many have been asking me why economics is not a real discipline. it is not a real discipline because it does not reduce all of its claims to the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory

The economics 101 understanding of housing prices is woefully inadequate. A more nuanced approach recognizes that fancy man build fancy, but then fancy make the prices bigger

I realize these are dangerous waters but even the humanities grads doing genuinely interesting work have to couch it in 200 pages of academic word salad in order to simultaneously 1. perform humility before their supervisors and 2. claim to have expanded human knowledge

I think that if bicycling wasn’t so visible I might be vegan-level annoying about it. But my day-to-day biking around town turns me into a rolling advertisement for the joy and freedom of biking

Housing markets behave differently than other markets. They are highly localized, lag behind sudden demand shocks (like a high wage tech boom), and have high switching costs. The enormous power asymmetry between owners and renters is why I advocate for public intervention.

Any theory of why the housing market is fucked has to be compatible with the fact that it mostly was not fucked until the last half-century

I really think the game in this election isn’t figuring out how people will vote assuming they vote, but rather figuring out who will be mobilized to vote
