Reposted by S.H.Ned Resnikoff @resnikoff.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Something that has become very clear to me from working on housing and urban policy more generally is that a lot of people — including a lot of professional advocates — think that there's a way to do policymaking without any tradeoffs, and the existence of tradeoffs means you did something wrong. 271090179

Reposted by S.H.28 Days Lehner 🪦 @danlehner.bsky.social · 08/12/2024one of the problems with prioritizing a cool aesthetic in politics is that hope is never cooler than despair — by nature, being emotionally disaffected and distant is the foundation of “cool”. Works great if you’re, like, Miles Davis, less so for, say, organizing. 623061
S.H. @upzoneca.bsky.social · 07/12/2024it would probably be quite a bit more than an extra 1% (at least in the united states), but the main issue is that there are a lot of people who believe that the existence of any scarcity whatsoever in the provision of healthcare services is a lie 050

S.H. @upzoneca.bsky.social · 07/12/2024yea i mean that's basically the idea behind something like universal catastrophic coverage (which most economists like), but the problem is that for universal catastrophic coverage to work you also need some way to pay for the cheaper, more routine treatment 130
