I mean thiels policies are in effect in Austin Texas which is one of the few jurisdictions seeing decreasing rents.

  I'm sorry, the city run exclusively by Democrats and that went 68.7% blue in 2024 is using "Thiel's policies"? Since when? Which policies?

    Yeah, that's correct. Democrats aren't made the same. Austin has built the most housing. YIMBY-ism is just free market conservatism economic policy dressed up in liberal language. Most people vote based off of vibes, not actual policy. If you restate the case for YIMBY-ism in conservative terms, you get conservatives to vote for you and liberals shy away. If you restate it in social justice terms, then you get liberals, and conservatives shy away. Policy is the same. The people are stupid.

      His views are... a little more extensive than "build housing".
