These days, everyone up to Mamdani is against defunding the police. Good for him and good for everyone else. But if more people had been willing to be pain in the ass contrarians in the spring of 2020 maybe we could have avoided this whole dead end. slowboring.com/p/ive-been-rig…

Matt Yglesias didn't invent YIMBY activism but I'm pretty sure that when I visited Sonja Trauss in 2015, she told me Matt's work inspired her to become a pro-housing activist.
