Lt. Gov. Heck: Housing Crisis Demands Million New Homes

Lt. Gov. Denny Heck delivered stark warnings to Clark County's Building Industry Association about Washington's housing crisis. The Vancouver native outlined how homebuilder constraints since 1992's Growth Management Act have created an "urgent problem" as the average first-time buyer age climbed from 28 to 40. Heck proposed three solutions including a new state Department of Housing and starter home initiatives to break the market logjam. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/business/lt-governor-shares-his-ideas-on-fixing-housing-shortage-to-members-of-bia-of-clark-county/ #HousingCrisis #DennyHeck #ClarkCounty #WashingtonState #BuildingIndustry #StarterHomes #GrowthManagement #HousingShortage #Vancouver #Politics
