Haters and losers who don't subscribe to this newsletter”
I'm sure that was simply a lame joke. But the unpleasant fact is that the vast majority of human beings will never know that you and I exist. And will never be able to benefit (or suffer) from our direct impact on their lives.
Hello! I have been an avid reader of Economic Forces for the past several months. I agree with most of what you have written, but even when I disagree, I always find it insightful.
I would be interested in your thoughts concerning my January 2025 Substack Post "Housing: Goodbye Drought, Hello Glut." I think it is right in your wheelhouse.. In it, I argued that America's much ballyhooed housing shortage is an illusion. In fact, I was convinced we have a significant housing surplus (albeit not in every region) and future house prices are fated to drop, at least in real terms. The apparent shortage stems from a logjam between the Bid and the Ask that will continue to take time to resolve (absent some sort of crisis). I think this is already starting to sort out in markets like Florida, Austin, and Las Vegas where prices are falling..
It was an incredible time at UCLA in the 70’s and 80’s. William Allen wrote a small piece. But someone should write a bigger story. I always appreciate your references to the people who made this an extraordinary environment.

I think you will find many of my other posts interesting. Including "Basel: Faulty" which reveals the true cause of the 2008 Financial Crisis.
