Why nobody really knows the scale of the U.S. housing crisis
Experts say the U.S. needs an additional 2 million to 20 million homes to fix the shortfall, underscoring the challenge of meeting the nation’s housing needs.
#Housing+ is a place that includes many aspects of housing--tenant rights, YIMBY, zoning, rent control, gentrification, and the unhoused. There are a lot of schools of thought on the housing crisis and H+ intends to highlight all of them.

this is a TERRIBLE solution for people with unpredictable incomes!
So-called “rent now, pay later” services have emerged over the past few years as housing costs climb and paychecks grow less predictable, particularly for lower-income and gig-economy workers.

Renters use 'rent now, pay later' services to manage monthly payments, but fees raise concerns
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, rents have jumped nearly 28% in past five years. Companies such as Flex, Livble and, more recently, Affirm, say breaking rent into multiple payments can h...

thinking of housing shortage in terms if raw numbers of homes is just stupid, because homes aren’t fungible. scatter 40 million new homes across the tundra of Alaska and you’ll do nothing to address housing miseries. build a neighborhood 50,000 people are excited to live in and you’ll do a lot more.

Yep. Late-stage capitalism's 'democracy' is a sham. Most folks agree and are ignored by our handlers on an array of important matters: antigenocide in Gaza (everywhere), reasonable gun laws, affordable health care, student debt relief, affordable housing, environmental stewardship, and MOAR.

One of the biggest blows against the illusion of Western democracy in recent years has been that there is now more popular support for Palestine than ever, the tide has turned; and yet it doesn't make any difference whatsoever. Our leaders can entirely ignore us. We do not live under Democracy

Fantastic story by @conordougherty.bsky.social about the conundrum at the center of the housing crisis: people trying to buy a home to build a nest egg need housing prices to come down, while the people who already own need prices to go up so that nest egg can grow. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/0….

NYC? poorly designed inclusionary zoning can backfire. If “affordable” units target higher incomes, ignore local residents, and slow new market rate housing, prices still rise and wealthier renters spill into nearby neighborhoods, speeding up gentrification instead of stopping it

Offer in on another house today. I've lost track of how many. The housing market is crazy, but we just want to own a home, especially when we're in a good place for this.

US housing shortage estimates range from 2 million to 20 million homes as Moody’s Analytics, Zillow and Brookings use different assumptions.
The Census Bureau counts 146 million homes in the US.
Zillow estimates a 4.7 million gap and the Joint Economic Committee projects 20 million.

What is most notable about this election in Fairfield, CT is it was a referendum on being open or closed to new housing
The Democratic ticket mounted a masterful multi-week public campaign incl op-eds framing being open and having more housing was actually the way to take back control. It worked

about 1 hour agoNY Times: President Trump has promised to address the housing affordability crisis, a top concern for voters. At a cabinet meeting last week he said:
“I don’t want to drive housing prices down,” he said. “I want to drive housing prices up for people that own their homes.”
