The New York Times just ran a piece arguing that the only way to solve America’s housing crisis is to embrace sprawl: build outward, fast, and without hesitation. This is the logical conclusion of the extreme YIMBY take: “Just build. Anywhere. Everywhere. As fast as possible.”

Joe Rogan and Bridget Phetasy discuss how being strictly Republican or strictly Democrat is dumb: Phetasy: “First I watched everyone on the left lose their minds and then people on the right lost theirs, I was having the same conversations with both of them saying, ‘it’s gonna be fine, it’s not the end of the world.’” Rogan: “The only people that make any sense are the ones that aren’t on either team. People that say things like ‘as a conservative,’ it’s like your a human being don’t say it that way and don’t think it that way. Don’t put yourself in a group. There’s probably a bunch of stuff that the left agrees with that you would agree with too. You can’t be against ideas because you attached them to the enemy.” This is so important! We need to end this tribal thinking. You can be a pro life left leaning person. You can be a pro Palestine right leaning person. Don’t group yourself into aligning specifically with everything one political party believes. Believe what you truly believe, and take the bits and pieces from whatever side of the political spectrum you want.
