In theory there is supposed to be some balance point between agglomeration benefits and congestion disamenities, but real wages are already higher in Boston &#038; DC so I\u2019m a little skeptical,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattyglesias\/status\/1538975271189204993\">said<\/a>, adding, \u201cGiven that the United States has so many more people than Japan, I think unconstrained New York should probably grow to be meaningfully larger than Tokyo \u2014 more than doubling the current population of the metro area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on to note that New York had \u201ca lot of unused subway capacity\u201d that, if updated and used efficiently, could bring the United States closer to the advanced transportation infrastructure in place in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the land use near existing commuter rail stations is total garbage. So there\u2019s plenty of room for growth even without improving the infrastructure (which we should of course improve),\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>But despite his efforts to raise a legitimate question about urban planning and efficient use of transportation structures, critics quickly harped on Iglesias\u2019 first comment about spending time outside and enjoying the weather.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShouldn\u2019t you be isolating?\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shouldn&#39;t you be isolating?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jeff Jarvis (@jeffjarvis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jeffjarvis\/status\/1538977730489901057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 20, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post\u2019s Taylor Lorenz, who had previously <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TaylorLorenz\/status\/1538595952566542336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1538595952566542336%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fmedia%2Fwashington-posts-taylor-lorenz-scolds-matt-yglesias-joking-covid\">scolded<\/a> Yglesias for joking about the fact that he tested positive for COVID on Fathers Day, quickly piled on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe should.
