[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Harvard Business Review takes an evidence-filled bat to nearly every single YIMBY talking point. Just a complete takedown: https://hbr.org/2024/09/the-market-alone-cant-fix-the-u-s-housing-crisis[/quote] The YIMBYs have been nearly totally silent about the rent fixing scandal, especially local elected officials and planners. When any of them has talked about it, they’ve claimed that zoning changes would make collusion impossible, but this article does a good job of explaining why that’s not the case. Housing policy much close to this article (including upzoning) would lead to a much healthier market than we have now. YIMBYs should be shouting this from the rooftops but instead they’re either ignoring it or pushing their usual lines on deregulation and tax cuts. [/quote]
