This seems to be the problem with our checks and balances…they are very slow and if someone moves quick enough, the damage can already done before they can work.

I’ve always wondered how much productivity and resources have been wasted because scholars test the same hypotheses over and over again because no one published their null results.

I’m curious what is driving this. Older generations selling in high COL areas and moving to low COL areas? Buying seconds homes? Is it just reflecting a drop in the number of younger homebuyers?

Deficits are “bad” I was told! But when it comes to tax cuts and military budgets such concerns vanish. I think it’s fair to say Republicans are all secretly Modern Monetary Theorists and know deficits don’t matter when you are a currency issuer. #MMT #PoliticalEconomy

This has been the curious thing, at least in my region. Homes aren’t selling, but prices aren’t really coming down. Are sellers over-leveraged? Did the COVID market distort owners’ perceptions of their homes value?

My coauthors and I have a cool paper on the connection between foreign real estate investment and redistributive attitudes today in Montrose 4 on the 7th floor at 3:20. We find that being primed with FREI increases oppostion to redistribution.

The Trump administration has cut off federal funding to nonprofits that are key enforcers of anti-discrimination laws. Last year there were more than 34,000 fair-housing complaints, a record high for the third year in a row. @jenniferludden.bsky.social @npr.org www.npr.org/2025/03/15/n...

HUD choked funding to enforce fair-housing laws. Legal aid groups may not survive
Most housing discrimination claims are handled by local nonprofits around the country. They say the Trump administration has hobbled them, and are challenging the cuts as unlawful.

Labor shortages will only lead to rising costs. This administrations discussion of housing affordability was just to further their anti-immigration agenda.

Social media companies never wanted to regulate misinformation. It was the threat of government intervention that forced their hand. It’s the same thing with the film industry’s self-regulation via the MPAA ratings system. The threat is gone, so too is content moderation.

Unfortunately, this is likely to have serious implications for affordability not only in LA county, but surrounding counties as well.

This is one of the things that bothered me most about JD Vance during the debate. Immigrants are not are a driver of the affordability crisis. An immigration crackdown could make things worse.

Definitely a major contributor to the housing shortage. More people aging in place means less houses returning to the market.
