Re: Last post about a book. Since don’t wanna just post about books that make me mad one book I’ve read that I adored is Thisby Thestoop. Genuinely adorable, funny and all around a joy of a book for any and all ages and the audiobook is by one of my favorite narrators. Highly recommend!

Even modest increases in supply per year relative to demand make a big difference in working class rents after about a decade, and decent differences after a few years. Restoring mortgage access to the working class would make things go even faster.

In all the major social democracies zoning looks absolutely nothing like America's. And I realize I'm doing the meme but read this 23 page paper about why zoning worsens segregation (as intended) and harms the environment.

1. Abolishing racial zoning was "deregulation." Few care about the sheer quantity of regulation, it's about quality.

Research broadly supports the conclusion that housing supply growth either:
a)reduces rents
b)slows rent growth
This being true doesn't mean that low-income subsidies aren't needed. An equitable city expands supply & subsidizes <60% AMI rents.
