Why Building a Lot of ‘Affordable’ Housing Is Bad News for Affordability
Happy Tuesday and Happy New Year! With the cost of housing ever-present in the public consciousness, state legislatures reconvening, and elections out of the way, we can expect 2025 to be action-packed with lots of wonky housing policy fights. Rent Free will be here to cover them all. As policymakers go about considering reforms aimed at making their cities more affordable, it’s important to understand what success will look like.

Lawless I: The Illiberal Takeover of Legal Education
Thanks to Eugene for inviting me to participate in the Volokh Conspiracy’s venerable tradition of the author’s weeklong guest-blog.

Then again, it may also make Ilya Confusion harder to discern, because the most common way I recognize interlocutors who are thinking of “the other Ilya” (Somin) is when they reference my blogging on […]

Unsurprisingly, many potential homebuyers were—and still are—shocked and upset. As in years past, many politicians have latched on to the anger surrounding the recent housing […]

Milei’s Key Pending Task: Ending Argentina’s Currency Controls (Part II)
Daniel Raisbeck The evidence in Argentina already shows that relaxing controls leads to a massive influx of dollars into the banking system, as would occur under an official dollarization process (whereby a government grants the dollar legal tender or simply allows its use under the free competition of currencies). And yet the currency clamp remains. Though not explicit, the Milei government seems keen to avoid the experience of former President Mauricio Macri (2015–2019). During his government, a rapid removal […]
