  • Northampton Center for the Arts 33 Hawley Street Northampton, MA, 01060 United States (map)

Charles Marohn, president and founder of Strong Towns, will be giving an “Escaping the Housing Trap” presentation in Northampton, Massachusetts, on November 8, 2024.

LOCATION: Northampton Center for the Arts  |  DATE: November 8, 2024 | TIME: 8:30 a.m. EST

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.

This event is free to attend. A bagel breakfast will be provided.
