Zohran Mamdani’s policies will (mostly) not bring abundance to NYC

  1. What is Noah Smith’s opinion on industrial policy bringing abundance to the US?

  2. He’s the exact candidate Klein and Thompson complain about. Notionally supports abundance but only if dozens of requirements that satisfy rent seeking interest groups are met. So nothing gets done.

    That said he’s not a crook and seems to be open to creative policy ideas in the city. NYC stays undefeated in picking the worst candidates.

    Abundance wasn’t coming anyway. NYC is slowly turning into a millionaire’s playground why would they want to disrupt that

  4. Someone claiming that they want to increase the supply of housing, while at the same time wanting to add a rent freeze is not interested in more housing. It’s Darth Vader energy. I have altered the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further.

    The logical response is to either not put any apartment for rent at all.

    Yeah, dude models himself after SF progressives, the literally enemy of abundance.
