Yeah it's awesome. It's a great example of academic research that's grounded in real-world challenges - and I love that the authors provided city-specific estimates (for the discontinuities in cost paper and the multifamily cost drivers paper). Makes it much easier for policymakers to apply!
Another great article on a topic that I find really thorny - you would think building here would be cheaper given that transport costs of materials to here would be (theoretically) cheaper. Excited to see y'all dig into the topic! I'll also plug a resource (https://www.construction-physics.com/p/what-makes-housing-so-expensive) breaking down why constructions costs across the US are so stubborn to bring down.
That research you cited on marginal cost per building story is fascinating, thanks for putting this together!
