Question from my latest livestream (every Thursday at 3ET). What can recent grads do to get hired in the age of AI?

Trying to improve my posture, and I am being punished with sore back muscles. Self improvement sucks.

The journalists are migrating to TikTok, and the TikTokers are migrating to YouTube. And the only place it feels right to post this is on BlueSky for some reason.

Land value tax explained in one minute.

It's a buyer's market (in much of the country, it's a renter's market too!) But not everyone is going to get a better deal because negotiation is a skill. Most negotiation advice is about confidence or manipulation tactics. But the economics says otherwise: youtu.be/mFu94nim-kU

Apropos of nothing. One of my all time favorite video games is Tropico where your role play a dictator. You can win by carefully managing the needs of your citizens along with the economy, but you can also win by funneling money into a Swiss Bank Account and absconding.

Oil futures are climbing again! The Strait of Hormuz has now been closed since end of February, and markets that priced in a short war are starting to reprice. Mortgage rates are up because of it. We're not at the $10/gallon doomsday yet, but every week this drags on, the odds creep higher.

Everyone said San Francisco 🌉 was dead 💀, but the data 📊 says the opposite. Since ChatGPT launched: Bay Area luxury home prices +13% yoy, affordable neighborhoods -4%. I broke down the data on whether this is a bubble or the new normal. youtu.be/O4HlI76yWL4

Warsh must have wished on a cursed monkey paw to be Fed Chair, because he is either going to keep rates high and become Trump's new enemy #1, or he is going to lower rates, despite rising inflation, and go down in history as the worst Fed Chair ever.

When I bought my apartment, when I was 30, everyone in my family took it as a signal that I had "given up" on the idea of marriage. My paternal grandparents were bitterly disappointed. Even my mother, a 2nd Wave feminist, was dubious.

The Redfin Data Center just got a makeover. If you are looking for free, downloadable data on national and local markets, this is for you! All we ask is that you cite Redfin. Enjoy! www.redfin.com/news/data-ce...

Single men are 30% more likely to own a home than single women. Most people blame the pay gap, but the real reason is a social norm that punishes women for buying before marriage. I dug into millions of census records to find out why. youtu.be/aaPSafSmqEo

The AI boom isn't lifting all boats. Since Nov 2022, SF luxury home prices rose 13.4% while affordable areas declined. This real estate divide mirrors the gap between tech’s big winners and workers fearing AI replacement. 🤖🏘️

terrific, persuasive piece by @hatethegamebook.com on why a land value tax makes so much sense...and modern data analytics make computing land value accurately easier than ever. open.substack.com/pub/hatetheg...

U.S. home prices have quadrupled since 1995, but it's not that homes got more expensive to build. It's that the LAND We tax buildings the same as land, so owners are rewarded for keeping lots empty and penalized for building homes. Watch my latest YouTube on Land Value Tax youtu.be/v8bvin28SbA

Why are we bulldozing forests while city parking lots sit empty? 🌳🚫 It’s the tax code. By taxing buildings instead of just land, we incentivize sprawl. But a solution from the 1800s is back: Land Value Tax. 📈 The key to affordable housing AND a greener planet?🌎🏙️

Why aren't home prices crashing despite record low demand? 🏠📉 With 80% of owners locked into low rates and record equity, nobody is forced to sell. The market is stuck. Full breakdown below, including analysis of Redfin data 👇 youtu.be/Pj1TeLA5qUc

I had a great time joining Planet Money on their book tour. Go get the book!

One of the most unexpected accomplishments of my book is that now when you search for "Hate the Game" my book is the first result. It used to be a Young Thug song, but not anymore. A cultural victory for Hate the Game the Book!

I can't believe it's been one whole year since Hate the Game hit bookshelves! Writing this book was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I'm so grateful it reached so many readers.

More sellers are cutting prices than any February since 2012, and they are having to adjust their expectations down by $40k on average. That's according to a new Redfin report (link in thread).

I've heard from Redfin agents that some homebuyers are waiting for Trump's pick for Fed Chair to lower mortgage rates before they buy. In this video I explain where that logic goes wrong and what actually moves mortgage rates: youtu.be/dF8pRrcW3UU

I was just at the Dallas Fed, and the conversation was dominated by one question: How long is inflation going to remain a problem? While the main focus is energy and AI, there is a major deflator hiding in plain sight: Efficient Land Use. youtu.be/igo1UU_PpPc

The housing market is hitting stagflation. Jobs are cooling, but the unauthorized war in Iran is keeping oil prices and rates high. Sellers are losing patience and re-listings are at a decade high, giving buyers more leverage.

Holy cow, rates up to 6.53% today! A borrower putting 20% down on a $600,000 home would pay $168 more now than they would have the day before the U.S. bombed Iran when rates were 5.99%. War is costly in innumerable ways, including the cost of homeownership.

If we want more people to be able to live in Manhattan on a modest salary, we don't need more rent stabilized apartments we need many, many more 380 sq ft apartments like this woman has. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Is Wall Street buying every house? Data says no. 🏠 Mega-investors own <1% of homes. The real culprits? A 4M-home shortage, NIMBYism, and the lock-in effect. Small mom & pop"landlords (22%) dwarf big firms. Watch for the full breakdown! 📊 youtu.be/78OrLE4DC9M

The housing market is hitting stagflation. Jobs are cooling, but the unauthorized war in Iran is keeping oil prices and rates high. Sellers are losing patience and re-listings are at a decade high, giving buyers more leverage.

Even though I'm an economist, I wish there was more focus on the human suffering from this war and less focus on the economic consequences. Hundreds of little girls are dead, and we're worried about oil prices.

The Road to Housing Act has gotten a lot of attention for banning institutional investors. That ban won't make housing more affordable, but the rule changes around manufactured homes could! Lets cut the bad parts and keep the good, and get this act passed.

Florida condo owners lost $60,000 in equity in one year. Orlando condo owners gained 11%. Same state. Same year. I break down exactly why — and what happens next. youtu.be/DMI7VZ36_Rk

🏗️The places that built the most housing during the pandemic have the fewest bidding wars, and the places that neglected to build have the most. 🏘️ See percent of homes selling above list price by county.

67% of Gen Z are struggling to afford their housing costs according to a recent Redfin report. 🏠📉 Between high rents, and a weak labor market, the struggle is real. Rents are coming down in the places that built the most during the pandemic: the solution is to build housing! 🏗️

@juanmoisesdelas.bsky.social could you send me the paper with the result you referred to? [email protected]. thanks

The housing markets that had the biggest pandemic booms in home prices are now the markets where it the most difficult to sell. See this graph showing the negative (-45%) correlation between share of home listings sold in two weeks in Jan 2026 and price growth from 2020-2022
