    I like it that states can compete to be the best governed. Competition may be exactly what the SF city and CA state governments need right now. Except I worry they may be too complacent even to notice that they have competition.https://twitter.com/rabois/status/1355167968926330881 …

        thesis suburbs are comparatively well run because there is more competition you can easily move from Evanston to Winnetka much harder to move from Chicago to NYC

        I honestly don't understand the infatuation with Miami. Slide into a place that has a giant hurricane target? I feel like people who talk up moving to Miami have never had to live in the aftermath of one. Grew up in Florida, 2004 was my last straw.

        My worry is they’ll just be glad people are leaving. If the district supervisors don’t view that as a bad thing, they won’t have a reason to change their policies.

        Great step 1 would be moving city conference calls from WebEx to Zoom 🙏🏻

        I am surprised competition between states actually works to some point, there are no actually good incentives translating state well-being to decisionmakers one.
