From NIMBY to YIMBY: How Public Housing Can Transform Communities | Rachel Cohen | TMR

Rachel Cohen explores the idea of using state and local government involvement in public housing as a solution to America's housing crisis. With a shortage of affordable homes and rising prices, some analysts and lawmakers are advocating for government intervention to increase the housing supply. Examples from Rhode Island, Colorado, Hawaii, and Montgomery County, Maryland, demonstrate the potential of publicly owned mixed-income housing. By leveraging government resources and acknowledging the power of the public sector, states can address the housing crisis. Although challenges exist, policymakers are recognizing the self-interest in developing affordable housing and reinvesting in the community. Learning from successful models in other countries, states can develop effective strategies to tackle housing shortages.
