Google searches for "who should I vote for" up 102% from 4 years ago. What happens when AI helps answer that question for uninformed voters?

From my livestream. I watched the movie "Good Fortune" starring Aziz Anzari, and was incredibly distracted by how wrong the movie was about the causes of housing insecurity in Los Angeles. Hollywood, hit me up if you need an economist to review your scripts!

From my live stream: Is a new fee on skilled workers about to change the housing market? Trump is proposing a $100,000 fee for H1B skilled worker visas. While it's aimed at international hiring, the knock-on effects could hit housing.

From my livestream: A billionaire got caught using AI to write a Wall Street Journal op-ed. Stanley Druckenmiller published an op-ed criticizing Treasury Secretary Bessent. AI detectors flagged it 100%. He admitted it. The WSJ defended it.

From the pod: we are at peak unaffordability, meaning housing affordability is very bad right now, but it is slowly getting better.

Reminder that the ongoing breakdown in global economic cooperation is bad for economic growth and inflation. And, when combined with lots of investment opportunities in AI infrastructure, is bad for interest rates.

From my livestream: Why did The Economist publish a hit piece on Daron Acemoglu? Was it for the clicks, or was it to put him in his place for criticizing AI? I livestream every Thursday at 3ET, subscribe so you don't miss it.

Bonds are selling off, pushing interest rates higher. I said in my YouTube about long term trends, that we are in the orange region (higher rates), seems like the market is agreeing with me (at least for today).

Woke 2 was in 2017, when Jordan Peele's Get Out trailer featured the Childish Gambino song Redbone featuring the lyrics "Stay Woke". This means, by my calculations, we are now in Woke 4

Everyone has their woke timelines wrong. The real woke 1 , wasn't 2020, it was actually in 2014, when Beyonce had everyone singing "I woke up like this" and declared herself a feminist.

There are so many economic trends happening all at once, it's hard to keep track. I made this visual aid to help people understand how things could play out, and how different economic trends matter. I also made a youtube video explaining this map. 👇

The AI boom will generate unfathomable wealth in the San Francisco, but because SF is notoriously bad at building housing when demand increases, existing homeowners will be the real winners.

According to a new Redfin report, luxury homes in Miami cost 9 times as much as regular homes. One of the biggest gaps in the country. Wealthy people aren't deterred by climate risks because they can afford to protect their homes or they can afford to take a loss.

Will private equity buy the homes that Baby Boomers leave behind to their Millennial heirs? The heirs will likely sell to whomever offers the highest price, and in places with high land values, that's developers.

Do socialists want to "burn it all down," or are they just frustrated that they can't afford a life where they rely on their friends, family and communities because they can't even afford their basic need of housing? I discuss with Carlo Versano on Newsweek's The 1600 Podcast.

Ever wonder why there are random parking lots in NYC? It's because our tax system rewards land holders and penalizes building. A Land Value Tax would force development and help solve the housing crisis! 📉🏡

From my latest livestream: President Trump cancels signing of housing affordability bill, allegedly says: "No one gives sh*t about housing." I strongly disagree. Everyone needs a place to live, ergo everyone cares about housing.

In my livestream, I read a news article that claimed Francesca Hong supports rent control in Wisconsin. But her policy page doesn't mention rent control! I guess it's easier to dismiss the leftist candidate with "rent control bad" arguments, even when that's not her actual policy stance.

Looks like Warsh is sticking to his hawkish principles. The last sentence reaffirming the Fed's commitment to fight inflation says a lot even if the statement is short in word length.

AI money is flooding into Bay Area real estate. $500K signing bonuses. Surging stock comp. Pre-IPO hype ahead of OpenAI going public. One SF home listed at $2.995M will even accept AI company stock as payment. Would you sell your house for pre-IPO shares?

The biggest misconception I hear in real estate is that high property taxes are bad for home values, but property taxes (when spent effectively) protect your home's value. Check out this clip from my latest livestream 👇

Apropos of nothing. One of my all time favorite video games is Tropico where your role play a dictator. You can win by carefully managing the needs of your citizens along with the economy, but you can also win by funneling money into a Swiss Bank Account and absconding.

Oil futures are climbing again! The Strait of Hormuz has now been closed since end of February, and markets that priced in a short war are starting to reprice. Mortgage rates are up because of it. We're not at the $10/gallon doomsday yet, but every week this drags on, the odds creep higher.

The AI boom isn't lifting all boats. Since Nov 2022, SF luxury home prices rose 13.4% while affordable areas declined. This real estate divide mirrors the gap between tech’s big winners and workers fearing AI replacement. 🤖🏘️

Why are we bulldozing forests while city parking lots sit empty? 🌳🚫 It’s the tax code. By taxing buildings instead of just land, we incentivize sprawl. But a solution from the 1800s is back: Land Value Tax. 📈 The key to affordable housing AND a greener planet?🌎🏙️

More sellers are cutting prices than any February since 2012, and they are having to adjust their expectations down by $40k on average. That's according to a new Redfin report (link in thread).

Holy cow, rates up to 6.53% today! A borrower putting 20% down on a $600,000 home would pay $168 more now than they would have the day before the U.S. bombed Iran when rates were 5.99%. War is costly in innumerable ways, including the cost of homeownership.
