Interesting that this dropped at the same time as the Abundance frenzy, "Supply Constraints do not Explain House Price and Quantity Growth Across U.S. Cities." Will be curious to see how the Abundance & YIMBY folks respond: nber.org/papers/w33576
"...our findings imply that constrained housing supply is relatively unimportant in explaining differences in rising house prices among U.S. cities... easing housing supply constraints may not yield the anticipated improvements in housing affordability."

What's the best piece of writing that defines and criticizes solutionism, the technological fix, and the like?I'm looking for something that is conceptually rigorous and clear, not loose pop criticism stuff. Like, I would almost like an analytical philosopher's take . . .
