@LibertyLizard I did watch it. Like most videos of its type, it throws up a bunch of relevant-seeming statistics uncritically. You cannot make a bare comparison of rents between cities with wildly differing income structures and land values.

Did the author not wonder why Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are so low on the list, despite being highly desireable places to live?

@LibertyLizard I just feel like this video is going to misinterpret so many things about reality.

I'm curious as to why you think this video is "well-researched". Because it throws a lot of statistics of dubious relelvance on the screen?

@GarlicBender Unfortunately. Such people give the very idea of Liberty a bad name. They have now become what libertarianism is in the public's eye.

@ajsadauskas @technology These guys are not "libertarians", at all. They are, in fact, the antithesis of libertarian. They are authoritarians who believe in liberty only for themselves.
