Deep dives

The Widespread Housing Affordability Crisis

The housing affordability crisis has intensified globally, affecting areas previously considered stable, including cities like Boise, Idaho. Rent and home prices have skyrocketed, with many renters now spending over 30% of their income on housing, which significantly limits their financial flexibility in other areas. This crisis is interconnected with broader economic challenges, contributing to lower economic growth as companies struggle to attract workers due to high housing costs. Despite some national discussions around assistance and policy changes, the underlying supply issue remains pressing, with an estimated seven million housing units needed to meet demand.
