What’s Driving the Huge U.S. Rent Spike?Rent increases of 20% or more are making life difficult for low-income tenants in many cities, just as eviction bans and unemployment relief are running out. (...) The U.S. has long been behind on providing enough affordable housing options, said National Low Income Housing Coalition Vice President of Research Andrew Aurand, and the pandemic has exacerbated the problem further. While the federal government allocated $46 billion in emergency rental assistance, that relief has been slow to arrive in many parts of the country. “It’s a crisis,” he said. “Housing instability has a lot of detrimental impacts on families.” One of the more damaging aspects of the rent spike is that it limits the existing resources set aside to support low-income renters, says Deanna Watson, executive director of the Boise City/Ada County Housing Authorities. Her organization handles the housing choice vouchers program in the area, but only has enough to reach roughly 23% of those who need their help. The organization has spent roughly $13 million in emergency rental assistance since the beginning of March, but once this temporary Covid-related relief is spent, it’s gone, and can’t help the underlying issues of a shortage of units and elevated rents. Higher housing costs are pushing more people to or past the margins. An analysis of rental cost increases by Dwellsy found the cost of rent for Boise apartments in the 10% percentile of price, the most affordable, spiked 29%, more than the most expensive units.“We’re seeing people experiencing first-time homelessness, who six months ago were doing fine,” said Watson.Part of the issue is how the apartment market has shifted over the last decade. Today’s renters are impacted by the echo of the temporary but significant slowdown in new construction after the Great Recession. Those units, unbuilt due to a pause in construction, would have provided more slightly older and affordable options.
The days of cheaper rentals are overRent prices are rising rapidly across the country, and the number of people seeking rental apartments has returned to pre-pandemic levels or higher, according to home-search websites.

U.S.' Blinken urges China to act responsibly in Evergrande crisis - Bloomberg NewsOct 6 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the U.S. wants China to act "responsibly" when it comes to addressing the potential impacts of China Evergrande Group's (3333.HK) financial crisis, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday."China has to make sovereign economic decisions for itself, but we also know that what China does economically is going to have profound ramifications, profound effects, on literally the entire world because all of our economies are so intertwined," Blinken said in an interview with Bloomberg."So certainly when it comes to something that could have a major impact on the Chinese economy we look to China to act responsibly and to deal effectively with any challenges," the report quoted Blinken as saying.
Not easy being greenLess than two weeks ago, Boris Johnson told the General Assembly of the United Nations that “when Kermit the frog sang ‘It’s Not Easy Bein’ Green’, I want you to know he was wrong.” Perhaps not since Neville Chamberlain returned from Munich in September 1938 declaring “peace in our time” has a British prime minister said anything so spectacularly mistimed. At least it took a year before Britain was at war with Nazi Germany. Within days of Johnson’s comments, energy problems were surfacing around the world, from natural gas shortages in Europe to power cuts in China. The global energy crisis changes everything. Not least, it will make the cost of going green a great deal trickier.Even before the pandemic, global energy production was failing to keep up with demand. U.S. shale output – the world’s main source of extra oil supply over the past decade – was in decline. During the Great Lockdown, demand for energy collapsed, and a lack of storage facilities sent oil prices into negative territory. Producers cut investment by 30% last year. Global oil and gas “upstream” capital spending has fallen from nearly $800 billion in 2013 to below $350 billion this year, according to the International Energy Agency. Leading shale oil producers Chesapeake Energy and Whiting Petroleum have gone bust. Survivors are playing it safe. The number of oil rigs in the Permian Basin has fallen to half the 2019 level. Outside of the United States, the rig count is also around half its pre-Covid level, according to Goldman Sachs.The collapse in capital expenditure in oil and gas has accelerated with the rise of environmental, social and governance investing. Since the start of the year, green activist investor Engine No. 1 has captured three seats on the board of Exxon Mobil. The Biden administration has cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have transported Canadian oil across the United States. The oil majors won’t embark on expensive new projects for fear that they will end up as “stranded assets”. The head of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Mohammed Barkindo, recently lamented “a global campaign (against) the oil industry to crowd out investors of oil and gas.” Royal Dutch Shell predicts that global oil output will fall by 1%-2% a year.Activists may have their hearts in the right place, but many seem to overlook the fact that investment in renewable energy is itself highly energy intensive. What this means is that, in the short run, we’re going to need more of the black stuff. Environmentalist Jeremy Grantham (my former boss at GMO) points out that it typically takes 4 to 5 years to recoup the energy that goes into making wind turbines and other renewables. John Hess, the chief executive of the U.S. independent oil producer bearing his name, predicts that $16 trillion of planned green investments will “turbocharge” demand for oil in the near future.At the same time, conventional demand for oil is recovering faster than expected. American road traffic is back above its 2019 level. There’s more to come as the global airline industry reopens. Oil inventory drawdowns are accelerating. The fact that oil futures have been trading below the spot price (what is known in the market as “backwardation”) has made it uneconomical to store oil. Cushing, Oklahoma, the main U.S. oil storage facility, is operating at half capacity. Goldman predicts that Brent crude could reach $90 by year-end but adds that the rise in long-dated oil could prove “non-linear” if storage runs out. Oman’s energy minister, Mohammed al-Rumhy, suggests that what he calls “energy starvation” could send the oil price to $200 a barrel. Still, OPEC is in no hurry to help out – at its meeting earlier this week members declined to increase supply.An oil price spike anywhere close to $200 a barrel would halt the global economic recovery dead in its tracks. Central bankers are literally powerless in the face of an energy crisis. Printing more money at such a time would only fuel inflation, as occurred during the 1973 oil crisis. The “Everything Bubble” in stocks, bonds, cryptos, non-fungible tokens and baseball cards would burst. Higher energy prices would raise food prices. “Few people understand that cheap food, clothing and housing depend on cheap energy and that potatoes are really made from fossil fuel,” wrote the late Howard T. Odum in his book “Environment, Power, and Society”. Europe’s natural gas shortage has already darkened Dutch greenhouses and forced the UK government to bail out a fertiliser producer.Odum believed that all economic activity involved the transfer of energy. He coined the term “emergy” to describe the amount of energy required to generate a given level of output. The standard of living, he said, was best estimated by the annual emergy use per person. Reduce the amount of energy pulsing through the system and its output will decline. Renewable energy may one day replace the cheap energy supplied by hydrocarbons. But, contrary to what Prime Minister Johnson says, the transition won’t be easy.In the face of energy shortages, the global economy will have to restructure. Supply chains must contract and many businesses that depend on cheap energy (or cheap labour) will become unviable. Odum believed that real wealth is stored energy. Cash and nominal bonds are mere claims on wealth. Much of this paper wealth would be at risk of evaporating. As the economy contracts and consumer prices rise, inflation-protected bonds yielding negative rates may prove a safer bet. Gold, which has the highest embedded energy content of any natural material, according to Odum, looks especially attractive – it’s no coincidence that the 1979 oil crisis was accompanied by a bubble in the barbarous relic.High oil prices should incentivise more investment. But before that happens, the share prices of traditional energy suppliers will have to rise. Oil companies may not exist as we know them in several decades time. But in the meantime, they should be viewed like tobacco companies. Spurned by ESG investors, their cost of capital has risen. But Finance 101 teaches that a high cost of capital equates to high returns. For those who can’t bring themselves to invest in oil and gas production, there is always the futures market. With oil futures currently in backwardation you even get paid to speculate.
ESTIMACIONES DE PISOS AFECTADOSEspaña se gastará 200 M en el 'bono joven' al alquiler con hasta 50.000 beneficiadosEl bono, que tendrá una duración de dos años, estará dotado con 250 euros mensuales e irá dirigido a los jóvenes de entre 18 y 35 años con ingresos inferiores a 23.725 euroshttps://www.elconfidencial.com/economia/2021-10-06/gobierno-bono-joven-alquiler_3302064/El Gobierno avanza más números sobre la nueva medida estrella de los Presupuestos. La ministra de Transportes, Movilidad y Agenda Urbana, Raquel Sánchez, ha afirmado este miércoles, en una entrevista con la cadena de radio 'Onda Cero', que el Ejecutivo estima un gasto de 200 millones anuales en el 'bono joven' para el alquiler de vivienda y que beneficiará aproximadamente a entre 40.000 y 50.000 jóvenes.El 'bono joven' de vivienda, que tendrá una duración de dos años, estará dotado con 250 euros mensuales e irá dirigido a los jóvenes de entre 18 y 35 años con rentas de trabajo e ingresos anuales inferiores a 23.725 euros.

Evergrande Is Only the Beginning(...) In 2020 the five largest Chinese banks at least a 10% profit decline in the first half of the year, the cause, bad loans. Beijing’s senses now heightened to the systemic risks begin to introduce controls and caps for debt ratios, with regulators meeting with 12 major property developers, Evergrande among them. In line with Beijing’s overarching crackdown on “private companies” on the heels of the August summit Evergrande slashes its property prices by 30% in hopes to bolster sales, however, China has another looming problem, inadequate demand.According to the Rhodium Group, future urban household formation rates in China are predicted to be around 5 million to 7 million per year over the next decade, compared to around 9 million to 10 million a decade ago and declining over time. Urbanization rates are slowing, and annual marriages declining by 40% from their peak in 2013, according to China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs. The leading drivers of demand for housing were primarily based on speculative demand and asset parking. With the housing market outlook now grim, price-cutting for a market held together by buyer profiles with no intentions to occupy becomes largely meaningless, and likely was just a tactic of appeasement for Beijing.Today as western markets are now digesting and unpacking Evergrande’s insolvency in the face of its now $305 billion debt pile, eyes should be turned to the larger issue: Assessing the contagion and debt exposure of China’s other property developers, the infamous 12. As far as Evergrande goes western markets should rest easy as its outstanding offshore debt pile is currently only estimated to be $20 billion. Among its biggest creditors are HSBC, Blackrock, UBS, RBC, and London-based Ashmore. The vast majority of China's property liabilities are internal, and that poses the questions of systemic tail risk on how a further contraction will affect China’s employment, growth, and furthermore, political stability. With real estate composing 30% of the economy, domestic spillage into other areas of the economy is inevitable. In the end, it boils down to one thing that has been a long time coming for a decade, crisis.
Consenso en el sector inmobiliario: “La Ley de Vivienda reducirá oferta y ahuyentará inversores”Los expertos advierten de que la Ley Estatal de Vivienda es intervencionista, generará inseguridad jurídica y puede acabar elevando los precios del alquiler

El Imperio contra los inquilinosUna ley que regule el precio del alquiler supondría un grave riesgo para los bancos americanos que financiaron la compra de miles de viviendas por fondos inmobiliarios durante la Gran Recesión..Uno de estos elementos es el control de los alquileres mediante una ley que regule sus precios. [,,,] No es imposible. [,,,] El 27 de septiembre se planteó una consulta a los berlineses. Debían responder sí o no a la expropiación de las viviendas de los grandes fondos de inversión. Entre ellas se encuentran las antiguas viviendas de Deutsche Wohnen. El amplio sí de Berlín demuestra que, por suerte, todo es posible.https://ctxt.es/es/20211001/Firmas/37437/imperio-inquilinos-alquiler-bancos-america-viviendas-manuel-gabarre-de-sus.htm

Polonia ha dado este jueves un paso de gigante hacia un choque frontal con el resto de socios de la Unión Europea. El Tribunal Constitucional, en un veredicto demoledor y de consecuencias impredecibles, ha dictaminado que varios artículos de los tratados de la Unión Europea son inconstitucionales en su país, un veredicto que equivale a una declaración de guerra jurídica contra uno de los pilares fundamentales de la UE: la primacía del derecho comunitario sobre el nacional.
