Homelessness is a Housing Problem (with Gregg Colburn)

Pitchfork Economics with Nick Hanauer

CHAPTER

Understanding Homelessness: Housing as the Core Issue

This chapter challenges common misconceptions about homelessness, arguing that it is primarily a housing problem rather than merely a result of addiction or mental illness. The speaker presents research demonstrating the strong correlation between rising rent prices and homelessness rates, particularly in wealthier cities. It also explores the impact of federal policies and local decision-making on the housing crisis, advocating for systemic solutions to increase housing capacity.
