United Neighbors is working hard to make the complicated topic of housing understandable to all and expose the damaging rhetoric “we need more supply” .
Let’s learn the facts.
Let’s change the narrative
Let’s expose what is really going on.
We do not have a housing supply problem. We have an affordable housing problem. Investors are buying up our housing stock and we have no way to outbid them for homes. We need our legislators to understand that deregulation of our zoning is a tool that adds profits to investors/developers’ portfolios and does not produce affordable housing. Also, removing parking minimums, adding density and removing setbacks helps investors not families. Countries worldwide realize that the real threat is investors buying up market rate housing and outbidding families. Our legislators need to understand this reality.
To get a complete picture of what is happening, please go to our website www.unitedneighbors.net and listen to the recording of our presentation (February 26,2022), then check out our slide presentation so you can better explain to your neighborhood members and friends what is really at play.
If you have any questions please reach out to us. Marc, Sharon, Jeff, Cindy and I are here to help.
We are also releasing our new one minute video. Please circulate it. Here is the YouTube link:
Let’s contact our legislators and go over the facts with them
Let’s tell our friends.
Our legislators will never solve the affordable housing crisis if they don’t understand the forces at play.
