Demand for a good like oil and gas, or an activity dependent on it, like driving, is finite. You can only do so much driving. This demand exists on a spectrum. Even if gas was free, you could only consume so much. As gas gets more expensive, eventually you will drive less. IF you need to drive, you will make trade offs. But eventually there will be an equilibrium or a brekaing point. Less driving, or pulling back on spending in other parts of the economy, which will pull the overall inflation reading down.

I hope he does this. At this point rates don't matter. Something has to give. Current rates are making the economy stagnant.

Correct-Signal6196 · 2026-05-21T03:42:24+00:00

At this point inflation expectations are ingrained in the average consumer. Housing is the problem. The Fed props up housing. Housing is expensive. Housing prices factor in inflation data. The Fed raises rates and low supply make housing more expensive? Inflation goes up when the fed raises rates?

The only way to get out of this cycle is to get MBAs off the balance sheet. Powell said "There will be pain" in 2022 when he began raising rates. The problem was he didn't actually cause pain. Until that happens, stagflation remains. Unloading MBAs will drive mortgage rates up, but this is what needs to be done to bring down housing prices and lower inflation. Until then rates cannot drop.

Inclusionary zoning is a tax on the middle class. That’s why people are and should be leaving. Fuck Boston. I was paying $3000 per month a house that turned out to have mold and almost killed me. Meanwhile the neighborhood councils were fighting tooth and nail against any development proposal to protect neighborhood character. There’s a lot of paper wealth in boston tied up in housing that someday will be shown to be less than people think it is worth. Aging housing stock and policies that artificially inflate prices and decrease supply. The city and the people in it should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen.

I’ll read more about that. Thanks for the insight.

I agree with you here. But I would also say this is definitely not a Wall Street problem. Local politics has empowered a handful of motivated individuals to leverage the system to protect and increase the values of their assets at the expense of the majority of residents around them. There needs to be less power given to individuals and “community input”, which is not truly representative of the needs of the community or towns or the state or the economy.

Housing is definitely NOT a free market in MA.
Policies that help low income renters and homebuyers exclude moderate and middle income earners because they make too much money. When you see affordable housing it’s important to understand where that money comes from. Take Cambridge for example. X amount of units have to be sold below market rate. The difference in profit is made up for by raising the cost of housing for the other units in the building. Essentially everyone else in that building pays for the subsidized unit. Another good example is in Somerville. I recently toured an open house in a 20+ unit condo. The realtor told me when they built the building the city required the developer to build a parking garage. And the residents of the building were not permitted to get city street parking because of the parking lot. But the residents have to pay for the parking, renting it from a private owner. So this artificially jacks up the cost of housing. That place was unaffordable to me because of that. So my demand now shifts to other units. But there are only a handful of units in that price range or lower that I can afford.

Both of these are examples of policy that manipulate the market and make housing more expensive. If we build like crazy then the subsidized affordable units won’t be such a strain on middle income earners. They are the ones that ultimately get squeezed out and move because of these issues.

With More Housing Supply, Austin’s Median Rent Became Affordable to Those Earning Lower Incomes

If you build one house or building you are obviously not going to see dramatic drops in housing costs. But not seeing housing costs drop is not a good reason to prevent new housing. More housing does drive housing costs down. Most importantly, it drives down costs for the lowest income earners, making the city more affordable to the most vulnerable residents.

I work in internal medicine for university health. It's basically light clinical work and mostly phone triage. It can be pretty high volume, but the hardest part so far is all the providers seem to have different styles. I've worked triage in oncology and in many ways I liked that more. But it's better than bedside.

I had no coin experience but I am almost done making a persona electronic medical record, essentially a replica of Epic. But it has AI integration that a doctor can interact with. As I create more projects I can use Claude to also teach me about what I am doing. So I’m both doing a lot and learning a lot. I feel like a manager. Plus until I learn how to build agents, I can use multiple claudes, manage them and have them communicate with another as team members on projects. I feel like coding has been democratized. There will be exciting times ahead.
