Does the guy just completely miss the very obvious part part where blue states tend to have higher population density among their voters and tend to be more urbanised hence referenced things core to his argument like "housing cost" and "zoning" are obviously impacted.
Also how the effect this urbanisation has on voting behaviour[1] It's this population spread that probably also contributed (among other things obviously) to red states more often running a deficit. One could argue conservatives are hypocrits and need democrat subsidies or one can also look at the cost of providing infrastructure, services and the like for a more spread out population that earns less. It's so obviously a huge factor that it must either be intentional (which would not be too far fetched given the institution he's part of) or he must be seriously blind to any internalized biases.
