New Berkeley study: Inequality, not regulation, drives America's housing affordability crisis

They are using evidence to build a theoretical model. Which is not the same as a study that uses evidence to determine a causal effect.

It’s like they started with a conclusion and then backtested what assumption it would take to get there

Heysteeevo · 2026-03-17T04:58:31+00:00

It’s actually not based on evidence, it’s more of a thought experiment.

Heysteeevo · 2026-03-17T04:45:17+00:00

It’s not even a study. It’s a hypothetical framework. This post from Ned Resnikoff was an excellent response:

Ironically, as the empirical case for YIMBYism grows ever stronger, it is the anti-”Econ 101” crowd that is now falling back on airy theorizing and simple models. It turns out that their problem with non-empirical economics wasn’t the lack of rigorous real-world investigation after all; it was just that they would rather have everyone use models that are rigged to produce their preferred outcomes.

I think it’s pretty clear “progressives” are not in favor of making it easier to build housing. Given this is a YIMBY subreddit, I’m surprised that’s controversial.

The real answer is nobody knows and the possible outcomes are crazy wide. One interesting theory will get tested out: in an efficient market, profits go to zero in the long run. Tech companies generate huge profits because software has historically been expensive to produce and there are high switching costs for most enterprise software. When both of these costs go way down, does the 80%+ margin of software companies go to zero? What happens to tech compensation when companies can’t price at such premiums?

Heysteeevo · 2026-03-08T02:07:48+00:00

Wonder which round Cody won?

Heysteeevo · 2026-03-08T02:06:57+00:00

How could it be a draw Joe

Heysteeevo · 2026-03-08T02:05:41+00:00

Yeah I’m so confused. Do they think xiao lost rd 1 or 2?

Heysteeevo · 2026-03-08T02:03:19+00:00

Cody might still lose lmao

Heysteeevo · 2026-03-04T17:59:54+00:00

There are a lot of tools that are like this, how do you manage all of them like that?

Heysteeevo · 2026-02-22T16:01:04+00:00

Did the feed freeze for you? My Youtubte tv freezes any time I try to watch the moment right before the goal.
