Here to chat housing & sport.
Mostly in the weeds. Ex-RBA & Ex-NSW PC. Brisbane Broncos tragic. All views my own.

This is one of the most thought-provoking pieces I encountered this year. The tl;dr is that men are finding it harder to get good jobs, housing, and wives. This loss of status has at least partly driven a gender-based backlash.
But I want to elaborate on the YIMBY section at the end…1/5

The best new podcast of 2024 was surely @jerusalem.bsky.social’s
“Good on Paper”
We had an absolute blast, discussing the evidence & possible drivers. 👇

Always found attitudes like those found in this comment puzzling. Students and 18-20 year olds also need somewhere to live. They don’t disappear just b/c we don’t accommodate them. The alternative is arrested development in family home or crowded share houses. 1/3
Disappointing how many people believe a) that it is difficult to sell flats in inner Melbourne and b) that families are leaving inner Melbourne because of apartments.
Reality: The CBD is gaining more children than many of the leafy eastern suburbs.

Ben Hunt is the best possible addition the Broncos could have made to their roster this offseason. Key weaknesses were halves depth & top end talent at #9 & he provides both. It also means an injury to Reynolds is no longer the end of the season.

In this working paper that was published today, Matthew Maltman and I review some of the economic evidence on the effects of ✨upzoning✨in Auckland in 2016.
tldr: We find remarkably robust evidence that upzoning led to more housing and lower rents in Auckland. Wow!

I am late to the party on this. But this is typically punchy writing and clear thinking from @petertulip.bsky.social on housing. I especially welcome the nuanced discussion on filtering. Some extra thoughts on how filtering works & why it is still treated with suspicion. 1/n
This paper summarises what I see as the key points in the Australian housing debate, as of February 2024.

The Gold Coast has a lot to recommend it. But it would be vastly improved if pedestrians were given even 10% the consideration of motorists.

I honestly didn't realize that New York City still applied minimum parking requirements.
New Zealand, with a population of a nudge over 5 million in a remote corner of the south Pacific, has removed MPRs nationwide -- before one of the greatest cities the world has ever seen?
Amazingly absurd.

If you're wondering just how absurd NYC parking minimums are, consider this: these apartment buildings, located directly next to Jamaica Station in Queens—which handles over 1,000 trains per day—were required to include hundreds of parking spaces.

This article by Michael Koziol has rightly received a lot of attention. For my part, what I admire is how much ambition he has for Sydney. I also love Sydney & want to see it thrive. We all should, given its central place in our cultural and economic landscape. 1/9

As I leave beautiful but maddening Sydney, I’ve realised all its problems boil down to one thing
Sydney would be unstoppable if it could fix the cost of housing, the tyranny of distance and its obsession with rules and restrictions. We are let down by leaders who say the right things but act timi...
