  • Must listen

    This podcast is a must-listen for anyone concerned about why the U.S. doesn’t have enough housing, market or affordable, and how different housing policies make that worse or sometimes better. Exposes practitioners to research that they probably didn’t even know existed.

  • Accessible and accurate

    This is a fantastic podcast for understanding the state of the research on housing economics and affordability. I appreciate that they interview the authors of the papers in a way that makes the content accessible to non-economists while preserving accuracy and nuance.

  • Too much policy, not enough economics

    Love the topic, but unfortunately these episodes too often devolve to wishcasting. In the current series on pathways to homelessness episode 1 clearly states that the base issue in areas of high homeless is a lack of available units in which to live and the costs that scarcity drives. So why no follow up episodes on high density building, alternatives to traditional housing (beyond apartments/condos/sfh), breaking down govt regulation and bureaucracy to speed development, post pandemic commerci... more

  • Invaluable!

    Searching "why x policy..." often goes nowhere useful - particularly without institutional access to journals, or adequate knowledge of the legal terminology or variation in terminology in other areas. Any of these episodes is a wealth of terminology, names of researchers, studies, cultural and legislative context, discussion of how the studies were conducted, their limitations... with the recognition that listeners may be coming from a range of interests, backgrounds, and level of knowledge.

Ep. 96: Direct-to-Tenant Rent Assistance with Vincent Reina

Ep. 96: Direct-to-Tenant Rent Assistance with Vincent Reina
Q: What were some of the challenges implementing it in Philly and how did this effort lead to an interest in changing the Housing Choice Voucher Program?
The city had difficulties with timely delivery of assistance and realized that providing money directly to tenants could eliminate friction in the rental process, leading to the development of PHL Housing Plus.
Ep. 95: Low-Rise Multifamily with Tobias Peter
Q: What makes for a successful reform and what are some of the things people should be wary of?
You need to allow smaller lots, make it by right, and keep regulations short and simple.
Encore Episode: Housing Vouchers with Rob Collinson
Q: Why might it be better to use vouchers instead of building public housing?
