Understand the root causes of America's interrelated housing crisis and the intentional responses your city can make to address it.

Housing is an investment. Investment prices must go up. Housing is shelter. When the price of shelter goes up, people experience distress.

This is the housing trap. It’s time to escape.

This presentation introduces a first-of-its-kind discussion of the tension between housing as a financial product and housing as shelter.
