When Housing Policy Ignores How Housing Really Works - Ed Pinto | S3E1
from Keys to Real Estate
Housing attainability keeps getting worse – even as policymakers promise solutions. Ed Pinto, senior fellow and co-director at the AEI Housing Center, explains why demand-based fixes fail and what actually works in this episode of Keys to Real Estate. October Research Chief Knowledge Officer Mary Schuster engaged Pinto on the importance of taking a data-driven approach when assessing the complexities of housing attainability and making informing policy decisions. He highlights the disconnect between demand-side solutions and the actual supply issues facing the housing market, particularly the role of local jurisdictions in constraining development. With these insights in mind, industry professionals can plan their advocacy efforts more strategically to maximize their return-on-investment at a time when every dollar counts.
