Given that flu vaccine is needed annually, we don’t have nearly the coverage we are trying for with COVID. Hopefully, COVID vaccines (and natural immunity for those who recovered) hold for much longer than flu vaccines, so that we can actua

Concentration of jobs without adequate increase in housing leads to that extra room for an office being exorbitantly priced. Then again, if you can rely on wfh, why concentrate to that degree?

That’s definitely picking winners and losers, but not inherent to the real estate itself. Just shows that populist polices are not new. EDIT: also, why prop 13 applies to non-residential real estate is another issue.

Not at all, owners take on the risk and capital responsibility. I suspect those who bought in Detroit in the peak of that market would not look like a winner today. An extreme example, but still. Other less extreme examples would be in inte

Without additional supply, you might succeed at dampening demand and temporarily decreasing prices - most US homebuyers are shopping a payment similar to rent (and accounting for their downpayment amount). However for places that have more
