Homeownership is well below 50% of the voting eligible population in many major cities. But it’s the majority of the voters. There are many studies on homeownership and voting. I recommend the book “The Homevoter Hypothesis” if you’d like to start informing yourself about these issues!
> In 2001 William Fischel of Harvard University proposed his “homevoter hypothesis”. The thinking runs that owner-occupiers have an incentive to resist development in their local area, since doing so helps preserve the value of their property. This is a common sentiment that, I think,…
…people. Maximizing property values is such a central concern of local government in the United States that Dartmouth economist William Fischel developed the notion into an entire political theory. His “homevoter hypothesis” holds that local governments are almost single-mindedly focused on maximizing real estate values, because homeowners typically vote their home values in local elections. German jurisdictions gain financially…
…since the 1970s that housing should be a good investment. Low property taxes (Proposition 13) and zoning restrictions are designed to increase the private gains to this investment (https://www.amazon.com/Homevoter-Hypothesis-Influence-Govern...). A small change of use to short-term rentals is perhaps the next incremental step for house investors. It sucks for people who want to use housing as only a peaceful consumption good,…

在很多大城市里，拥有自住房的人数远低于合资格选民总数的 50%。但他们却构成了实际去投票的大多数。关于住房拥有率和投票行为的研究非常多。如果你想开始了解这些问题，我推荐《房民假说》（The Homevoter Hypothesis）这本书！

> 2001 年，哈佛大学的威廉·菲舍尔（William Fischel）提出了他的“房民假说”（homevoter hypothesis）。其核心逻辑是，自住业主有动力抵制本地的新开发项目，因为这样做有助于维持他们自住房产的价值。这是一种非常普遍的心态，我认为，……

……人们。在美国，实现房产价值最大化是地方政府的核心关注点，以至于达特茅斯学院的经济学家威廉·菲舍尔将其拓展成了一整套政治理论。他的“房民假说”认为，地方政府几乎是一门心思扑在让房地产升值上，因为房主在地方选举中通常都会把选票投给能让自己房子升值的政策。德国各辖区在财政上获得的……

……自 1970 年代以来就觉得住房理应是一项好投资。低房产税（13号提案，Proposition 13）和分区规划限制，都是为了增加这种投资的个人收益（https://www.amazon.com/Homevoter-Hypothesis-Influence-Govern...）。轻度改变用途拿去做短租，大概是炒房客下一步循序渐进的动作。对于只想把住房单纯当作安居消费品的人来说，这太操蛋了，……
