City council candidate plagiarizes another candidate?

Reading the whole post, I see why McCrea is a little peeved at Yoon, but housing is a supply-and-demand issue and work does need to be done to increase supply. I don't think that this is such a particular and idiosyncratic way to express an idea that its repetition can be called plagiarism. Surely, McCrea was not the first to say it, nor even the first to use those words, and if Sam Yoon has done good work on housing already (as McCrea says), Yoon must already have some understanding of the low-supply, high-demand problem. If I say, "We need to put more cops on the streets to reduce crime," can I cry foul every time someone else agrees publicly?
