Very nice piece explaining housing prices with some simple, easy to understand, models. I like it.

Generally speaking, as I will explore in an upcoming essay in Risk & Progress, we want our cities to be big. Scaling laws show super linear outputs (GDP, incomes, patent applications…etc) as the population grows with sublinear inputs (highways, phone lines, electric lines…etc).
