I haven't catalogued things I've changed my mind on very well, if at all. In an effort to do that, I'm going to post whenever I think I've changed my mind, it should help me keep track and it will be public.

Max Dubler on the necessity of senior government intervention to build housing

www.maxdubler.com/blog/2025/11...
• Replacing dozens or hundreds of bespoke local ADU standards with a statewide baseline of relatively clear, permissive rules about what homeowners can build gives homeowners clarity and flexibility. • Uniform standards also make it much easier for ADU professionals to work across multiple jurisdictions. • Guaranteeing speedy, by-right approvals gives homeowners the confidence to invest thousands of dollars into pre-development expenses. • Empowering a state agency with the authority to enforce these laws gives homeowners somewhere to turn when local governments drag their feet or don't follow the rules. • Advocates can identify issues bubbling up at the local level and implement statewide fixes, rather than attempting to fight hostile local bureaucracies one at a time. (Notably, Marohn has supported state-level parking reform on these grounds.) • And finally, state legislators are more receptive to pro-housing arguments because they answer to larger and more diverse electorates than local electeds. Having them efficiently solve problems does not represent a failure of local governance, but rather shrewd political strategy.

Just got back from a trip to Japan. Went to most of the big cities and some rural places as well. A few observations before I forget them:

- lots of elderly folks biking and walking around, cleaning and tidying outside.

- nearly everyone at a healthy weight and very very few very fit
