Pysal/numpy incompatibility? No loop matching the specified signature and casting was found for ufunc add

Quoting: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64727148/pysal-in-python-error-no-loop-matching-the-specified-signature-and-casting-was

I am using the pysal package to do some spatial regressions. I am adopting the example here where the dataset is here:

This is what I am doing:

abb_link = '/Users/emassaro/Downloads/listings.csv.gz'
lst = pd.read_csv(abb_link)
x = ['host_listings_count', 'bathrooms', 'bedrooms', 'beds', 'guests_included']
def has_pool(a):
    if 'Pool' in a:
        return 1
    else:
        return 0

lst['pool'] = lst['amenities'].apply(has_pool)
yxs = lst.loc[:, x + ['pool', 'price']].dropna()
y = np.log( yxs['price'].apply(lambda x: float(x.strip('$').replace(',', '')))+ 0.000001)
w = ps.knnW_from_array(lst.loc[yxs.index, ['longitude', 'latitude']].values)
w.transform = 'R'

m1 = ps.spreg.OLS(y.values[:, None], yxs.drop('price', axis=1).values, \
                  w=w, spat_diag=True, \
                  name_x=yxs.drop('price', axis=1).columns.tolist(), name_y='ln(price)')

However if I want to use another model, such as GM_Lag

m2 = ps.spreg.GM_Lag(y.values[:, None], yxs.drop('price', axis=1), w=w, spat_diag=True)

I get the following error
