Some good coverage of my working paper on housing filtering in The Atlantic today. The paper itself, The Downmarket Impact of New Multifamily Housing: Evidence from a Honolulu Condo Tower, is available here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

A common refrain of progressive urban politics is that “new, ‘luxury’ housing will not help solve the housing shortage,” Henry Grabar writes. But, according to a new study, “more housing supply of all kinds leads to lower prices in general terms”:

Even more evidence that building new housing decreases rents: Researchers tracked the residents of a newly built luxury condo building and found that they freed up less expensive apartments nearby. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Using detailed address-level microdata, we trace movement chains originating with
the initial residents of The Central and document three main findings. First, we show
the building generated a substantial number of local vacancies. We identify 180 specific
addresses that became vacant because of moves into The Central. Scaling to account
for data coverage suggests the new tower induced more than 500 local vacancies in
the three years after construction, by setting off chains of moves. Second, while The
Central units were expensive on a per-square-foot basis, the homes vacated by movers
were significantly cheaper. Homes left behind by those moving into The Central were
about 40% less expensive. Unlike much of the prior literature, which track the changing
neighborhood characteristics of movers

Our latest investigation with @propublica.org found that FEMA sidestepped its own policies when setting up a housing program for Maui wildfire survivors. As a result, some people were pushed out of their homes by landlords seeking higher rents. www.civilbeat.org/2024/11/maui...
