The high cost of housing and what to do about it w/ Peter Tulip, CIS Chief Economist - EP134

Property prices have been surging across major cities in advanced economies. In Australia, a parliamentary inquiry has recently investigated housing affordability, and it handed down a report with some compelling policy recommendations in March 2022. Our guest this episode provided an influential submission to that inquiry. His name is Peter Tulip, and he’s the Chief Economist at the Centre for Independent Studies (CIS), a leading Australian think tank. Peter explains how town planning and zoning rules can substantially increase the cost of housing.
