Housing Pressure Moves From Policy to Parcels

Across Southeastern Connecticut, local boards are moving from discussion to action — studying rezoning requests, updating subdivision rules, reviewing utility costs, and implementing state housing mandates that could reshape land values and development feasibility.

Why I Changed My Mind About Housing Bubbles

Revisiting an old theory in light of what the pandemic — and our own local data — taught us about prices, value, and the dollar itself.

Editor’s Note

This article revisits and corrects an earlier piece published on this blog — “Housing Bubbles & Market Crashes: The Holy Grail,” originally written by Barry Neilsen and modified by Tim Bray. The years since have tested its central claim, and I’d rather correct the record openly than let an old argument stand unchallenged.
