Trump’s not big on the Burkean conservative governance principle of subsidiarity is he?

Quite a micro manager if you ask me.

I’m fine with it just so we can get it off the table as an excuse not to solve the real problem which is it is effectively illegal to build housing in most jurisdictions in the US.

Does that have to do with Mamdani?

[jon-nyc]

He supports all these policies and ironically tried to fight a bankruptcy sale of some housing assets to a landlord he didn’t like by arguing that the business wasn’t sustainable because of these policies.
