"I don’t care for the progressive talking point that housing policy is analogous to immigration policy, but those folks seem to agree with it!"
You should write about this, because I think I'd disagree with you. There's a deep moral linkage between favoring more housing construction (which benefits those who would like to move in, but aren't here yet, while imposing [perceived] costs on current residents) and favoring more immigration (which does the same). And the two are strongly correlated in real life--I've met many pro-housing advocates and almost all of them are strongly in favor of more-relaxed immigration laws.

I remember the creation of 908. Before that, "central Jersey" was not a thing. You were north (Yankees or Mets) or south (Phillies).
Cannot agree "Central Jersey" exists. You were 201 or 609, additionally added area codes notwithstanding.
