New paper alert! 🚨

I show that how house prices are modelled matters for the answer. Most popular house price functions and microfoundations *underestimate* policy gains! #econsky

The UK should copy this policy straight away. Allow to build up to 5-6 stories on any brownfield site. And focus on policing high quality standard and respecting commitments to public goods, rather than on excruciating local consultations that hardly lead anywhere.
I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge.

We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style

Here’s the details 🧵
