    If you think the solution to a long-standing problem is simple and people aren’t doing it because they’re stupid or evil you’re probably wrong

        Is the housing crisis in the Bay Area a "long-standing problem"?

        Rent in SF has gone up on average 6.6% per year since 1956:https://observer.com/2016/05/a-guy-just-transcribed-30-years-of-for-rent-ads/ …

        Yeah, what I'm getting at is the solution to the Bay Area housing crisis *is* simple and people aren't doing it for a handful of self-interested, narrow-minded reasons, some of which I *do* in fact consider evil (but your normative mileage may vary).

        You *really* need to read Inadequate Equilibria. It's basically about, when are you probably wrong in this situation, and when might you be right?

        Agree. I feel it’s ususally because the solution is very hard to execute successfully and people have either a) not tried or b) tried and failed without you knowing about it.

        I don’t think that the way to fix the DMV is easy—but I still think it’s a problem that should have been fixed by now.

        And i am sending this from Vermont. We have 650k people. Still have lines. An hour wait to pay taxes seems nuts when I should enter the vin, a picture of it , and then how much I paid with a signed affidavit.

        I don't know ... simple is really really hard. Maybe you mean trivial.

        It's not that they are evil, they are just captured playing a game where the logic of political survival requires ethically dubious actions.

        Nobody is mentioning an elephant in the room. A generation who represent a sociopathic anomaly. Literally google “anti social personality disorder” and tell me if that doesn’t apply to Baby Boomers as a generation. What do you do with a sociopath that has an incurable condition?

        Climate Change or Bay Area housing? If Climate Change, then the people not doing it are definitely evil (Trump & @GOP pols backed by fossil fuel money) or stupid (Trump & GOP supporters, voting against their own long-term interest.)

        That it’s hard isn’t mutually exclusive with people being stupid or evil
