Today's literature review work yields a great looking chart. From the Royal Commission on Canada's Economic Prospects on how they forecast GDP and GNP.
After watching #BurlON's April Pipeline to Permit Committee I decided to look at the Committee of Adjustment (CoA). My learning: "we want infill but our rules require breaking the laws of physics or lots of money". All this for splitting a lot. 1/🧵 events.burlington.ca/meetings/Detai…
"Oliver Parker, who lives near the Burlington GO Station, said at the public meeting he wants to see residential buildings larger than what staff is proposing" More housing near GO Transit is a no-brainer. Only wish they cut the parking spots down. burlingtontoday.com/local-news/dea…

Another year of Burlington dragging its foot on getting more housing built. Hitting only 27% of provincial targets (which are already low goals) is not encouraging. #BurlON insauga.com/housing-target…
History does really repeat itself with this hitting the news as I read excerpts of archived government memos from the 1920s dealing with stalled Canada-UK trade talks. #econhis
Everyone may be getting crypto ads but for me the app is good again because now I'm getting sponsored World Bank tweets alerting me to new publications.
I have finally been to The Well in Toronto and it is good. They should build them on every block.
Time to email UofM and GS researchers to figure out how I can compute this index for Canada. Would be really interesting to capture Canadian sentiment!
My new paper with @Lfang17 and N. Stewart, Homeowner Politics and Housing Supply, was published today at @JUrbanEcon. We examine the role of homeowner influence and NIMBYs on housing production in Toronto. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
If I'm going to OCR and digitize dozens of tables from this series for my dataset, I may as well treat myself to a physical copy as a souvenir.
More of these along the entirety of Brant, Guelph, Walkers, and Appleby would be great.

Blame Trudeau for housing, sure – but the real fault belongs to your local mayor theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…
This is the point of well designed property taxes/LVT. When the value of the land is high enough it encourages redevelopment to higher densities to spread out the higher rate. It acts as a natural mechanism to slow the rise of house prices with added supply!

And just like that my PhD research is relevant again.

Mayor Ward is all talk about saying she's trying to get housing built. Meanwhile, the city is stonewalling or outright denying up to 35% of all housing proposals in Burlington. Mayor Ward and Council are not serious about the housing crisis in Burlington.

Once again disappointed in Burlington council for failing to get housing built in this city. It's evident they don't care about providing affordable homes and serve to cater to millionaire homeowners and their exclusionary "neighbourhood character"
Econ Twitter: did you realize that inflation can come down without a recession?? Anyone who has ever looked at a mainstream macroeconomic model:

it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work
1/10 Interesting study suggesting that there is no evidence that higher public debt levels are associated with lower economic growth. I am not especially surprised because there are so many different conditions under which debt can emerge.
Do higher public debt levels reduce economic growth? My meta-analysis is out in the September issue of Journal of Economic Surveys. By analysing 816 estimates, I find - publication bias in favour of negative growth effects - no uniform public-debt-to-GDP threshold Summary 🧵

Greetings from Montreal, where getting a parking permit for a big SUV costs 80% more than for a modest-sized sedan. Local leaders hope to nudge people away from bloated cars that endanger others, foul the air, and use extra curb space. Makes sense to me!
The vast majority of Toronto neighbourhoods have fewer people living in them today than in 1971, despite a doubling in overall in population. Toronto needs to upzone these neighbourhoods to 6-8 storeys, in particular.
