I think the rub is that what you propose is not politically feasible. It may or may not be objectively a great idea, but we live in a democracy and the moment you do something overtly that causes pain for enough of the voting population to matter, they will just vote in a different politician who will reverse the policy.
- dionidium 5y agoYes, I'm very pessimistic about democracy's ability to address the most important questions of our age. We're paying an enormous productivity price, locking young people out of access to the best places to live, and we're dealing with it on a timeline that's totally unresponsive to the scale of the problem. And what's so maddening is that it's a totally invented policy problem.
