A new report from @nberpubs and a forthcoming paper at Cities suggest that political partisanship, whether Republican or Democrat, has no effect on the supply of single and multifamily housing. The report indicates that recent extreme partisanship has not impacted housing supply, with US cities following the median voter. The findings challenge the notion that mayoral partisanship influences housing supply, as YIMBYs and NIMBYs are found to be bipartisan in their impact on housing supply.
Does political partisanship affect housing supply? According to this new paper, not really! "We find that partisanship has no effect on the supply of single and multifamily housing..., corroborating that US cities follow the median voter." https://t.co/Lsf8hQrJsq https://t.co/LtOGCf7yHl
Does rural satisfaction with place of residence drive conservative political ideology and help explain the urban-rural divide? Jim Gimpel and I find evidence of that hypothesis in our forthcoming paper at Cities. https://t.co/5NKKMVDWbZ https://t.co/43w4jR1iFz
Check the record: Preston and his progressive colleagues are not against housing. A new report shows that Yimby allegations are factually inaccurate—and miss the point. https://t.co/6r1po038cH

Whether the mayor is a Republican or Democrat seems to have little effect on housing supply. YIMBYs and NIMBYs are both bipartisan, I guess. https://t.co/NjogfIXbF6
