Enjoys a good applied micro paper. CEO of @open_phil. Views my own, tweets self-destruct every once in a while.

Strongly agree with the conclusion of this @mattyglesias post - more people should be funding the YIMBY movement. (And we’re happy to be a resource to any other funders who’re interested!) Still early days but wracking up impressive successes left and right.
