The Challenge of Housing Affordability
Lewis G. Feldman and Douglas A. Praw of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP
Population growth in the United States will create 13 million to 15 million new households over the coming decade, creating a need for homebuilders to construct about 1.6 million new homes each year during that same period. While the obstacles to the provision of affordable housing are formidable, through successful public-private partnership arrangements, land use and financial incentives, developers, cities and states can lift the cloud for the more than 28 million Americans who face limited access to decent, safe, affordable housing.
Building in Affordability
Jerold B. Neuman of Allen Matkins Leck Gamble Mallory & Natsis LLP
In the age of megacities and sprawling suburban regions, the model advanced by the smart growth trend promotes the building of master-planned communities that bring people together around access to basic needs, such as education, safety, and municipal services. These communities are built on the philosophy of conserving resources in a manner that is sustainable both for current populations as well as for generations to come.
