I went to a small private university. Expensive, low SAT requirements.
I look at my friends post graduation (I want to be clear, I think these are amazing people) and I wonder how many of them the school actually helped.
Some structural reset might benefit the system despite causing pain and harm

This is the centrist pattern everywhere. Left groups see a real problem and identify a solution that would improve he lives of nearly everyone. A centrist says, “wait, that makes me uncomfortable! Even though the right’s plan will make lives worse for everyone, it also makes me feel good about me.”

She talks about how the left only heard “build” from build back better and how the urbanists say you need to deal with it if you think their buildings are ugly. Which is true, that’s the YIMBY response to NIMBYs

“Urbanists told me I had to deal with buildings I thought were ugly and therefore it is good Trump is knocking down the White House. At least fascists build things that I think look good.”

But it seems like your biggest actual complaint about the left is that you think the ideas of urbanists are ugly. You don’t engage with whether the ideas on the right or good or anything.
It is actually just a whole NIMBY article that doesn’t have the guts to say it.

My prior is that things can only pass congress right now if it is funded by major corps or massive public interest. The public DGNAF, so this reads money.
But whose? Why?

It’s not political leaning or style of government either. There is probably a fascinating article to be written about what they have in common.

I worked for a company that fired their (excellent) regulatory affairs person and hired someone who bragged about how she got a disabled placard for her car and would get one for everyone else that wanted one and I realized what they wanted from regulatory affairs and quit soon after.

Yeah, it’d be pretty cool to have an urbanist group arguing that we should reform our land use laws and build things that don’t need as much parking…

The near terms approach seems to be, “this is going to clog our cities further as these things ride around driverless - the only solution is…” and go on about the same things.
Which seems like a reasonable approach to me

I mean, that is the economist’s orthodoxy. Prices in general falling is a bad idea. Stabilize and continue at 2-3% is ideal.
Of course, that’s assuming economists know anything which … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
