Gio posted:i think chapo got a couple things wrong about matty. i dont think he gives a drat about influencing important people in power to take seriously his dumb ideas. matty was born in the Hot Takes Factory. he’s a contrarian. he just wants to think he’s smarter than everyone else, which is why he comes up with extremely idiosyncratic ideas no one else is thinking of. This makes a lot of sense and I think we all know how the absolute dumbest decisions always come from the guy who desperately needs to be the Smartest Guy In The Room. Also reminds me of lovely writers who see feedback to their work and hastily change all their plans if anything correctly guesses what's happening next because they need to surprise people.

YIMBYism as it exists in San Francisco seems to me to be like half the libertarian 'let market solve problem' weirdos that Chapo was making fun of, but it also is just a lot of well meaning people trying to counter rampant NIMBYism. They support injection centers and homeless shelters that would otherwise just have 1000 local residents at the hearing saying that building the thing in their neighborhood is the greatest travesty of all time well them and the DSA dodgeblan has issued a correction as of 14:12 on Sep 7, 2020 |

edit: Whoops, I didn't realize that I was 4 pages behind when reading the posts I'm replying to hereWeembles posted:There's nothing about YIMBY-ism that is agains subsidizing things and there's thing about it that limits it to single-owner people hives like you described. The reason that subsidized housing and rent-control aren't more common isn't because roving gangs of New Urbanists but because the left is just too small or too lovely at politics to get those policies passed. These things are only relevant to whether one group of well-off people get what they want or another group of well-off people get what they want. YIMBY-ism might make things a bit better for some high income renters relative to people who already own property in an area, but actual low-normal income working class people aren't going to be able to afford the housing either way. So it's basically a red herring (at best) that diverts attention towards something that isn't a real solution. MizPiz posted:You went to school with Meg McArdle? If it was McArdle her idea would be to hook everyone in a plane to IVs and, if the plane is hijacked, inject them with adrenaline. Gio posted:i think chapo got a couple things wrong about matty. i dont think he gives a drat about influencing important people in power to take seriously his dumb ideas. matty was born in the Hot Takes Factory. he’s a contrarian. he just wants to think he’s smarter than everyone else, which is why he comes up with extremely idiosyncratic ideas no one else is thinking of. When I was a child I had the idea "what if you put a metal thing in a tube lined with magnets and then pushed it with said magnets and made it go THE SPEED OF LIGHT" and upon finding out that this is similar to how particle accelerators worked decided that I must be a genius Matty is like if you took that feeling and just became more and more confident in it throughout your entire life. Because he was endlessly rewarded for everything he's done during his life, he was never forced to realize that he isn't actually smart. Elon Musk is similar.
