That “supply” has been branded as a “libertarian” concept by a faction of the modern left would have Soviet economists (not even to mention Marx) ripping out their eyeballs. https://t.co/ksht7H7GN4

@PippengerHarlo Another way of looking at this, housing is a political vehicle for libertarians seeking to sustain an economic school of thought that is otherwise going out of favor. I suspect as housing markets become increasingly concentrated, the failure of that thinking will be more obvious.

I'm still bothered by this story about the adjunct who got fired for showing a picture of Muhammad in a global art history class. (The picture was by a Persian Muslim in the 14th century.)

In 80s sci-fi anime there's often a giant ominous tower that looms over Tokyo, and I'm glad that Tokyo is finally building some of these.
