Proud YIMBY. Work: energy. I used to write about baseball and talk into microphones. I like to ride bikes.

.@jamie_rod from @BusinessInsider wrote a great article on my work with @stanveuger and Danny Shoag on the urban wage premium and housing costs. You can read it here: businessinsider.com/cities-losing-…
The published version of "Moving to Density" is now available @JPubEcon! We document that non-college workers now face a housing-inclusive urban wage penalty. Thanks to my co-authors, @stanveuger and Daniel Shoag, for working with me on this project. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Warms my heart.
Just a few years ago, if you’d asked the leading political scientists & thought leaders whether YIMBY ideas would be advanced by a figure like Obama on a national stage, they’d have laughed you. Clear evidence for the power of (correct) ideas.

Requiem: The Death of Outdoor Dining (Brought to You By NYC City...
A tragedy in thousands of acts playing out across the city. You know, City Council could fix this…
The death of great public space continues as @NegrilBK demolishes its popular outdoor dining space (left in its heyday). Coming soon: space for stored cars that do no good for the public at all.
Steph’s hoodie saying “night night” in French 💀
Yes. So nice to see the Daily News be this explicit.
The @NYDailyNews Ed Board on how to make NYC a more family-friendly place: “So what’s the answer? It starts with building housing so there are more affordable places for families to live.”
“Building more of every kind of housing — single family homes, apartments and mixed-use buildings — will expand supply and lower costs.” - @GovWhitmer (D-MI)
“In large urban metros, the number of children under 5 years old is in a free fall. From 2020 to 2023, the number of these young kids declined by nearly 20 percent in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.” New York is losing families, and our housing shortage is to blame.
"We’re debasing ourselves as a legislative body to provide cover to a clueless governor," one source in the Assembly told @HellGateNY. "Congestion pricing is a law & you can’t just ignore it because a poll made you nervous. What are we even doing here?" hellgatenyc.com/hochuls-conges…
Not sure I've ever seen a more scathing comment from the normally staid Independent Budget Office
Still true at 11:13.
Live people are still picking up at @CarlHeastie's office (if only to transfer you to voicemail). 518-455-3791 #CongestionPricingNow! The legislature shouldn't bail out #CongestionKathy's debacle.
I can't think of a single policy priority today that would more effectively address economic insecurity, inequality, and climate change all at once than a major effort to build more (and denser) housing in America.
Yes. Also, yes.
People are being priced out because we don’t have enough housing. Let’s fix that.
Seems like a really good way to hurt people.
SCOOP: City Hall orders non-profit shelter operators and homeless services providers make cuts to already approved budgets/contracts. Suggestions in memo sent by DHS include increasing case loads, slashing weekend/evening hours, 'consolidating' staff -- nypost.com/2023/06/14/nyc…
Salute to a fellow Toby
An all-time great football moment. Toby Alderweireld joined hometown club Royal Antwerp last summer, as he always promised he would. Tonight, he has won them their first league title since 1957 with this incredible strike vs Genk in the 94th minute!
Good deep look at impact of expiring 421-a “Housing Development in NYC Slows to a Crawl.” @andrewdfine has the best quote about the property tax system in NYC “broken, inequitable, regressive, and frankly, idiotic… no one’s willing to fix it” gothamgazette.com/state/12024-no…
Maybe we should build more housing?
New York City is staring down the worst affordability crisis of the last two decades, according to a new report released Tuesday. The study is the latest piece of evidence to demonstrate the depth of the issue, which is reshaping demographics and culture. trib.al/AMeGBDE
If the reports are true, Albany’s failure to address the housing crisis in the State budget represents an unacceptable abdication of responsibility that will leave New Yorkers struggling. [1/6]
Transit equity and fair housing policy go hand in hand @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @GovKathyHochul Everyone who wants be a NYer should be able to but w/o more housing, it's impossible The #HousingCompact is our best shot – let’s open New York’s doors gothamgazette.com/130-opinion/11…
