      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Alan Cole

      Disagree w Alan here. A lot of people don't want to live in cities, even if they could have large apartments. There's so much to hate! * crime * diversity (but I repeat myself) * noise * litter * lack of parking * corrupt Dem machine politics * pollution * ...the list goes on.https://twitter.com/AlanMCole/status/1503919903040053251 …

      So ask them an alternative. Why not a 3,000 square foot place in Manhattan? They'll come back: "the 3,000 square foot place in Manhattan would run me $4 million. I can get the same size dwelling in Islip for $650,000." Ah. Got it.

      it is annoying me more than it should that the blue check econ does not, in fact, know what a revealed preference is. how does he know that if burb dweller had 4mil he wouldn't buy 4mil of suburb? he doesn't. idiot. revealed preference is *spent* money. not dreams.

      @AlanMCole isn't an idiot. He's arguing that there IS a revealed preference for basket A over basket B, but that doesn't mean that there is a revealed preference for item a1 over item b1. Which is both coherent and correct, IMO.

      I know he isn't an idiot, I'd just have him blocked. he's being one though. you don't like burgers more than steak, you like burgers *and ten bucks* duh, revealed preference. he'd be laughed out of the room if it wasn't property

      Except changing zoning codes has the potential to - in this analogy - make steak cost more like burgers. ...which is worth pointing out. Alan is saying that most people AREN'T considering the basket...nor considering the basket can be modified. IMO

      If this is simply the argument (he is free to correct), it looks like another example of what I like to refer to as the ceteris paribus fallacy. It's a narrowly useful tool that I see economists misuse when it suits their personal policy preferences.

      to some degree it IS ceteris paribus, but ... he's just calling people's attentions to the fact that baskets are baskets. So I don't see it as a fallacy. Imagine if there was a law that every gas powered car had a speed limiter at 25 mph, and someone said >>>

          "95% of people choose electric cars. That's revealed preference that electric cars are better / that's what they really want." a red tribe member might say "no, given electric-plus-no-speed-cap vs gas-plus-speed-cap, they prefer the former ... you have not proven your claim

          and I'd agree w that red triber that his argument was well formed - just as I'm agreeing w Alan who is arguing for cities (which I dislike) that HIS argument is well formed.
