yes in MY back yard" imply giving decisions to government technocrats?
September 2, 2025 at 2:20 PM
Yes, except supercharging investment by gov is not what yimby proposes. (And by the way, the quality of the UK housing stock is so appalling, that a huge investment is needed - not by government decree, but happening endogenously thru freeing up planning laws)

With the caveat that the differences within the UK are mostly demand-driven, due to the same planning regime. In the US, these differences are regulation-driven due to different zoning rules across locations.

Yimby should not be viewed as a demand for government investment, which could be distortionary. It is primarily a call for regulatory reform, which, properly done, is not distortionary, almost by definition.

People in the middle of these shouting matches imagine only they take part. But there is also a huge demand, completely invisible, from bystanders searching for answers for their own consumption. I know, we are free riders.

I assume you assume things will get back to normal in 3-4 years.

Even though it has its moments, the colour scheme is still garbage, and the y-axis is all wrong. I don't like it

What is this garbage?
