How We Approach Housing
Housing affordability is shaped by systems, not single causes.
Our work focuses on understanding how foundational inputs — like land use, regulation, and capacity — shape costs and outcomes over time.
More affordability means more options
When housing systems allow more capacity, people have more realistic choices about where to live, how long to stay, and how to plan for the future.
When capacity is constrained, those options quietly narrow — often without anyone intending it.
Housing options matter most when change isn’t a choice.
Life doesn’t always follow a plan. Job changes, family transitions, and unexpected events can force housing decisions people didn’t anticipate.
When housing options are limited, these moments become far more painful — not because people failed, but because the system offers little room to adjust.
What We Do
We examine the structural factors that shape housing costs and long-term outcomes — focusing on how policy design, capacity limits, and incentives interact across the housing system.
