Yes, exactly. High waist was once casual wear for common folk, laborers, poor kids. Now it is seen as chic by the fashion-conscious and ignored by everyone else. The next cycle would be for it to catch on with the unwashed masses while being rejected by the fashionistas as passé.

Imo the most important stuff got codified. If Obergefell is overturned, you might have to go to a different state to get married. But the law says SSM must be recognized and respected everywhere, including the legal benefits that come with other marriages.
SteveBluescemi (@stevebluescemi.bsky.social) reply parent
Congress did codify gay marriage. They did so not long after Roe v Wade was overturned, anticipating Obergefell would be next.

I agree, but Moffatt's central claim is that people on the left haven't considered market concentration when they call to ban REITs etc. But the one paper he has cited specifically does so!
SteveBluescemi (@stevebluescemi.bsky.social) reply parent
Reading through this report, it's pretty clear August is squarely in the "almost everything should be social housing or owner-occupied" camp. Also, they explicitly call for strong anti-trust rules against rental owners. That contradicts your original characterization. Do you have any other example?

Using "future election credibility" as part of the calculus kind of falls apart when the other guy was credibly pledging to do away with future elections altogether.

If this isn't a strawman, name names! Where is this political faction advocating to ban mom-and-pops, REITs, foreign owners, while also being lassez-faire when it comes to corporate power?
SteveBluescemi (@stevebluescemi.bsky.social) reply parent
...in a non-dysfunctional housing market it's generally better fiscally speaking for people to rent instead of buy. If you take what you save on not paying mortgage/insurance/upkeep and invest it into an index fund, you generally come out ahead. The stock market outperforms real estate!
SteveBluescemi (@stevebluescemi.bsky.social) reply parent
You keep accusing the rental market of leading to oligarchy and concentration of wealth but rentals are, right now, in reality, owned by a diverse and competitive array of owners, and absent the supply shortage this competition would be pushing rents downwards. As for middle class wealth-building,
SteveBluescemi (@stevebluescemi.bsky.social) reply parent
(I also hear those calls from lay people who are simply misinformed about the causes of the housing crisis and not for any particular ideological reason, especially the calls for a foreign investor ban)
SteveBluescemi (@stevebluescemi.bsky.social) reply parent
Not from the "more people should rent" camp. I think you're conflating two groups on the left: 1) hard left: everything should be social housing or owner-occupied; renting is exploitative 2) market left: renting is a good choice for many and should be abundant I hear those calls from 1 but not 2
SteveBluescemi (@stevebluescemi.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't know anyone of the pro-renter persuasion who doesn't want a large, diverse, competitive field of owners, whether that be REITs, mom-and-pops, co-ops, or (many) corporations.
SteveBluescemi (@stevebluescemi.bsky.social) reply parent
This is where your post turns into a total strawman which conflates a bunch of different people with different positions. I really don't think there's anyone anti-REIT and anti-mom-and-pop but somehow pro-corporate oligopoly!

Probably like a billion dollars up front, another half billion per year for operations/services. Which is a lot but likely less than the cost of policing, hospitalizing, loss of business/tourism, etc. that we currently expend on the same people.
