The Business Sector Begins to Worry about Affordable Housing.

CharacterTowns.org mined two recent concurrent articles focusing on affordable housing and concerns of the industrial sector. The concurrent Articles are from:

• Bloomberg Businessweek, January 20, 2020. “A Housing Start for Microsoft”
• The Economist, January 18th – 24th, 2020, “Special Report: Housing, Shaking the Foundations.”

In both articles, the source of the problem is discussed in some depth, but solutions are the main point. The authors offer specific ideas and examples of specific programs and policies that are improving the affordability of housing to low and middle income families from cities and countries around the globe. At the end of the day, the overwhelming conclusion is that there just needs to be more housing affordable too low and middle income households.
