So, we’re almost at the end of this podcast w/ Ezra Klein & Ta-Nehisi Coates & here’s my conclusion: Coates has kindly been gentle parenting Klein all through this, but the problem is, Coates is having a moral conversation while Klein thinks this is politics bc he has run out of moral imagination.

Shit you like to see

TLDR: A new paper is arguing that a low supply of housing isn't what has driven higher prices in cities in the last 20 years, but rather rich people moving in. This is a BIG deal because most work suggests that prices are driven by supply primarily. May need to update a chapter in #TheDoubleTax. 👀

They got married and Dwayne, predictably, went right back to talking crazy to Whitley! Why? Bc he didn't actually want her, he just didn't want Byron to have her.
