Hell yeah - we need some more French options in DTSP. stpeterising.com/home/french-bi…
America, we have a problem. According to the government's own data, individual homebuyers have outmuscled investors over the last eight years-- gaining market share and pushing up the homeownership rate to some of the highest levels in history outside of the bubble / GFC years.…
Demand to live in Austin exploded over the last decade. Yet rents in Austin are now down -- I repeat, down -- against rents in the rest of the country. And all they did was allow massive amounts of new housing. That was it. That was their "one weird trick." Allowing more supply.

Refreshing approach. Too many are framing this as a binary, yes or no vote. Council can demand changes to make sure that at a minimum, we get what's been promised. That's in everyone's interest, including the Rays!

Hard to see why this is true. Several competitive council races coming up and lots of talking points in current deal - e.g. paltry $25k/unit penalty for failing to build affordable housing More likely outcome IMO is we get some improvements to current deal and it passes

Here are the top 15 markets for apartment demand in the past 12 months. These are some very big numbers, and yet... not enough to keep pace with supply anywhere-- even outside the Sun Belt. No, it's not because would-be homebuyers are renting instead. Remember those folks are 1)…
Wow had no idea it was this bad. So many lenders got burned in 2008 and lending standards have stayed tight since.

Given an 8-3 vote tonight by San Francisco's leaders to downzone the wealthy waterfront neighborhoods to protect the views of millionaire homeowners, I figure I'd show a visual representation of the amount of housing the city approved in January. Yes, it's in red, look closely.
