In an interesting turn of events, US and Danish government came up with the same to help with the affordability crisis: longer mortgages!
That has sparked some backlash. But in the US, it seems the discussion is focusing on the wrong stuff.
Well, let’s try to learn from 🇩🇰.

My personal modest take and feelings about this.
The discussion ending at this tweet is very smart on both sides ( @lugaricano.bsky.social and @shengwuli.bsky.social ), reasonably spicy, and fun to read.
I don't think the argument for the price system rests on full information. I think it rests on Hayek 1945, hence precisely on dispersed local knowledge --i said that before. But let's leave it here. I think we clarified quite a bit, and I hope some of our readers (if there are any!) learned a bit.
