  • Must listen

    This podcast is a must-listen for anyone concerned about why the U.S. doesn’t have enough housing, market or affordable, and how different housing policies make that worse or sometimes better. Exposes practitioners to research that they probably didn’t even know existed.

  • Accessible and accurate

    This is a fantastic podcast for understanding the state of the research on housing economics and affordability. I appreciate that they interview the authors of the papers in a way that makes the content accessible to non-economists while preserving accuracy and nuance.

  • Too much policy, not enough economics

    Love the topic, but unfortunately these episodes too often devolve to wishcasting. In the current series on pathways to homelessness episode 1 clearly states that the base issue in areas of high homeless is a lack of available units in which to live and the costs that scarcity drives. So why no follow up episodes on high density building, alternatives to traditional housing (beyond apartments/condos/sfh), breaking down govt regulation and bureaucracy to speed development, post pandemic commerci... more

  • Invaluable!

    Searching "why x policy..." often goes nowhere useful - particularly without institutional access to journals, or adequate knowledge of the legal terminology or variation in terminology in other areas. Any of these episodes is a wealth of terminology, names of researchers, studies, cultural and legislative context, discussion of how the studies were conducted, their limitations... with the recognition that listeners may be coming from a range of interests, backgrounds, and level of knowledge.

Ep 102: Minimum Standards vs. Affordability with Benjamin Schneider (Incentives Series pt. 5)
Q: What should we know about progressives like Edith Elmer Wood and Lawrence Vailer?
Progressives had mixed motivations; while some focused on improving housing for the poor, others aimed to control urbanization and maintain moral standards.
Ep 102: Minimum Standards vs. Affordability with Benjamin Schneider (Incentives Series pt. 5)
Q: Could you describe urban housing of that era for us and what it was like to live in it?
The conditions included overcrowding, unsanitary environments, and significant safety risks, with few regulations in place until reform efforts began.
Ep 99: The ‘International’ Code Council with Jesse Zwick (Incentives Series pt. 3)

Start implementing a more rigorous version of cost-benefit analysis within the process for code updates.
Ep 99: The ‘International’ Code Council with Jesse Zwick (Incentives Series pt. 3)
Q: How are we doing compared to other countries?
Taken on aggregate, it makes it a lot more expensive to build here than in other places, with mid-rise buildings costing significantly more per square foot than single-family homes.
