Expensive housing isn't smallpox. We don't "fix" issues of scarcity. But legalizing the production of the scarce good is a natural first step to improving its availability and affordability.

"Build more, more people move in" Oh no, whatever will we do!
The Coastal Commission claimed they approve "hundreds" of homes in the Coast every year. I asked them for the data to prove it. They responded saying they won't send me that. Instead, they asked me to comb their public agendas. I'll let you decide if they're telling the truth.
@maxdubler That is a gross oversimplification. Hundreds of units of multifamily housing get approved in the Coastal Zone every year.
@jemersmith The concerns are not legitimate if you care more about ending the housing crisis than protecting rich people’s views.
@Aella_Girl people who find their way to your surveys as teenagers are probably sampled from a different population than people who find their way to your surveys as adults
This forces developers to take a huge loss on the units in a down market, especially in relatively affordable neighborhoods, or leave them empty while hoping for market rents to rebound. /4
Must read @SFjkdineen story on SF's "inclusionary housing" program for middle-income households. It's yielding mass vacancy rather than housed middle-income families. Why? B/c of panoply of death-by-good-intention allocation & pricing rules. 🧵/12. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/mis…
Sin #1: An arcane set of "preference" categories, which make applications cumbersome to fill out & review, and which result in units sitting vacant b/c they've been pre-allocated to a different preference group. /2
The incredible transformation of Dallas. Don't let people tell you that a city can't change. I can't wait to see what Dallas looks like in another 20 years.
I'm thrilled to announce the launch of the Inclusive Abundance Initiative (inclusiveabundance.org) — a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization I founded last year that is dedicated to shaping America’s future through an abundance-focused agenda. More here: linkedin.com/posts/activity…
@RossBarkan It's quite simple, really: zoning makes apartments illegal, and housing would be more abundant and affordable if we legalized apartments.
The Child Tax Credit, a key tax break for families, is scheduled to be scaled back at the end of next year. As part of our launch of the @The_Budget_Lab, we analyzed some CTC reform options—with an eye towards illustrating design tradeoffs. (1/10) budgetlab.yale.edu/research/child…
The structure of the supplemental Empire State Child Credit that New York included in the state budget this year is truly something to behold.
I'm excited to dig in because recent state CTC changes are a great way to explore potential labor impact of CTC refundability but I've got some initial skepticism of using California (in particular) where change was dropping a $1 earnings requirement.
