  • 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.

  • Great, informative podcast

    Really appreciate this as a way to get deeply informed on housing issues while on the go. The Pathways Home series is particularly great: very relevant, important and accessible. Will share with friends.
