For generations, the ability to move to places with economic opportunity has driven upward mobility in the United States. But restrictive zoning laws and outdated land-use policies have stalled that engine, driving up housing costs and making it harder for people to live where jobs and opportunity are growing. As demand for homes rises, policymakers at all levels of government are grappling with how to expand supply and support households struggling to afford housing.
Join BPC for a panel discussion on how zoning and land-use reforms can expand housing supply, the policies needed to help families access areas of greater opportunity, and how federal, state, and local leaders can work together to unlock the housing market.
Speakers:
- Yoni Appelbaum | Deputy Executive Editor, The Atlantic; Author, “Stuck: How the Privileged and the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity”
- Salim Furth | Senior Research Fellow and Director of the Urbanity Project, Mercatus Center
- Jenny Schuetz | Vice President of Infrastructure and Housing, Arnold Ventures
- Francis Torres | Associate Director, Housing and Infrastructure, Bipartisan Policy Center (Moderator)
