Why We Can’t Have Nice Things with Ezra Klein

The next line, which is in bold, says, in summary, colon, states are nearly at the finish line. And it says, to stop their progress now, or worse, to make them go backwards, would be a stick in the spokes of the most promising broadband deployment plans we have ever seen. And seen.

AOC came out with a really big, ambitious public housing bill a couple of years ago. She's saying, look, the people who are all out there saying, the YIMBYs, et cetera, saying we don't have enough housing, they're right. But let's do a lot of it through public housing.

For me, I have to think of the need to deregulate the government itself. But it was made functionally illegal for the federal government to build public housing. It really can't do it. But in order for it to build public housing well, you would have to make a lot of changes to how it builds all across the board. because it layers so many standards. I mean, look at that rural broadband process.
