I find this really interesting. Texas cities build homes, and as a result supply helps prices low. But also, segregation. Are they building on the fringe? I bet. Now...how much of the stall in California housing supply has happened because we are trying to emphasize infill?https://twitter.com/keynesianr/status/1043623034622332928 …

We have lots of good reasons to emphasize infill, but I've been dealing with neighborhood opposition for 30 some years. It isn't going away. So maybe one thing Texas does differently is to allow fringe growth? I am talking out my fanny here, trying to think of empirical tests.

Replying to @drschweitzer
I think it’s geography more than infill. San Andreas means hilly terrain very quickly emerges from the coast from top to bottom and coastal flatlands were filled out by the 1970s.

gonna debate a Houston sprawl guy soon and he was like why can’t you just make everything from Oakland to Sacramento fair game and I was like half of that is covered by the delta, the levees aren’t seismically sound and it’s one of the world’s largest water supply systems.
