At Monday’s Inner West Council meeting YIMBYs stood up to save their community by supporting council’s Fairer Future plan for 30,000 homes. With the public speeches done, the next step is the final vote on 30 September at Ashfield Town Hall. Will we see you there?
mainstream economics continues to rely on newtonian mathematics — using calculus to optimise, subject to constraints. this pales in comparison to my approach — putting caps on prices and simply ignoring the constraints

Yes! Contrary to your unsupportable claims, this is a big public benefit. A ton of research shows that increased supply reduces the cost of housing. Renters and home-buyers win. Existing home-owners lose. A huge egalitarian redistribution of income.

A typical example of what NSW housing policy is delivering. 12 Mosman houses are being replaced by 150 apartments. Previously valued at about $46m (at Domain.com.au), they're being sold for $70m, a 50% uplift. mosmancollective.com/uncategorized/…
One of the virtues of something like the consumer welfare standard for merger review as opposed to the broader “public interest” criteria used by the FCC is it reduces discretion and makes it harder to abuse regulatory authority for partisan purposes.

“The evidence for the overall wage effect — that high-skilled immigration raises wages and living standards for workers in practically every sector of the economy — is so compelling that it is hard to find another effect in the entire economics literature for which the evidence…

@ItsDoonby Someone @GreaterAKL last night called them “zoners” and I really can’t get it out of my head. It’s so good. You don’t plan. You zone.
Every time I hear a parade of well-reasoned arguments about trusting the science (i.e. Tylenol being latest), I wonder: Why do some of these same people throw science out the window when the topic shifts to housing supply and/or rent control?
@peter_tulip The RBA report calculating the optimal height for apartments in a radius around the city and showing the "zoning premium" in Sydney (I think the context of it being nil in Liverpool was interesting) are the two most convincing things I've read for YIMBYism
The Liberal Party is increasingly the voice of small-town values. There's nothing wrong with that. Except that cities have two-thirds of the votes.

Too often politics is framed in zero-sum terms – jobs versus migrants, men versus women, growth versus environment. My ANU speech today argued for abundance politics: expanding opportunity so everyone can share in it: andrewleigh.com/speech_the_pol… #auspol
Many (most?) objections to the Inner West Council's plan for more housing seem to be variations on "I don't believe supply and demand affect the cost of housing." A stubborn denial of evidence. youtu.be/KyFO4sBICFM?t=…
In my latest Economics Explained column I discuss the difficulty of running the energy transition by command-and-control. The best – and ultimately the only way – to balance the harms and benefits of emissions is through an economy-wide price on carbon. afr.com/policy/energy-…
A ban on Airbnb is a costly and ineffective way to increase long-term rentals. Especially stupid for towns, like Byron Bay, surrounded by cheap rural land on which housing is prohibited. Just allow more homes. abc.net.au/news/2025-09-2…
