Contrary to popular belief around here, SF is not a model city of perfect living. How about SF solves its homelessness problem?
That's a misread. The claim is that "big city dwellers" have obviously been there the whole time.

Everyone talks about how the CHIPS, IRA, etc. purposely invested more in red states, but they don't talk about the mechanisms that made that happen.
I would be curious
Why is consumerism the metric here, and not general societal health?
Cars are bad, but there are far more people driving a car than working in the automobile industry. The former has a better claim to societal health than the latter.
When Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, KIA, etc came, and Detroit turned into a zombie city, did it help?
Well, I can admit that Ford learned from Honda quite a bit, which could be readily seen in their Focus line. Is it their fault that consumers stubbornly want the likes of F-150 or Chevy Suburban, which are not even proper cars?
We also need pigouvian taxation to make the $100,000 pickup and SUV crowd suffer, yes.
Our car industry has been told to get its shit together and failed or not even tried so many times.
It's times to just let in BYD for a few years and just slaughter all the incumbents. I don't care what we do after that. But a bloody reckoning is sorely needed.
If I my plug my friend and colleague's work, https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/unstable/#modular-services has just landed in Nixpkgs.

So, it's good time to be experimenting with things like Nitro here!

That's the downside of depending on regressive income taxes instead of taxing assets, capital gains, dividends, etc sufficiently.
What it needs is more property tax aga, or better yet, land value tax.
The right way to think about "jobs" is that we could have given ourselves more leisure on the basis of previous technological progress than we actually did.
