Population Growth and Rental Trends

Rental housing economist Jay Parsons breaks down a new groundbreaking study on Opportunity Zones, which have proven to be remarkably effective — and efficient — in producing housing. Jay shares key takeaways from the study and then welcomes in "The Wizard of OZ" — Opportunity Zone apartment developer Barrett Linburg. Barrett and Jay talk about why the program has been a win/win for investors and for renters, and also previews what OZ 2.0 might look like as Congress works on potentially expanding and extending the Opportunity Zone legislation. Additionally, Jay reviews the latest headlines impacting rental housing — including two states discussing new rent control programs — and offers up another edition of "Rental Housing Trivia" and "Complaints Department."
