[Capr-announce] [Capr-admin] Housing costs

[robert vos]

This really needs to go out to our CAPR announce list!  This proves the central themes of the CAPR efforts, that 1) Regulations are terrifically expensive, and 2) that the media is one-sided and/or ignorant on this issue!  Our membership needs to be hit with this information!  I notice the poll numbers greatly favor our viewpoint also.

  Mr. Ross:

Just a quick note to remind you of a one-sided, on-air conversation you and
Aaron Ostrum had with me many months ago. I'm the guy who called in to
inform you of the work of Professors Glaeser and Gyorko who had determined
that the regulatory cost of houses in the Seattle area is over $200,000. You
and Mr. Ostrum were rude and domineering and treated me like an ignorant
hick.

Imagine my surprise today when I heard Professor Theo Eicher quoting the
same study and the same numbers on your show and being treated cordially.

I can only hope that you actually read and understood the materials that I
sent to you after that show. Everyone starts out ignorant of all subjects
and must learn for themselves what the facts are. Better late than never.
Perhaps from this point forward you will give more credence to spokespersons
for our organization. We do our homework, unlike Mr. Ostrum.
