I don’t think Democrats are willing to nominate Mayor Bill de Blasio for president just yet."

Krugman is right that high housing prices is the problem, although this week is the first time I remember reading him say so outright.
To be fair, Krugman's point is more about NIMBY-motivated regulation preventing the building of high-rises and thereby lowering housing prices in California. And how this makes republican states like Texas look (again artificially) good by comparison.
Next week I would like to see Krugman post about the evils of artificially inflated stock and bond markets, also caused by artificially low interest rates.
Nobody gets this.
Well, Krugman did at least.
"So Rick Perry doesn’t know the secrets of job creation, or even of regional growth. It would be great to see the real key — affordable housing — become a national issue. But I don’t think Democrats are willing to nominate Mayor Bill de Blasio for president just yet."
