Isn’t abundance just Atari Dems 2.0? What are the differences?

Like with focus on housing regulation instead of labor bc labor’s already deregulated/crushed

M&U introduced me to the Weiner doc & the episode on it is probably one of my most re-listened early episodes. I want A Second Look At Weiner so so so bad. I think about that doc literally all the time.

I always get confused with the way people use NIMBY to simultaneously mean “people who think the homeless should be in jail” and “maybe rent increases are bad”, but I remember my brother claimed a decade ago that The Lego Movie was a YIMBY manifest (“BUILD!”) and I find that extremely funny.

YIMBYs deserve the death penalty. They’ve managed to trick otherwise progressive and decent people into believing that the only way to decrease housing costs is to build more. Absolute ghouls.

Anyone know the episode number where they discuss the weiner doc?

I paused this during my workday and watched it 10 hours later. Best decision I made all day.

Very late to the party, but 'The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3' is by coincidence of fate, my 'Michael & Us' film--in the sense that I saw it at a young age (my father had a VHS recording taken sometime before we even lived in the United States), and I watched it probably ten times over the course of my childhood, and after revisiting it as an adult (or at least an undergraduate after immigrating to the United States), was shocked how entertaining it still was an began to spread it like gospel. It's one of the oldest American films I own on bluray disc, alongside the much-more-predictable 4K trilogy of 'The Godfather'. I quote it to my American friends, knowing full well they probably haven't seen the film unless I showed it to them, even in the most abstracted contexts (e.g. me describing a new 'Star Wars' film, "I got it, Han. They're gonna' fly the star destroyer to Cuba!" "You're sick, you know that?") and I fully believe it to be the most "New York" film I own. I was ecstatic to recognize Martin Balsam, just a few years younger and in black and white, in 'The Bedford Incident' (recommended to me by a friend who'd served in the navy before school and knew of my love of Donald Sutherland). So this was definitely an episode for me, and one I didn't even need to rewatch the movie for (though now I do want to).

Alan Grayson was another Dem firebrand in the same vein as Weiner but without the weiner.
