How did a debate over housing become a call to end the anti-monopoly movement?

No one called to end anti-monopoly.

Rather a specific anti-monopoly activist, Matt Stoller, was revealed to have played fast and loose with his sources, and to have ignored actual pro-monopoly forces in housing.

Every day, local anti-housing activists lobby local politicians and defend status quo land use rules that grant a de facto floorspace monopoly to incumbent homeowners and landowners. Meanwhile some anti-monopoly activists are incapable of seeing a monopoly or anti-competitive behaviour unless it involves a corporation.

This response article makes the opposite claim, that it was Derek Thompson who played fast and loose with sources. As evidence, the Stoller piece cites testimonials from both Lance Lambert and Luis Quintero saying that in their interviews with Thompson, they never went on record as repudiating claims made on the BIG newsletter.
