At first I thought I would totally disagree with @suzanneblier.bsky.social when I saw this headline. But after reading I think these are reasonable suggestions. I am very much a #MAYIMBY but it’s not a silver bullet and we need to be open to solid critiques of new and very ambitious policies.

@govmaurahealey.bsky.social @massago.bsky.social @mayorwu.boston.gov This is how we fight back and win - #MAYIMBY. Thank you @mattyglesias.bsky.social for your clear and thoughtful arguments. Clearly this is the better way. #MAPoli #BosPoli #Abundance open.substack.com/pub/matthewy...

Struggling here - anyone reviewing this paper? Is the way to think about this that all places allow single family building and they are measuring impacts on single family homes? But we should be thinking about making apartments illegal and the implications for rents? @mattyglesias.bsky.social #YIMBY

My copy arrived yesterday. I don’t love the cover but I love the opening chapter. The rich description of American abundance is exactly the inspiration I need right now. Thank you @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social @dkthomp.bsky.social - Anyone else reading right away? Book club to discuss?

share.libbyapp.com/title/2766628 Just finished this and cannot recommend it enough. After listening to #MoneyBall because of my kiddos love of sports I decided to give this one a listen too. A wonderful distraction from the insanity of the day. #EconSky #BehavioralEcon @michaellewis65.bsky.social

Just putting this here. Hopefully someone will be able to reason with Trump/Musk/Republicans before widespread suffering sets in for all of us.

This analysis could not be better timed for my class in #UrbanEcon. We’ll discuss after spring break. Thank you @mattyglesias.bsky.social! @mayorwu.boston.gov - I keep thinking that now is the time to bring city workers back to the office. Anyone have data on this? open.substack.com/pub/matthewy...

💯If we want to protect democracy we have to show that it works. If we in #Massachusetts want a say in our national politics we have to make space for people here AKA #BuildMABuild #MAYIMBY Thank you @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social - so clearly phrased. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

🫶 Maybe will convince my students (or even my mayor @wutrain.bsky.social that #CongestionPricing is a good idea) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

open.substack.com/pub/natesilv... A nice piece thinking through #CongestionPricing drama from #NateSilver538. Really hoping rational thought wins here - but not holding my breath. Maybe as backlash other blue cities will decide to adopt congestion pricing? #BosPoli

Great article to spark conversation about bike lanes in my #UrbanEcon class. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/18/l... And also a great empirical question that I don’t know the answer to - I’m pretty sure answer is ‘it depends’ on the city and an on the bike lanes.

So grateful to my amazing civically neighbors for rushing to support JFK library. Makes me feel a little more confident we will weather this storm. If anyone is home looking activity - they re-opened and due to short staff, admission free today. #BosPoli #MAPoli www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/19/m...

I think this is the most compelling argument I’ve come across to try and convince MAGA types to end their war on Universities. I wish major outlets would frame many criticisms of Trumps actions in this light. Trump weakens American innovation. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/17/o...

Where’s the #MAYIMBY conversation on this? @somervilleyimby.org? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/22/m... I wish @bostonglobe.com explained that yes side of this flier IS the rendering produced by developer….

#RentsaretooDamnHigh - but we don’t want softening to come through declining demand. Anyone speculating about causes? #BosPoli #MAPoli Nice quote from @jasonfurman.bsky.social - building is easier said than done. #MAYIMBY

So much upsetting news but this seems so directly in contrast to Trump’s pledge to increase jobs - I don’t get it. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/21/s... Seems worth fighting for @massago.bsky.social @govhealey.bsky.social Channeling @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social -we need #EnergyAbundance #MAPoli #MAYIMBY

Trying to keep my focus local in turbulent times - @scottvv.bsky.social small survey of Boston.gov response rates seems like a great place for me to learn more - anyone have national data on this? Goal of 100% response rate from all city agencies within 24 hours seems like a good target. #BosPoli

I was feeling really good when @mattyglesias.bsky.social stated that electric grid in #NewEngland is already greener than Texas or Florida and then looked at map to see that #Massachusetts is the yellow exception. What did we miss? How do we get to dark green? #MAPoli

Great response to #EdDombroski by #RosalindGreenstein - both not on this site. I think maybe will be the motivating intro for my class this semester. Wholeheartedly agree ‘We need regional solutions to regional problems’ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/16/o...
