> Can you think of any reasons we would want to slow down growth if it gets out of pace? Do you understand basic economics on the matter because it seems to me like growth isn’t being set via policy levers, it’s the job market which seems to thrive despite or at least orthogonally to local public policy choices. In fact that’s the real problem. I'm assuming GP is referring to policy that affects population growth specifically - such as antiquated zoning restrictions that were made under postwar suburban growth mindset and a lack of expansion of high quality public transit. Superstar regions tend to be quite pro-growth with regards to jobs, almost by definition. Can you imagine if starting a new business in the bay area was as onerous as starting a development on a new apartment building? Your entire seed round would go to hiring lawyers to appeal the zoning board for an exception, and your series A to fight off subsequent legal challenges by the community.
