You're only saying this because you don't like the outcome of economic research. So called "soft" sciences are the best way to get close to the truth in those fields even if it's harder to get undeniable answers.

A lot of these things can scale vertically rather than horizontally. If you allow denser housing by building higher, schools and hospitals can also build higher.

Namedtuples also behave like tuples, which is great when you want to incrementally turn tuples into classes but if you want an easy way of creating classes, it's probably not a good idea to have them behave like tuples. Plus dataclasse

The book "Why nations fail" makes the claim that centralized institutions (among other things) are necessary for building a prosperous country. It's a very interesting read.

Absolutely not, they protect current renters, not people with the lowest wages, people with the shittiest jobs have been priced out already. Rent control protects the millionaires renting in Mayfair as well.

I don't support policies that actively entrench the status quo. I'm for taxation that's as high as possible without causing too much negative impact on investments. We're having a conversation about rent control here tho

Source on the "plenty" of empty flats in London? The number I found is 29,242 which is hardly something that'll get the prices down.

There's also pretty big restrictions on how high you can build in most places, I looked up the zoning document for Tower Hamlets and the parts of the borough allowing tall buildings is extremely tiny.

> So maybe rent control's effect on supply is vastly overblown. Just because rent control negatively affects supply doesn't mean bad supply is only caused by rent control. I live in London too and I'm baffled by the lack o
