I like him because he thinks Poland is not broken, even though he thinks that for wrong reasons - he imagines that it is because of industrial policy, even though Poland did not really pursued such

wait, is there a constraint on the number of places that can be broken at a point in time?

I guess it depends on how segmented these markets are and what new construction happens and where. Probably different in different cities

Still, it should be at least ambiguous theoretically - I can see why supply of old housing may be restricted but supply of new housing should increase

How does it decrease supply?

Not sure if Warren would say "majority foreign owned," but Sanders definitely could. Otherwise, zero difference.

I know him and used to respect and like him, so it is very depressing to see all of it

Now, corporate taxes are not tariffs, firms are not countries, and pass through can take different forms (his claim was very large effects on wages), but he is very much aware how incidence works and that it is unlikely to just show up in profits

Who's saying that primary didn't serve it's purpose? It is just that his leading opponents were known to be corrupt and disgraced, actually both

Nobody can accuse me of a self-serving bias!

You are not from NYC, are you? Have you seen the leading candidates? Adams and Cuomo...

"wildly popular" with -12 net favorability

Over 1/3 of people don't vote even in presidential elections

My issue is with the hype of the left that imagines and claims that they are much more popular than they are. Hence, the complaint about using "wildly popular" when all they've done is sneaking in a minority candidate through a dysfunctional primary. You can talk about other things to someone else
