Houston, a land of a great many HOAs, is so far from a Madmax Building Hellscape but it behooves everyone in the debate for various reasons to act that way. Mostly what we do here is pretty mild, all told
I got into an eight month fight with my HOA over the height, material, and location of a fence on an empty property that I own.
Stiglitz can get fucked on this one
"Building what you want on property you own is a unfreedom to people that don't own the property" Yeah no shit Sherlocke that's what it means to own something
I just can’t get over the fact that his whole argument is nothing more than that externalities exist, as if Pigou didn’t write about that a hundred years ago. Can’t we say more on the subject at this point? Could we, I dunno, say something about the actual calculus of the real world?
