Successful solutions require a holistic approach considering local conditions, transportation, and community needs.Links relevant to the conversationKevin's Wikipedia entry:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_KennonEconomics Explored episode w/ Natalie Rayment, YIMBY QLD on the Missing Middle in housing:https://economics-explained.simplecast.com/episodes/missing-middle-housing-other-urban-planning-issuesLumo Coffee promotion10% of Lumo Coffee's Seriously Healthy Organic Coffee.Website: https://www.lumocoffee.com/10EXPLOREDPromo code: 10EXPLORED Full transcripts are available a few days after the episode is first published at www.economicsexplored.com.

The incoming President of Ennis Chamber has described the lack of functioning wastewater treatment plants in the town as "preposterous". According to Uisce Éireann's register, there is no available capacity at the Clareabbey sewerage plant, although an upgrade is planned. It's unlikely that any proposed developments near the plant can happen until the works are complete, and the local authority is now being urged to rezone lands for residential use near the Clon Road facility instead. Diarmuid McMahon of Sherry Fitzgerald McMahon Real Estate Agents says development has effectively been sterilised for half the town.

A housing development for you. A housing development that once again shows how reality beats theory. Housing is a New Zealand obsession. We love housing and we long to own housing. It encroaches on immigration and whether too many people lead to higher prices. It encroaches on politics and the expectation as to what Governments do about housing and the prices of said housing. It involves social housing, emergency housing, KiwiSaver, incomes, the Reserve Bank, deposits and LVR's. It is all encompassing. In theory, if you could make building cheaper, we would be keen, wouldn't we? Yes, I hear you say. So what happened to Clever Core? Clever Core is Fletcher's prefab house building factory. The factory is closing. Why, I hear you ask? Because, to quote Fletchers, "it had not worked". Demand was the issue because there wasn't enough of it. If you had conducted a survey and asked, "could prefab housing help the so-called housing crisis in this country?" you would have got an overwhelming yes. Yet, did we follow our enthusiasm up with sales? Obviously not. Resistance from the building industry is another phrase Fletchers used. You see, as I have said many times, we are happy to moan about the cost of building, the cost of GIB, how cheap it is in Australia and how much a deck out back for the BBQ would be. But prefab? Oh, no thank you. Essentially, we are hosing snobs. It's sort of like with coffee - we moan about $6 for a flat white but pay it anyway. Not that there is anything wrong with that. If you want to pay anywhere between $10,000-35,000 per square metre that's great. But what Clever Core reveals is we don't actually want to save. Often, we don't actually want solutions. What we want is what we have, and like, except at a better price. We want what we can't have. What we can have, we don't want. Ask Fletchers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over 200 people attended a public hearing on March 5 to challenge a feasibility study that approves Kane Creek developers to establish a preliminary municipality in Grand County. The study found that if incorporated, the luxury housing and commercial development would be financially viable, a requirement for moving forward with the project. But many Moab residents disagreed with the findings, arguing that the results were based on unrealistic assumptions about the local economy. While the hearing gave residents an opportunity to ask questions and air grievances, a representative from the Lt. Governor's Office who moderated the meeting, Jordan Schwanke, said the results of the study are final, and the project will move ahead regardless. Photo: Audience members display a banner that says: Repeal SB258. The bill established the preliminary municipality process, which enables landowners to incorporate their property even without any residents. A new bill to essentially repeal SB258 — House Bill 540 — is currently making its way through the Utah Legislature. Lawmakers will decide by March 7. Photo by Emily Arntsen / KZMU.

Discover why building a home in California now costs over $1.2 million per unit as we navigate the maze of the state's housing crisis with Gary London and Jennifer Hernandez. These experts shed light on the staggering decline in permits for single and multifamily homes and discuss why, despite numerous housing laws, the production needle remains stuck. We unravel the complex tapestry of regulatory barriers and economic pressures that are stalling housing projects and stress the critical role of high-paying jobs in allowing consumers to afford these increasingly expensive homes.In this episode, we confront the inefficiencies plaguing affordable housing financing. By dissecting the current reliance on public funding and tax credits, we examine how this model sidelines private developers and disproportionately burdens low-income families. We also explore the geographic variations in building permits across Southern California and analyze how cutting-edge technologies like AI and autonomous vehicles could reshape living spaces and potentially offer fresh solutions to these pressing housing issues.Our journey delves into the innovative solutions that could transform housing development, particularly in urban areas like Berkeley. We spotlight the local opposition that high-density projects face and consider alternative solutions such as townhomes and detached condos. This episode also considers the broader global context, discussing how the housing challenges in California reverberate in other parts of the world. Join us as we ponder generational shifts and new perspectives that could empower future generations to chart a new course in housing development, emphasizing the need for tools that can shape a more sustainable and affordable future.Support Our WorkThe Center for Demographics and Policy focuses on research and analysis of global, national, and regional demographic trends and explores policies that might produce favorable demographic results over time.

With the BC provincial election approaching on October 19th, housing policy has become a focal point for both major parties—the NDP and the Conservatives. Each party has released its housing platform, but the Conservative Party's approach has sparked significant debate due to its "ambitious" tax-cut promises and plans to further streamline housing development.The Conservatives introduced the "Rustad Rebate," a tax cut that exempts rent, mortgage interest, and strata fees from BC income tax, starting at $1,500/month in 2026 and increasing to $3,000/month by 2029. While this would save a typical BC taxpayer around $105/month in its first year, critics argue that this rebate is a token gesture that does little to tackle the root causes of the housing affordability crisis.A standout promise is to drastically shorten the permit approval process, with a 6-month window for rezoning and 3 months for building permits. However, we have concerns over whether the province has the resources and expertise to enforce these timelines across multiple municipalities, particularly when recent efforts by Vancouver's Mayor Ken Sim have shown limited success in expediting permits under a similar framework.Here are the Conservative Proposals in Brief:1. Rustad Rebate: Offers BC residents tax deductions for housing expenses, but savings are marginal compared to soaring housing costs.2. Permit Approval Timelines: Promises to expedite housing approvals but lacks clarity on implementation and enforcement.3. Repeal of NDP Regulations: Aims to remove certain building codes that allegedly increase construction costs but provides no detailed analysis.4. Support Transit-Oriented Communities: Emphasizes building complete communities near transit hubs, but developers already incorporate these elements without government mandates. So..?5. Infrastructure Fund: Proposes a $1 billion annual fund for municipalities, yet doesn't address the revenue shortfall from proposed tax cuts. Where is the money coming from?September Market StatsThe latest market data for September is out and its status quo in the housing market as prices continue to drop. Key highlights include:The benchmark price dropped for the 4th month in a row, down 1.4% month-over-month and 7% below the peak in April 2022. At $925,000, the median price fell by $20,000, marking a total drop of $70,000 over four months.Despite rising inventory levels, buyer sentiment remains cautious as quality listings are limited. With election day approaching, it remains to be seen if either party's housing plan can reverse this trend and provide relief to struggling homeowners and prospective buyers alike._________________________________ Connect With Us To Talk Real Estate:
