Yes -very inserting article. And very well written-very readable. But what is of special note is that the article calls it a crisis for those seeking SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. Those are the first examples they offer.
And, then the pivot is to apartment developments and condos, with no equivalent documentation of demand…just the assertion. It is easy to document the demand for affordable units as there are waging lists. On the other hand, we are not documenting demand for market rate, especially high end units. It seems there is no discussion as to how to meet the noted demand for single family homes. Also of note is the graph of where there are a lot of building permits being pulled and where there are not, without also noting that lots of permits are being pulled where land is easier to come by, like the Denver area. The real challenge will be how to meet demand for single family homes in our area. ------ Sara Mattes > On Oct 18, 2023, at 1:02 PM, Alice Waugh <[email protected]> wrote: > > The housing crisis since the 1960s and soaring prices...
