San Diego's housing crisis is more than just a shortage—it's an affordability crisis. Mayor Gloria's push for dense development without proper infrastructure has led to a mass exodus and compromised our city's livability. We need a plan that prioritizes community input, enforces affordable housing promises, and streamlines the permitting process to ensure we meet our housing goals and protect our neighborhoods. As your Mayor, I'll focus on genuine solutions, accountability, and preserving what makes San Diego great. #larryturnerformayor #SanDiegoHousingCrisis #lt4sd #sandiego #sandiegopolitics #AffordableHousingSD

Big News in Housing Legislation. 🏠 The Scottish Government has introduced a groundbreaking Bill aimed at transforming the housing landscape, by tackling key issues like tenant protections and homelessness prevention. Here's a glimpse into what the Bill proposes: - Rent Control Measures: Including assessments of rent conditions, powers for rent control areas, and limits on rent increases. - Tenant Rights: Introducing rights for pet ownership and property alterations for tenants. - Homelessness Prevention: Mandating actions from relevant bodies to prevent homelessness + making local authorities act sooner, and support for tenants affected by domestic abuse. A bold step towards a fairer, more inclusive housing system. Success will now depend on successful implementation.🤞🏽Looking forward to doing our bit. https://lnkd.in/eQGGRYDw

When you talk to people about the housing crisis, everyone will say we need a solution, but far fewer people would agree to support a solution that involves their own neighborhood. Those of us in affordable housing see this conundrum across state lines, including in Colorado. In a recent article by The Atlantic, Jerusalem Demsas details why it has been so difficult to find a unanimous solution in Denver.

While some of what Miriam argues is true (and I'll concede that I am biased), I am going to stick up for the LIHTC investment/ownership model despite its costs. Private, institutional ownership of affordable housing is a good thing that provides a lot of long-term benefit to these projects. Whether you fund it publicly or privately, it is in the taxpayers' interest to have stable owners who have significant skin in the game and want to see these projects succeed over the course of their ownership. And tax credit investors are some of the mostly highly regulated and scrutinized institutions in the country when it comes to these kinds of investments. They have a very strong set of incentives to make their projects successful. The kind of owner you want stewarding what is ultimately taxpayer money. Reputational concerns combined with financial incentives is why you see very little major distress in this space, even in downcycles. I would also take issue with the point about direct funding. I don't believe it to simply be a matter of political will. Wasn't the concept of something like HOPE VI and now something like RAD kind of an admission (at least at the federal level) that private capital might work better than direct public funding/ownership in some cases?
