Being on the direct receiving end of lobbying of all kinds now, one of my most consistent observations is how the same people can change the way they talk about how the “free market” should be intervened with when it “free markets” too good.
A federal program that deported 400,000 immigrants from 2008-2014 increased new-construction home prices by 16%, or $50k. This is net of reduced demand effects.
