bleak joking aside the economic narration in that article is Not So Great
@thegarance you should have gotten a housing economist to tear into that, imo. there's a fascinating story here but the theory and the implicit causal inference is all wrong
In particular, -- I think mentioning the 1%ers is a distraction here; there just aren't enough of them. Price increases are nearly entirely driven by a spike in demand from (young!) upper middle class households. -- New developments being mostly high-end isn't super . . .
. . . important for general price increases. If they weren't being built, incumbent landlords might improve their existing units, or (probably) just rent them out as-is to yuppies desperate for space. Quantity matters much more than quality for price spikes. (contd)
-- "neither a teacher nor a social worker making [their profession's] median national salary . . . can afford fair market rent for a two-bedroom home in [some specific] metro areas" reflex: but teachers in those cities are paid more and 2BR SFRs are **LUXE** in those areas!
Last tweet was a bit nitpicky. I think the main point I wanted to make is something like: Something weird happened in the aughts that resulted in urban cores becoming central for professional production again. The resulting demand for urban housing for yuppies . . .
probably would have been sufficient to drive up housing prices without any broader shifts in US income inequality. At this point, I'm about to lapse in to screeching about how liberal zoning policies would have mitigated the problem, so I'll cut myself off. :)
