Brief
mnolangray notes SB 79 does not take effect until July 1, 2026 and angrily dismisses the current online debate as “dumb and untethered from reality.” He amplifies Hal Singer’s argument that deregulation favored by developers failed to increase housing starts, calling that a misdiagnosis and urging efficacy-driven policy choices.
Why it matters
SB 79 has not taken effect as of this post (published 2026-04-30); @mnolangray states it takes effect on July 1, 2026 and calls the surrounding discourse “sufficiently dumb and untethered from reality,” questioning his time spent on the site.
Key details
- Hal Singer's quoted thread asserts abundance proponents ‘misdiagnosed’ housing affordability: policymakers delivered the deregulation developers/investors wanted but saw no lift in housing starts, so Singer urges choosing policy levers based on efficacy rather than what ‘powerful founders’ prefer.
