The article isn’t fully accurate. For example old growth is not more knot free. That depended on a lot of factors. Maybe the wood used for windows was more knot free but that is a different matter entirely. Here is a counterpoint article:

Have you noticed that all the projections used to justify the cost of adding more lanes to roads are always wrong? Maybe there is some economic growth but almost never enough to justify the cost of such sprawl.

Political grandstanding--Graham compares guns to social media, except somehow skips over the idea that guns are actually designed to kill. How many people are killed from social media use?

Honestly, there are so many places where art absolutely is terrible. If AI generation can make higher quality art more accessible to more areas then it is a huge win.

Detroit has blight. LVT addresses property speculators that buy land to sit on it for 10 years and do nothing with it. With LVT they have to either pay up, develop it, or sell it. All options good for the city.

People want their home to be an 'investment' and rules get created to protect the investment and keep home prices going up. This is the natural result of those policies. In a world where supply can keep up, home prices are stagnan
