SUMMARY:Increasing Housing Supply: What Is Working\, and Addressing NIMBYis
 m
DESCRIPTION:Register at this link.\n\nSeptember 27\, LAIGW Program\n\nAccor
 ding to the American Enterprise Institute Housing Center\, the Federal Gov
 ernment has been focusing on demand\, not supply\, by making it easier to 
 get a mortgage and lower interest rates. To solve the housing crisis\, the
  Center finds that there needs to be more focus at both the federal and lo
 cal levels on creating more supply to meet the existing demand. Permitting
  and building more housing relative to the jobs and wages increases will t
 amp down prices.\n\nLocal governments can make changes in regulatory polic
 ies in zoning and land use requirements. Among the ideas from AEI to incre
 ase the supply are reducing lot size\, allowing parcels to have more than 
 one unit\, and minimizing parking requirements. Examples of areas that are
  implementing zoning and land use changes to increase supply will be discu
 ssed.\n\nA report on a new concept of "light touch density" was released t
 his summer in a series of policy briefs on zoning\, land use\, and a solut
 ion to help alleviate the nation's housing shortage. Here is a link to the
  document:\n\nhttps://www.aei.org/light-touch-density/\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nAm

 odirector of AEI Housing Center. The Center monitors US markets using a un

 use of light-touch density and Livable Urban Villages to increase the supp
 ly of naturally occurring affordable housing across the United States. Act
 ive in housing finance for 50 years\, he was an executive vice president a
