I think in a true efficient market there would be no arbitrage between renting and buying. There would just be oscillations around an equilibrium. I would suspect permits/zoning an…

I think this is a real problem in the West. Consider how much brain power and resources have been spent on quant finance and crypto now in the past 20 years. Imagine if all those r…
