The Folk Economics of Housing

news.ycombinator.com Elmendorf 2025-11-24 17:10:41

Abstract Why is housing supply so severely restricted in US cities and suburbs? Urban economists offer two primary hypotheses: homeowner self-interest and political fragmentation. Homeowners, who outnumber and have organizational advantages over renters, are said to lobby against development to protect their property values. The fragmentation hypothesis emphasizes that development's negative externalities are borne locally while most of the benefits accrue regionally or nationally, leading local

Feast Your Eyes on the Lavish Backdrops of ‘Ne Zha II’

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-11-24 20:45:17

Ne Zha II has already carved out its place in animation history—this year alone, it shattered records to become the highest-grossing animated film as well as the eighth-highest-grossing film, full stop, of all time. Its reputation now precedes it as a global phenomenon, and with that momentum, A24 is set to debut the film’s English-language release—featuring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh and anime favorite Aleks Le—in theaters and IMAX on August 22.

After watching Zach Cregger’s Weapons, a lot of things may run through your mind. There are the characters, the reveals, and the scares. Additionally, there’s a lot of actual running that could be running through your mind. Kids running through the streets. Kids running through the woods. Kids running through… other things on the hunt for… someone.

McKinsey Terrified as It Realizes AI Can Do Its Job Perfectly

Illustrious consulting firm McKinsey is staring down the barrel of AI. All those highly-paid suits are at risk as AI agents, AI models designed to autonomously carry out certain tasks, promise to do what they do with instant results — and without six-figure salary demands.

In January of 1995, Electronic Arts bought the prestigious British games studio Bullfrog Productions for an undisclosed sum that was rumored to be in the neighborhood of $45 million. The lives of the 35 or so people who worked at Bullfrog were transformed overnight. Peter Molyneux, the man who had build the studio’s reputation on the back of his “god game” Populous six years earlier, woke up the morning after the contract was signed with real money to spend for the first time in his life.

The Big ‘Superman’ Speech Happened After This Emotional Behind the Scenes Moment

Sometimes the most magical thing about a movie is seeing how it came together.
