The most *effective* pro-natalism isn’t positively preaching or chiding … it’s for young people to just see kids around: Sitting in high chairs at brunch. Playing in the park. Walking to school. It should be as unremarkable to see a parents pushing a stroller as it to see someone walking a dog That's why it's so important we make neighborhoods multi-generational

An important clip from that episode: Conservatives need a *positive vision* for cities. And that both includes making them for families … and to actually BUILD IT "There's a tendency on the conservative side to just critique when things go wrong in the City. Yes, crime is a problem. Yes, urban education needs to get better. But the best solution is to positively show what it would look like better. If we want other states or cities to see the disparities we should go pick a piece of ground and just build a ton of stuff that's nice quality, beautiful and well run. The best way to 'own the libs' would be to just build something awesome."

I believe, strongly, that the most *effective* way get more young people to have kids isn’t by preaching at them or citing dire statistics … it’s for them to just see kids around: Sitting in high chairs at brunch. Playing in the park. Walking to school. It should be thoroughly unremarkable to see parents pushing a stroller And it's *why* it's so important that we make more neighborhoods multi-generational

"Cities right now are built for demographic churn. They take ambitious young people in from all over the country. Those young people meet someone amazing, fall in love, get a great job ... and then they leave right when they're thinking about starting families" Megan McArdle

I'm puzzled why Ezra Klein keeps pointing to the project in SF as a good example. At best it's a slightly less bad The building cost less *per unit* (and were still $400K for 260sf studios) because they were smaller than units in other buildings. Not due to modular methods
