Condon claims to be a pragmatic empiricist, but he actually relies on extreme theoretical scenarios. He thinks in memes, not models. The result is a flawed analysis of housing policy. Condon misunderstands the relationship between land and housing prices, and incorrectly identifies upzoning as the main… ## [A review of Murray's 'Great Housing Hijack'](http://michaelwiebe.com/blog/2025/08/hijack_review) _2025-08-19 · The blog of Michael Wiebe_ In The Great Housing Hijack , Cameron Murray sets up a framework with five equilibria (asset price, rental, spatial, density, and absorption rate), which he applies to various policy issues. I found a couple of insightful points.

Because land is an input into the production of housing, upzoning reduces the cost of building apartments, and hence is a key policy option… ## [A YIMBY FAQ](http://michaelwiebe.com/blog/2024/09/yimby_faq) _2024-09-12 · The blog of Michael Wiebe_ What caused the housing crisis? Skyrocketing housing costs in big cities are caused by demand for housing increasing faster than supply. The key mechanism underlying the housing crisis is the demand cascade : richer people move in and bid up the price of new homes, which pushes less-rich locals to compete for old homes, which forces the poor to take on roommates, move away, or become homeless.… ## [A supply and demand model of housing, part 2: unit demand](http://michaelwiebe.com/blog/2024/09/unit_demand) _2024-09-05 · The blog of Michael Wiebe_ In the last post I used continuous quantities of housing: people could buy, say, 1.26 homes. Here I show how a supply and demand model works with discrete quantities, and with a unit demand constraint, where people buy at most one unit of housing. This involves a different approach than the perfect substitutes case, but we arrive at the same conclusion regarding vacancy chains, demand cascades,…
