NEW ODD LOTS: Jersey City saw its housing supply boom over the last decade. Tracy Alloway and I talked its mayor, Steven Fulop (candidate in next week's Dem gubernatorial primary) about how it happened, its replicability, and his goals in Trenton. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jer…

Among the things we talked about: - How much the supply boom can be linked to specific policies vs. NYC spillover - Why affordability in the city has continued to worsen in the city, despite the supply boom - The case for more market-rate housing - NJ Transit ++

An episode for all who care about the nuts & bolts of policy, whether it’s - housing YIMBYism & affordability -cost of govt & property taxes -fixing mass transit A governor w/ both a vision and real state & local govt experience is less likely to defer to entrenched interests

Abundance & state capacity are in the zeitgeist But if it's going to avoid the pitfalls of cheap slogans & underbaked policy design, gotta know the details Steven Fulop's detail & clarity on how Jersey City built so much housing is what we need more of: podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/jer…

Adding Lutnick to the talks reveals something critical: US export controls are now on the table. Worth pointing out Trump, in his first term, offered to lift export controls on Huawei and ZTE at Xi’s request to get a trade deal. What did — or will — he offer to lift now?

This is precisely the type of information that policymakers and business leaders need to make informed decisions in this environment. Also a nice reminder of the great research being done across the 12 Reserve Banks. Nice work Atlanta Fed ! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I agree with the broad statement that more housing is more housing. If 100k more people join a city but rents don’t go down that just adds more spending power and amenities. Think about it as getting a more vibrant city for the same cost, and still more room to grow.

Has Trump's two-month deadline elapsed? It was reportedly set in his March letter to Khamenei. Talks began on 12 April. Next Thursday is 12 June. Does it even matter? Trump hasn't mentioned it. It hasn't appeared in any official comments or readouts.
