Some pretty fascinating data from a newish @EvanMast2 paper—
1. Of ppl who move into new construction market rate buildings in Chicago, 58% are from the city and 73% are from the city or suburbs
2. Of city people, vast majority are being pulled from north/NW sides

Towns build less housing after switching from at-large to ward voting. Just Accepted new paper, "Warding Off Development: Local Control, Housing Supply, and NIMBYs" by Evan Mast (@EvanMast2). zcu.io/dpWO

All of these deaths must be blamed on the Mayor and the city representative for the neighborhood where the killing took place.
They have the power and the funds to build safe streets, they know it, but they’re more afraid of angry drivers than dead children.
The girl’s father, who was following on his own bike, said his wife was “crowded” between the semi and the ComEd truck.

Does anyone have a cleaned version of the GSS with metro or state level aggregates of key questions going back to 1970? (my previous data begging on twitter has been so successful I figured I'd try again)

Does electing a city council by districts, instead of citywide, make it harder to build housing? This study says yes: research.upjohn.org/cgi/view…

Finally, while city decline has gotten more attention lately, our paper is focused on the related trend of rapid Black suburbanization. To see how large this movement has been, compare the distributions of Black population in LA census tracts in 1970 and 2018. 7/9

Black population decline in large cities has gotten a lot of press in the past few weeks. For example, see this excellent article in Politico: politico.com/newsletters/the…. @evan_mast2 and I have a recent paper that examines this decline and related patterns. 1/9
