Narratives w/Will Jarvis

CHAPTER

More Housing Almost Always Benefits

More housing almost always benefits, is almost always beneficial for a ind of aggregate global welfare. But the system that jerusalem is criticising is one where you basically have no incentive to say yes. The benefits are pretty centralized, and then really only accrue to the landowners who would be able to build more densely. And i think it ill do it through what is in effect a cosian bargain, where your effectively being able to sell your objection to new housing in exchange for you also getting permission to build more housing. I don't think it will solve the problem by any means, but i think it will get us quite a bit more housing.
