The better question is what Temu doesn’t sell.

Users who turned to Temu this month as a lifeline for holiday shopping in the face of the highest inflation in a generation made it one of the fastest growing platforms in the U.S.

Over the last couple months, posts praising Temu have spread like wildfire across Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok-though many of them use glowing language that appears to be recycled from one post to the next.īut, at the moment, Temu is very much a real platform, offering a variety of real, heavily discounted products, from air fryers to wireless Lenovo earbuds ($8.98), computer keyboards ($15) to clothes ($1.69 for five pairs of socks). On top of really cheap consumer goods, Temu boasts opportunities to earn credits through spin-the-wheel games or if you convince your friends to join. In this Article, we argue that non-cumulative zoning is an idea whose time has passed, if there ever was a convincing case for it at all.Upon first glance, Temu could leave some users questioning whether it’s legit. The arguments for non-cumulative zoning are always the same: Cities seek to (a) reduce the degree to which urban manufacturers are held responsible for nuisance and (b) subsidize urban manufacturing by reducing the competition for land and hence reducing the price.

In contrast with traditional Euclidean zoning, in which manufacturing uses were prohibited in residential areas but not vice versa, areas that are zoned non-cumulatively allow only manufacturing uses and bar any residential (and sometimes even commercial uses) of property. The reason is a widely-used, but poorly understood form of local industrial policy known as non-cumulative zoning. Abstract In cities around the country, huge swaths of property in desirable locations house only empty warehouses, barely-used shipping facilities, and heavily subsidized industrial- age factories, often right across the street from high-end condos and office buildings.
