Do we truly think in five years these people are just going to be Zooming it in from their suburban bedrooms? That sounds totally implausible to me. Take your Silicon Valley startup with 15 smart, hungry young people. If you are a small town like a college town, a place with high levels of amenities and beautiful scenery where rich people want to go, I think that the combination of the ability to do work remotely and perhaps some enduring pandemic fears means that you are as strong as you’ve ever been, if not more so. Price, who generally does excellent interviews, does a nice interview of Glaeser.Īsked about the future of small towns after the pandemic, Glaeser says it’s a tale of two towns. In Econ Focus, a publication of the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank, interviewer David A. housing market since the adoption of the automobile.” Writes Dougherty, “He started blogging about housing costs and writing op-eds about housing costs and becoming the subject of various newspaper profiles where he called the advent of strict zoning the most important shift in the U.S. While many academics who come up with powerful results simply move on to the next interesting area, Glaeser believes in publicizing his results. One reason I’m particularly fond of Glaeser is that he’s an activist. In that book, Glaeser is one of the heroes who recognizes that, as my title put it, the solution to expensive housing is more housing.
Earlier this year, I gave a positive review of Conor Dougherty’s Golden Gates: Fighting for Housing in America.
One of my favorite economists at Harvard is Edward Glaeser, who has done outstanding work on cities and on housing.
