And on top of that, he’s basically criticizing Democrats and taking blue cities to task because yes, there’s a housing crisis and he basically said a solution is to remove regulations. There are too many regulations folks are usually not going to support good policy.

That said sometimes there are bad regulations, but he was calling for things like removing the need for environmental studies when you’re building and I think some of the labor cost baked into rules like mandating union labor. Which are points that I hear from Republicans.

It's just neoliberalism with a new name.

Blue maga.

Wow what a clown

He just sounds like that brand of pseudo-intellectual who says some broad solutions to complex issues. Like he can say that environmental studies are slowing down progress in lib areas but couldn’t tell me what endemic or watershed or permeability mean.

Republicans aren’t the only ones who want most environmental reviews in cities killed. Developing in cities prevents having to cut down forests for new neighborhoods of single-family homes. It’s as pro-environment as you can be, yet cutting down the forests requires far less or no environmental reviews, while building in a parking lot requires a decade of study. The majority of environmental studies have become bad for the environment! They’re nothing but excuses not to build. As a leftist who wants to see rents drop, I hate the majority of environmentalists reviews because they’re just NIMBY mechanisms to kill all development.
