The Growing Cost of Place: Why Workforce Housing Matters in Austin
Brian Kelsey's presentation at the 2010 Regional Forum on Workforce Housing in Austin, Texas, sponsored by the National Housing Conference and the National Association of REALTORS.
Housing Shortage Predicted In 2010 (2)
The document discusses the possibility of a national housing shortage in the United States in the coming years. It notes that while housing inventories are currently high due to the recession and foreclosures, population growth means the country needs around 1.6 million new housing units per year, but construction is currently only around 500,000-600,000 units annually. Several economists predict that demand for housing will outstrip supply by 2011, leading to rising home and rent prices. The shortage is already occurring in some high-growth areas, but low construction rates mean new development is not keeping up with demand nationally.
Smart Growth Debate Opponent's Presentation
From South Fraser OnTrax’s debate on whether or not Smart Growth principles are needed in the South of the Fraser. More information at: http://www.southfraser.net/2012/02/smart-growth-debate-media.html
Robin Hood Tax
The document discusses implementing a Robin Hood tax on Wall Street to create jobs and rebuild the economy. It notes that over 12 million Americans are unemployed with little movement in 2012. A Robin Hood tax would raise hundreds of billions annually from a small tax on speculative financial trades to fund job creation programs. Several labor unions support a Robin Hood tax as a way to make Wall Street pay for the economic damage caused and help hard working Americans.
A NEW WPA
1) The document proposes a thought experiment about enacting a new Works Progress Administration (WPA) program that would employ 1 million people for 30 hours per week at $20 per hour to repair infrastructure for a total cost of $31.2 billion per year.
2) It estimates that this program would generate around $37.4 billion in additional economic activity through workers' local spending, as well as over $350 million in unemployment taxes.
3) After financing costs of $156 million and income taxes of around $203 million, the program could repay part of the $31.2 billion principal and help stimulate the economy by fixing infrastructure, providing jobs, and increasing local economic activity.
Presentation - 8.18.2010
1. Michigan's economy needs to change and diversify to adapt to global structural changes by adding new sectors like clean energy, life science, defense, and advanced manufacturing.
2. In addition to diversifying, Michigan must also educate and upskill its workforce by doubling the number of college graduates and enrolling more workers in job training programs.
3. To steer the state economy into new areas of growth, Governor Granholm has recruited over 1,000 new companies through international business trips and investments in green industries like advanced batteries and solar/wind energy that are projected to create over 88,000 new jobs.
Housing: the Rich and the Rest - Art Sitthiphap
This document discusses the disparities between housing trends for the rich and rest in the US. It notes that sales of multimillion dollar homes are up 25% while overall housing prices have declined 30% since 2007. However, middle and working class families are facing increasing poverty, as evidenced by high foreclosure rates disproportionately affecting African Americans and Latinos. While foreclosure numbers are dropping slightly year-over-year, the housing crisis continues to negatively impact the non-wealthy.
Brain drain final (ces)
The document discusses population decline and economic stagnation in upstate New York and its effect on political representation. It notes that the upstate population, especially among young people, decreased significantly between 1990-2000. Major upstate cities also saw population declines from 1950-2004. Fewer residents means less representation in Congress. Charts show private job and wage growth correlate with population growth. The document proposes retaining young people by increasing opportunities like jobs and small businesses. It suggests connecting students to employers, revitalizing cities, making housing affordable, and strengthening communities through civic engagement. A summit will address these issues to keep the next generation in the state.

NJ Housing Crisis
This was a campaign launched several years ago. When the real estate market returns, NJ will once again be faced with the question, "Where will people live?" The state does not have enough land zoned for the construction of a variety of housing to meet the shelter needs of its people. More than 30% of NJ is preserved. Some 30% is developed and the remaining lands are hotly debated.

Austin: Navigating the “Great Reset” and Creating a More Sustainable Economy
The document summarizes a presentation given in Austin, Texas about navigating the economic challenges of the "Great Reset" recession and creating a more sustainable economy. It provides data showing that while Austin experienced job and GDP growth in the 2000s, the recession had impacts from 2007-2009 including job losses and housing issues. However, Austin has rebounded well and was rated a top city, with continued job and population growth projected. It discusses ensuring future economic success and inclusion, and changing to address issues like income stagnation, workforce needs, and sustainable communities.

The Irish Bank Crisis: Cuts are a Feminist Issue : Gender and the Economy, Lecture Seven, UCD, 20 Oct 2014
Masters Research Paper
This document summarizes the declining supply of workforce housing in high-cost US cities and tools to enable its development and preservation. It discusses how middle-income neighborhoods have declined since the 1970s due to job losses and rising housing costs. While subsidies largely target low-income households, moderate-income households earning 60-120% of the area median income also struggle with high rents and home prices. This shortage of affordable workforce housing impacts teachers, police officers, nurses and other key professions that are vital to local communities. The document examines the challenges faced and potential solutions to preserve and increase the supply of housing for moderate-income families.
Inslee ahab letter 01172017
Roger Valdez, the director of Smart Growth Seattle, writes a letter to Governor Inslee thanking him for acknowledging the need to analyze the root causes of the lack of affordable housing in Washington state. Valdez agrees that issues around zoning, planning, permitting, development, and construction processes raise costs and barriers to producing both market-rate and subsidized housing. Valdez recommends commissioning an objective study to understand regulatory burdens that increase housing costs and compare costs of producing market-rate versus subsidized housing, in order to make recommendations to reduce costs for all housing production.
Paper#1
(1) The document discusses the relationship between business, economic functions, and society. It argues that business transactions should be done fairly to benefit all parties and reduce contention. When businesses charge significantly more than their costs, it is unfair to consumers.
(2) Over time, the relationship between business and society has evolved to be more symbiotic and fair. With shareholders invested in companies, both businesses and consumers are dependent on each other for survival.
(3) The document concludes that for businesses to thrive, they must operate for the good of the community, as business and society are inseparable and interdependent. Success depends on a respectful relationship between these entities.
City(10) (Exponential City) - a presentation at the Singularity University Gl...
The document discusses what would be needed to create exponential cities. It suggests that information and awareness, engaged citizens, continuous equitable distribution of resources, and long and short-term planning would be key. Exponential cities could help address many of the problems cities currently face, such as carbon emissions, homelessness, inequality, and aging infrastructure. Creating the conditions for exponential growth will require bringing together a coalition of public and private partners to implement solutions.
Austin: A Theory of Everything. How & why Austin is changing and what we shou...
This document summarizes statistics about Austin's population growth, job growth, and economic performance since 2000. It finds that Austin ranked highly in population growth and job growth nationally and experienced strong GDP growth above the national average. However, it notes that Austin is not creating enough "middle-wage" jobs and that housing costs have risen faster than earnings for lower-educated workers, threatening affordability. The rising costs and income inequality contribute to residential segregation by race/ethnicity.
Houston’s Energy Angst - Yardi Matrix Multifamily Winter 2016 Report
Rent growth in Houston has decelerated as the city's energy-driven economy has been impacted by low oil prices. While the economy has diversified, the drop in crude oil prices has slowed job and population growth and dampened the apartment market. Rent growth was 3.5% year-over-year in Houston compared to 6.2% nationally, and rents have declined on a trailing three-month basis. The outlook for multifamily fundamentals is uncertain due to slowing rent growth and a large amount of new supply in the pipeline that could pressure rents further, although rent growth is still forecast at 4.7% for 2016. The investment market in Houston is also beginning to sour as deal flow and pricing start
Growing Prosperity in Austin - February 2014
The document summarizes economic trends in Austin from 2003-2013 that contributed to its strong growth and prosperity. It notes that Austin experienced the second highest GDP growth and top job growth among large US metro areas during this period. However, it warns that success can breed complacency and that challenges remain around income stagnation, education inequality, and housing affordability. The document calls for big ideas to address these issues, such as setting goals for a majority of residents to obtain a postsecondary degree and using opportunities like the new medical school to promote broad-based wealth creation and inclusion.

East Austin Neighborhood Report
Close enough to Downtown to be cool by association, East Downtown's grittier character sets it apart from its neighbor's highly trafficked path. Worn-in hole-in-the-wall bars, casual dives, and mural adorned bodegas lend East Downtown a weathered, artistic edge. Set its nonconformist values against the serene backdrop of Lady Bird Lake, and it becomes clear why many venture out to this East Austin neighborhood.

Leadership Texas May 2010 V2
This document discusses how demographic trends and workforce shortages in the US are connected to immigration. It notes that the US population is aging and fertility rates are below replacement levels, so future workforce growth will rely on immigration. Several industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and restaurants already face labor shortages. It also discusses border security challenges and how an overly restrictive approach can negatively impact the economy through delays and reduced travel and trade. Overall it argues for an immigration system that balances security with facilitation of legal movement to meet labor demands.

Black and White earnings gap
This document summarizes several studies that investigate the black-white male earnings gap in the United States. It finds that differences in human capital, such as education and experience, explain a significant portion of the earnings gap but not all, suggesting labor market discrimination still exists. The gap narrowed between 2000 and 2010, with human capital explaining more of the difference and discrimination playing a smaller role over time.

The University of Portland offers an Employee Home Grant Program to positively reinforce their commitment to environmental sustainability and build an affordable community for faculty and staff. The program provides grants of $10,000-$15,000 to around 450 eligible full-time employees to purchase a home near campus and commit to alternative transportation. The goals are to recruit and retain employees, improve local livability and involvement, and decrease commuting to meet clean air mandates. The program has seen success, with over $1 million invested and 127 active or fully forgiven grants so far.
Jennifer Larsen_BWH Portland 2011

Proud Ground provides permanently affordable homeownership through legal agreements that ensure homes can be resold at affordable prices, maintaining affordability over time. When a homeowner decides to sell, a resale formula allows them to receive a fair return on investment while keeping the home priced for low and moderate income buyers. Proud Ground homes operate like traditional homeownership with mortgages, equity accumulation, and tax benefits, but have much lower purchase prices in exchange for restricted resale values. The organization works with brokers and employers to promote the program.

This document summarizes the Morgan Woods affordable housing development project on Martha's Vineyard. Some key points:
1) Morgan Woods created 60 affordable housing units, nearly doubling the island's inventory, to house year-round residents who provide essential services but can no longer afford to live there.
2) The development overcame many logistical challenges to transport modular units by barge and complete construction efficiently. Thoughtful design has created a family-friendly community environment.

The document discusses housing affordability in the context of the recent housing crisis. It makes three key points:
1) While falling home prices have led to record housing affordability levels, most households entered the downturn already facing high housing costs and few can take advantage of lower prices.
2) Measures of housing affordability and burden show that affordability has only improved to early 2000 levels and many households, especially low- and moderate-income, still face high housing costs.
3) The housing affordability problem is particularly acute in Massachusetts compared to other markets. Most households cannot benefit from lower home prices due to existing high housing cost burdens.
