A 10% difference translates to a lot of money for a middle class homebuyer. That’s often enough to buy a new car.

- cortesoft 5y agoA 10% difference here in Los Angeles would be enough to buy a house in many other parts of the country.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoYes that's obvious. Surely it's equally obvious that 10%, as an upper bound on the contribution of sealed bids to the problem, is not the main issue?
- otterley 5y agoI would refrain from using the word “obvious” since many things we believe to obvious are non-obvious to others. Better to explain your point clearly and with greater detail. The point I was making is that it’s too easy for us not to consider the implications to average or poor people of the proposals we make. It’s not that it’s the main point, but we also must not trivialize errors.
