| A Deep Dive into the U.S. Housing Affordability Crisis | Questions to address: 1. Has housing really become unaffordable? 2. How does housing affordability compare in rentals vs. owned? What governs pricing in both markets? 3. If housing really is becoming unaffordable, what can we do about it? What have we tried to do about it already and has it failed/succeeded? Topics to discuss: - NIMBY vs. YIMBY - Arlington's EHO - Rent control - Northern Virginia as an example of housing affordability |
