Newly published housing research! We find that the effects of new construction on rents varies by the quality of the existing housing. In the first 5 years rents went up 4.4% near low quality buildings and went down 1.7% near high quality buildings (1/x) 🧵 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Build baby build? Housing submarkets and the effects of new
construction on existing rents

Anthony Damiano and Chris Frenier
aUniversity of Minnesota; bHealth Care Cost Institute
ABSTRACT
There is vigorous debate among scholars, and activists about the role that new market-rate apartments play in alleviating housing affordability issues at the neighborhood level. This study evaluates how new large (>50 units)
market-rate apartment buildings affect rents in nearby buildings. In contrast to other recent work, we posit that the effects of new construction may vary by the quality of existing housing. We test this hypothesis by using a panel of building-level rents from Minneapolis, Minnesota, observed between 2000
and 2018. While we find no effect of new high-end housing on the market overall, we find countervailing effects of new construction on different parts of the rental market when broken out separately. We find that lower-priced rental housing close to new construction had rents 4.4% higher than those in
other low-quality buildings farther away in the first 5 years after new construction. In contrast, we find that new construction had the opposite effect on higher-priced housing: rents were 1.7% lower near new construction. This study reiterates the importance of housing submarket theory and how focusing solely on average effects of housing interventions may miss important and nuanced effects across different parts of the market.

We draw on the case of the co-living sector in Brussels to argue that we are witnessing a process of life course segmentation - a form of class monopoly rent - enabling rent extraction across a wider swath of the life course, but also deepening the extraction of rent at each life course stage.

Looking forward to speaking about young adults' access to homeownership at the Urban Affairs Association Conference on Friday, specifically, the tensions between the ideologies of homeownership underpinning Canadian housing policy and the homeowner ideologies of those looking to buy a first home.

Of all the astonishingly brutal stats that have emerged over the course of the genocide in Gaza the one that pops into my mind everyday is that Israeli attacks are the 4th leading cause of violent deaths for kids under 5 in the whole world. Heartbreaking and beautifully illustrated by Mona Chalabi.
