Gavin Newsom has netted 1 million votes *just* out of the early/mail vote in Los Angeles County! The NO is ahead there 76% to 24% out of the 1.8 million mail votes that just reported. (Biden won 71/27 here.)
@Taniel -- Wed Sep 15 01:19:07 +0000 2021
Keep an eye on Iowa right now: the Democrat for a hotly contested GOP-held seat has a narrow lead in the special election. This would be a pick-up… but 25% of precincts remain to be counted (and the election website seems to just have gone down).
@Taniel -- Wed Sep 15 03:55:43 +0000 2021
The next two were already the most suspenseful, according to the polls, so buckle up for next week.
@Taniel -- Wed Sep 15 03:34:45 +0000 2021
Gavin Newsom leads 67% to 32%, with 7.7 million votes counted. The @AP estimates this is roughly 57% of the expected vote... which makes recall as close to a mathematical impossibility as is possible within 35 minutes of polls closing... but it hasn't called it yet.

Oho, San Francisco just showed up & bested Alameda. 88% to 12% there for Newsom so far, among 245K early/mail ballots.
@Taniel -- Wed Sep 15 03:22:21 +0000 2021
Alameda Co. (Oakland) is giving Newsom one of his highest percentages so far: the NO leads there 85% to 15% (with roughly 325K ballots counted). This will tighten since these are earlier ballots... but Biden won here 80/18. Democratic-leaning voters showed up for Newsom.

The degree of algorithmic bias is less clear. Certainly, there are many ways that bias can enter the process, & the norms of the industry are insufficient to prevent it. e.g. Not all the vendors break out the predicted effect of scholarship strategies on minorities/genders/etc https://t.co/Prb3IEe49Y
@AlexCEngler -- Tue Sep 14 15:48:47 +0000 2021
Giving the minimum aid that entices a student to attend college often isn't enough for them to succeed. Perversely, the vendors know this more than anyone - they have the data and models. One executive told me they often know “that kid shouldn’t come” https://t.co/62sbZeasKU

NEW: lots of news recently on waning immunity against infection, but a study has now landed from Public Health England on how vaccines are faring against *severe disease & death* This chart summarises key findings, but the paper is a real goldmine, so let’s dig into more detail: https://t.co/9wAiax8poJ
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:48 +0000 2021
And crucially, the study also breaks down protection against hospitalisation by underlying health conditions, which brings us to a key finding: • Among those without severe comorbidities, there is actually very little waning against severe disease, if any. Both for Pfizer and AZ https://t.co/ypyyxPJHPe
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:31:22 +0000 2021
2) Vax supply (and uptake) in developing world is not straightforward. Huge part of it *is* about wealthy countries buying and donating doses to less fortunate. But it’s also a thorny logistics question, and I don’t think we spend enough time & energy addressing that.
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:55 +0000 2021
To conclude: • Most people, especially younger adults and people in good health still have excellent protection against severe Covid, and do not urgently need boosters • Boosters could save the lives of many older and otherwise vulnerable people (and reduce hospital pressure)
@jburnmurdoch -- Tue Sep 14 19:49:08 +0000 2021
Me at 8am: I'll just do this quick chart and then head into the office Me at 8:45pm, nine charts later, backpack still on the table next to me: oh
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:51 +0000 2021
Now onto the broader discussion: • We can clearly see that not everyone needs a booster. For most under-65s, and even some healthy over-65s, protection is still holding up very well • But for those with serious underlying health conditions, boosters could make a big difference
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:45 +0000 2021
Sticking with symptomatic infection, they also looked at a hot topic: the impact of the interval between first and second dose Very short intervals (3 weeks, e.g in US) produce lower protection than longer intervals (e.g UK & Canada), though note overlapping confidence intervals https://t.co/YwT6XI0adf
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 12:42:53 +0000 2021
@doritmi Indeed, and why AZ's suitability for a wiser range of conditions is to be applauded
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:31:22 +0000 2021
Now with two injections (sorry) of nuance: 1) I don’t think it’s helpful to think of vaccine supply as a zero-sum game. Vaccine manufacturers respond to demand, and it’s not as simple as booster doses being diverted from Africa
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:31:21 +0000 2021
One side-note: I’ve talked a lot about how the rush for boosters in rich countries feels ethically dubious given the number of developing countries still seeing record death tolls [in their largely unvaccinated populations] https://t.co/qzN6X4v3WN I still hold that view, but...

@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:55 +0000 2021
And on that note, the always-excellent @mugecevik has a fantastic diagram here demonstrating how the more time passes, the more ways there are that estimates of vaccine efficacy can be biased (in both directions), which is always worth keeping in mind https://t.co/ufk9jc9rCW
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:54 +0000 2021
• Second, it’s critical to remember that if a VE study doesn’t make sure its unvaccinated control group have all never been infected, its estimate of vaccine-induced protection will be biased downwards because of the level of protection that previously-infected people have
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:54 +0000 2021
This is important for two reasons: • First, it shows infection-acquired immunity plays an important role in protecting a population from the virus (but no: don’t go out and try to get infected)

• By Jul/Aug, waning against infection meant case rates among over-60s were almost as high among double-jabbed as un-jabbed • But rates now plummeting among boosted cohort • 2-dose protection was still solid against severe outcomes, but boosters have strengthened it regardless https://t.co/oJ6WXr1cyJ
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:53 +0000 2021
Recent data from Israel compares protection from a booster shot to a range of other scenarios including protection from infection (both along and on top of vaccine): https://t.co/mM8baYvct8
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:53 +0000 2021
Other things to note: • Israel may have had a bigger waning problem than e.g the UK because of its shorter dosing interval. PHE paper would support that theory • Similarly, short dosing interval may be a factor in how bad US’s Delta wave has been (tho low US vax rates also key)
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:51 +0000 2021
Here’s the full preprint paper https://t.co/lNKsHnpGon I’ve also transcribed as much of the data as I could from the tables in the paper, in case that’s of use to people (please tell me if you spot a transcribing error!): https://t.co/HEFqEnSuEA https://t.co/0fI53X9mp1
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:51 +0000 2021
On that topic, what do we know about how boosters themselves are working? For that we can turn to Israel, where the data looks very promising...
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:49 +0000 2021
Finally, the researchers looked at efficacy against death, and again the results are good news. • Very little waning for Pfizer, even among elderly • Only modest waning for AZ, and still 80% protection at 5-months-plus since second dose https://t.co/O84KJVcOnB
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:48 +0000 2021
Even among over-65s, if you don’t have severe underlying conditions, you still get somewhere between 80% protection (AZ) and 95% (Pfizer) relative to an unvaccinated person even 5 months after your second shot.
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:46 +0000 2021
Now protection against hospitalisation: • Much higher than against infection 💪 • Pfizer shows very little waning apart from in very elderly • AZ shows slight waning, but still holds up well at 80%+ for adults after 5 months (and note big conf ints around the last 40-64 point) https://t.co/BwsyQusZCh
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 11:21:44 +0000 2021
First up, fresh data on protection against symptomatic infection. Key results: • We knew protection started out lower among older groups. Now we know they also see the most waning • Waning much more muted (if happening at all) among under-65s • Moderna > Pfizer > AstraZeneca https://t.co/N9JM2wlsKc
@whippletom -- Tue Sep 14 10:52:51 +0000 2021
Oxford vaccine ditched as a booster. It seems it's more complicated than that Pfizer is "better", though. If anything, having had oxford first then Pfizer second may be the optimal outcome (this is mixing 1st and 2nd doses, not a boost) https://t.co/8pfFciOLWz https://t.co/U5ae9dexRA
@jburnmurdoch -- Wed Sep 15 13:39:40 +0000 2021
Addition to thread on protection vs severe disease: As Jeremy notes here, doesnt look like any of waning slopes for severe disease are steeper than slopes for infection, meaning protection against severe disease *once infected* may not be waning at all... https://t.co/8GUDjthY6o

This is a shame, but make no mistake about it: Much like with the Landmark Sunshine theater on East Houston, we're losing the Grand Prospect Hall because the local Community Board wouldn't permit the former owners to build a revenue-generating hotel on the site.

It's funny to me that some people say "just sit in the ticketed waiting area" when I mention the lack of seating in Moynihan. Have you tried that yet? It fills up if there's one (1) scheduled train departure coming up. Forget it if it's during peak hours. Not enough seats.

@2AvSagas @thecitywanderer Becca is right, it's not going to Moynihan. Nor is it going to an elevated walkway that goes to Moynihan. If I had to guess what the Moynihan thing is about, I'd say that the High Line folks convinced Cuomo that this is a Moynihan project, and this is leftover press from that era
@MarketUrbanism -- Tue Sep 14 22:57:23 +0000 2021

@thecitywanderer Yeah I don't get the 2nd clause: "into Brookfield's elevated public space on the north side of 31st Street, which terminates on 9th Avenue directly across from the Farley Building and Moynihan Train Hall." It's elevated where the bridge will land...then it goes to the sidewalk

@gonglei89 @trublion92600 It's not a dick measuring contest, but these comparisons are helpful, because if you tell me "we can't have a metro area of 40 million," then I'm going to point you to Japan. If you tell me "we already have a metro area of 70 million," I'm going to say that's not true

@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 19:25:54 +0000 2021
@gonglei89 @trublion92600 To put it another way: people commute every day for work from Kobe to Osaka. Not super common, but it happens enough. Almost nobody commutes daily from Hangzhou to Shanghai. Some people likely make frequent trips, but these cities are not within daily commute distance
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 19:21:59 +0000 2021
@gonglei89 @trublion92600 (Is there even a rapid transit line between Shanghai and Hangzhou or Suzhou? This is where Chinese transit is not good – there are subways and there's HSR, and there's nothing in between. Whereas Japan has an extensive main line rapid transit network.)
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 19:20:32 +0000 2021
@gonglei89 @trublion92600 Japan is going to beat China on rapid transit times every time, so that's gong to make the comparison look even worse. (China will sometimes beat Japan on HSR trip times, but HSR is not used for commuting – it's too expensive.)
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 19:16:59 +0000 2021
@gonglei89 @trublion92600 Shanghai to Hangzhou is 160+ km. That is not the same metro area...Osaka to Nagoya (which nobody considers the same metro area) is less than that

@trublion92600 @gonglei89 Japan has two megacities (the Tokyo area and the Osaka area), China has five (Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Shenzhen, Chengdu), despite China having more than 10x the population
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 18:11:46 +0000 2021
@trublion92600 @gonglei89 Japanese transit is definitely superior to Chinese transit, but China could learn from Japan and improve its transit (especially making greater use of legacy main line rail, which in Japan is subway quality but in China is basically useless for commuting)
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 18:10:35 +0000 2021
@trublion92600 @gonglei89 The correct comparison is probably not India – which is a low-income country with an extremely inept public transit provision – but Japan. The greater Tokyo area has almost 40 million people, whereas the Beijing and Shanghai areas are both around 20 million

@M_C_Klein Making the same point — let the market work: increase land supply in regions where people want to move to — don’t try to artificially determine population patterns. Tier 1 cities are good, make more of them https://t.co/g0gSDOMy9L
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 12:05:58 +0000 2021
@M_C_Klein The solution is to... let the market work! Push up land supply where there is greater demand, push down land supply where there are population outflows. Promote secondary home sales! https://t.co/9q08YxktNv
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 12:05:28 +0000 2021
@M_C_Klein Shanghai is a good example -- residential land supply is <20% of total land supply and has been falling for the last 15 years https://t.co/Y2SrIJffmj
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 12:03:03 +0000 2021
@M_C_Klein Much of this is from the last cycle, but it still applies today -- land price growth is highly correlated to land supply growth. Many Chinese cities -- especially Tier 3/4 -- have fairly low home prices vs incomes due to lack of price growth last 5 years https://t.co/nWpzxEaHsO
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 12:01:37 +0000 2021
@M_C_Klein They should be promoting a healthy secondary market instead of snuffing out transaction volume through heavy-handed interventions -- it's massively counterproductive.
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 12:01:19 +0000 2021
@M_C_Klein Also, you *have to promote existing home sales* -- China's housing market is massively unbalanced. New homes are 75%+ of home sales vs. 5-15% in every other market -- that is crazy. It's the reason household leverage keeps going up.
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 12:00:15 +0000 2021
China *does* in fact need significant primary home construction in urban areas -- particularly quality Tier 1, 2 cities -- and for that the local government should be releasing a lot more land and not worrying about home price declines
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 11:59:34 +0000 2021
The vast majority of Chinese housing stock was built pre-2000 -- it is of low quality, shared housing, rural housing etc. Modern urban housing stock built post-2000 is only 20bn sqm of GFA -- 26bn including inventory. That's only 20 sqm/person -- 'normal' is 40-50 sqm
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 11:59:06 +0000 2021
But, perversely, due to the promotion of housing as an asset class and capital controls, these cities have been restricting land supply despite very high local home prices due to fears that prices could fall if they released more land (impacting future land revenues)
@MarketUrbanism -- Wed Sep 15 11:58:51 +0000 2021
So, I am of two minds here -- I think the problem is actually not the real estate investment per se, it is the land price. The truth is that housing is *undersupplied* in major Tier 1 and 2 cities -- that's where the population flows are https://t.co/6lf9mm9slU

@drorpoleg NYC won't shrink because there is sooo much demand to live here at rents above opex, but the people who'd like to live here but didn't pre-pandemic were by definition not willing to pay as much as the people who were living here. So it'd be quite disastrous for property values...

No the Newsom recall is not a wakeup call for Dems. it's a function of crazy rules and people who are mad that there were restrictions during a pandemic they help perpetuate. How DARE their profits go down during a pandemic! How DARE he shut anything down! Feh.

It is hard to compare *corporate* tax systems across countries, but I am not sure you should include a country's VAT in the equation. VATs exclude investment and are destination based. They don't suffer from the same "competitiveness" problems as a corporate income tax.
@kpomerleau -- Wed Sep 15 19:58:40 +0000 2021
@George_A_Callas @InternationlTax Yes. My point put differently: you can imagine shareholder taxes being part of a firm's cost of capital in an entirely closed economy, but that doesn't reflect the real world.
@kpomerleau -- Wed Sep 15 14:39:06 +0000 2021
Maybe a minor point, but level of profit in a given year is not necessarily an indication of a corporation's size. One of several reasons why a graduated corporate income tax is poorly targeted.

The big 2020 economic story was a huge blow to *market* incomes as the most vulnerable workers lost their jobs BUT this was more than offset by an even huger progressive policy response. https://t.co/NIlEZ2HXSl
@jasonfurman -- Tue Sep 14 14:22:53 +0000 2021
This was well understood by anyone paying attention last yr, the massive scale of the assistance in 2020 was larger than the labor market losses. Overall the poverty rate reached a record low in 2020. It will be even lower in 2021, but will bounce back somewhat in 2022. https://t.co/91zDJASPwM
@jasonfurman -- Tue Sep 14 15:42:27 +0000 2021
I never liked the "K-shaped" recovery narrative because it only told 1 part of the story. Middle/lower-income saw: 1. Biggest initial market income losses. 2. Fastest subsequent market income gains (but not enough to make up for 1). 3. Biggest after-tax/transfer gains.
@jasonfurman -- Tue Sep 14 13:23:42 +0000 2021
Finally, your inflation scorecard. Predicting inflation for 2021 is no longer particularly interesting because it just entails predicting four months. But FWIW, it would required a sizable slowdown in CPI to even hit 5% for the year (down to 0.12% monthly readings). https://t.co/rKkVwwed4y
@jasonfurman -- Tue Sep 14 13:23:41 +0000 2021
Overall, the most important and under appreciated story remains just how different the U.S. and European experiences with inflation have been. https://t.co/94IayPpyND
@jasonfurman -- Tue Sep 14 13:23:40 +0000 2021
One month's data doesn't settle the issue. A big issue remains what happens to shelter prices. Both rent and owner's equivalent rent rose 0.3% in August, a lot of reason to believe that will be faster in the future (and it remains well below trend). https://t.co/jkeykonZEG
@jasonfurman -- Tue Sep 14 13:23:39 +0000 2021
Inflation from February to July was extraordinarily high: core CPI rose at an 8.0% annual rate. We always knew that inflation would not continue at an 8.0% annual rate. The question is will it slow to something like 2% (the Fed's view) or something meaningfully higher (my view).
@jasonfurman -- Tue Sep 14 13:23:39 +0000 2021
In August some of the temporary factors driving up inflation went into reverse either because they had overshot the mark (used car prices -1.5% in Aug & car and truck rental -8.5%) or because the delta resurgence temporarily dampened prices (airlines -9.1% & hotels -3.3%).
@jasonfurman -- Tue Sep 14 13:23:39 +0000 2021
August CPI is out, most benign headline reading since January... but in a reversal from previous months the underlying trends were somewhat worse than the headline. The underlying trend many have focused on was about the same as previous months. https://t.co/AxQbnc9uAE

Criticizing @AOC’s (fabulous) dress is also “performative” and doing nothing to immediately improve the material conditions of the poor, actually 🤷🏽‍♀️

I guess if I were to architecture-crit the dress I would say something like it's all surface and symbol, what about form and process etc.

We should worry that Bidenism could turn into a big corporate giveaway w disappointing results. (See @GeorgeMonbiot's Captive State on Blair's PPPs). The danger is compounded by low mobilization & potential midterm losses, which make effective effective implementation harder.

There are very few strings attached to most of those $80bn, which as @aldatweets suggests, means the details over how deeply to decarbonize public housing will likely be hashed out in implementation — if this all passes, of course. / https://t.co/Zp56F2r391

So $80bn of the Dems’ $3.5tn reconciliation package are destined for public housing renovations. That’s double what Biden had proposed and a clear win for the GND movement. / https://t.co/wdkPyGqbSO

@yfreemark @landpolicy @urbaninstitute Hi Yonah, very helpful research. One Q: did you study the net change in social housing units across, say, Île de France? As you know, in some of the banlieues, major public housing complexes are being torn down… is construction in Paris + rich suburbs balancing that out?
