Whats notable about this Austin rent trend is that its coinciding with massive tech worker growth. Illustrating that it wasnt a given an in-migrarion of tech workers into San Francisco would lead to non stop rent spikes for 20 years.

Did you know that if we used a TBM for the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway most of the Union workers wouldn't be from Southeastern Pennsylvania. That's because we have a lack of expertise, but if we built Cut and Cover and Elevated Rail our local Unions can and will do that work.

Wasting $10.7 billion of taxpayer dollars on foolhardy highway expansions is the definition of poor public policy. I strongly oppose the misguided Turnpike widening and would allocate this funding for our mass transit infrastructure. Read more: nj.com/opinion/2024/0…

Did you know that a modestly-sized townhouse development next to a high-frequency transit station is illegal under Pittsburgh’s zoning code? My first blog post at @ProHousingPgh explains the details and provides a story about my failed apartment search in that very neighborhood!

Moreover, if California just straight up copied Texas' housing policies and its tax policies, it would be a **far more** progressive state than it is right now. California talks a big game, but it's actually extremely conservative with policies that shrink inequality.
I have said this over and over and over and over again: if California adopted Texas' housing policies, it would become a completely unstoppable economic powerhouse. It would be eating Texas' lunch. California actively chooses to make itself poorer, to satisfy rich NIMBYs.

Technological progress induces a disproportionate and inefficient allocation of resources towards rent-seeking activities, reducing its impact on economic progress, from Vincent Glode and Guillermo Ordoñez nber.org/papers/w32359
@AaronGuhreen All California, or really most blue states, need to do to surpass Texas, by far the most successful red state, is just make it easier to build stuff. CA and other states like it have all the economic fundamentals that Texas is desperately trying to build from scratch.
Texas is booming. They’re creating jobs, increasing wages, building green energy, and keeping housing prices in check. All things that California claims to want. Yet we continue to implement policy that achieves the opposite.
There is so much liberal and left-wing coping about how successful Texas is. Texas is growing like a rapidly developing third world country and they'll claim the "Texas miracle" is over because one company closed down its Austin headquarters and Tesla fired some people
