Housing Affordability
What do you think would actually help solve the housing affordability problem?
I'm in California, where housing affordability is obviously a huge conversation. Recent numbers show only about 22% of California households could afford the median-priced single-family home.
But I'm curious what it's like everywhere else.
How is housing affordability in your area?
And more importantly, what do you think would actually help?
More starter homes? Smaller homes? ADUs? Tiny homes? More new construction? Lower interest rates? Changes in zoning? Something completely different?
Also — what would you personally be willing to compromise on to make homeownership more affordable?
Location? Square footage? Yard size? Sharing property with an ADU? A tiny home?
Curious to hear what people in different parts of the country are seeing and what solutions actually make sense to you.
