A comment I posted to Noah Smith's blog,
on the subject of "Econ 101ism":

    What I like are the discussions of San Francisco-area real
    estate that act like it's engraved in stone that the answer
    to high rents is "build, baby, build!".  You could also take
    the view that if San Francisco is really popular, instead of
    trying to *fix* San Francisco, you should try to build more
    places *like* San Francisco.  Suburban low density is assumed
    to be inviolate and obviously all you need to know is
    supply-and-demand, and some people just don't get Econ 101,
    and oh you silly elitist NIMBY you.
