I'm currently reading The High Cost of Free Parking by Shoup. Even Houston gets this wrong (really wrong). We require lots of parking which makes the buildings further apart and then complain about all the traffic.

Yes. That's why my comment was pretty limited. Same thing that Paul Krugman has been saying for 20 years. Zoning regs increase housing costs. Where I live, they've introduced height restrictions for all new apartments. I don't like that. If we don't build up, then we have to sprawl.

Do you have a list of the top 20 cities for highest per capita homelessness? No incentives needed. Just let developers build.

Those experts are mistaken. Homelessness is generally lower in red states cities.

Ironically, the anti people focus more on Night as an issue which is solvable with a modest battery. And don't think about winter.

Excellent point. Yet many continue to say that the market is too short term focused. There is randomness and NPV. But the market is not overly fixated on quarterly earnings (except to look for indications of changes in the long term outlook)

I think this goes back a while. I believe FDR said that the Monroe Doctrine applied to Iceland. Glad to be told I'm mistaken. Just read this in America America by Grandin.

Wonder if I can buy one in Canada then drive it into the States? Even if I have to garage it for a year it would still be a steal.

From 2009 to 2022, we had to listen to the incessant "it's all just the zero interest rates". Mostly the same people saying from 2004 to 2007, "house prices will crash once those ARMs start having to pay higher rates".

When I lived in Germany, they reported quarterly numbers. Q3 Gdp was x% more than Q2's. Reader could annualize in their heads if they wished

Another example. All climate articles use Celsius. Use Fahrenheit if you want to have an impact on Americans. I'm comfortable using Celsius but still react more 4F than to 2C. It's kinda like $6 is more than $5.99.

I totally agree with your on this.
One that kills me (though it's different) is that after every Fed meeting, they report on the Fed funds rate even though almost no interbank lending happens at that rate. They don't report the rate paid on reserves which the Fed actually pays out on trillions.
