„#Mietpreisbremse“ ist heuer ein Kandidat für das #oewort des Jahres. Sie ist aber nicht nur eine viel genutzte Phrase. Sondern senkt effektiv Mieten, ohne dabei Vermieter:innen zu verschrecken. Das zeigt euch Leonard Jüngling im #PaperderWoche. /1

Today's latest homelessness stats make for very grim reading: In England, the number of people rough sleeping rose by 27 per cent between the autumn of 2022 and 2023. In London, there was a 32 per cent increase.

Glad to have participated in Vicky Spratt's newsletter about rent control. Some takeaways: ✅ Rent control can be a great policy option to improve housing affordability in the short term. ☑️ It needs to be accompanied by other policies, particularly expanding supply.

In a recent working paper, Rodrigo Martínez and I discuss how floods affect urban distribution using Spanish data. We hope our findings can help inform the policy discussions that will follow in the wake of these tragic events ⬇️ papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

More grim homelessness data: The number of people sleeping rough in London has hit a new record high. 4, 780 people were sleeping on London's streets between July and Sept 2024. That's up 18 per cent on 2023. 682 were "living on the streets". Up 42 per cent on 2023.
