What's my most NIMBY opinion? And other important questions.

A mailbag post for Autumn

POD! A fun episode of The Abundance Agenda this week as Martin convinces me that we really should dig a tunnel to the Isle of Wight. Plus we speak to our pal Ed Jennings from Kent Current, about a maddening battery storage battle, and how Reform is doing in Kent on Abundance-adjacent issues. Go have a listen!

Hello from a grey and rain-soaked Toronto! I’m afraid I am still on holiday this week, but don’t worry – I hope to have at least a couple of things for you this week, in lieu of a regular longer essay post.

First up is my autumn mailbag post below, where I’ve answered some of your burning questions. This time, I’m wading in on:

• Is Substack inevitably going to get enshittified?

• What three things should Labour do get out of its current pickle?

• Can archaeologists ever be YIMBYs?

• Is Richard Osman wrong about social media?

• What’s the most NIMBY opinion I have?

• Whether AI will be a job killer, or a job creator?

• If we have nuclear submarines, why are small reactors so hard?

• And much more!

It’s going to be a fun one – so let’s get started!
