Matthew Yglesias has a group of tweets that begin with this:
Someone needs to give me an Oscar one of these years so I can subject America to a tedious discussion of land use regulation.

“In the movies, there is no minimum lot size or maximum lot occupancy; we fill provide as much or as little parking as we want.”

“Fences is a powerful reminder that single-family zoning is not enough to make the American dream a reality.”

Fences is set in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, hardly an example of a community zoned for single family housing. Although, Wilson’s plays deal with the death and transformation of this neighborhood.
Can someone explain these tweets? Is he making a joke?
I think he’s making fun of actors talking politics.
