This is a good paper paper from @DonaldShoup on frictions of land assembly and graduated density zoning to incent cooperation.
But what if we looked at reducing non-usable floorspace (second stairs, corridors & large elevators) to reduce the threshold for "buildable" lots?

Ugh … I’m formally committed to moderation and political pragmatism now but it still kinda seems to me that personal cars should be completely banned from Manhattan — just deliveries, tradespeople, a fleet of accessible taxis, and plenty of busways and bike lanes.

There’s a faction on US Twitter that insists we could have had Xi Jinping’s Covid policies if not for David Leonhardt and Emily Oster.

Widespread protests against the zero Covid policy on university campuses and city streets across China. People gathered to mourn the victims who died in a horrifying fire tragedy Thursday and protest the inhuman policy. Don't think I've seen anything like this since 1989.
