Recommending Ryan Avant

If you haven't discovered Ryan Avant's blog, you should.  Here's a recent gem:

"The two big challenges for fighting poverty are: 1) reducing, as much as possible, geographic segregation of socioeconomic groups, and 2) the tendency to choose affordability over proximity among the poor, which significantly affects expected income. The best way to do both these things is to tie housing construction and land-use to transportation options, and to improve low-cost transportation options.

"It’s absolutely possible that the best housing policy for the poor is to fund transit at an appropriate level."
