Solution 1: Build more housing
Despite the evident need for housing, only 286 permits have been issued so far in 2023, indicating a slow response from the market to address this demand. This shortage has led to increased rental prices
Solution 2: Relocate workers farther outside of the city
We believe workers in our community deserve to live in our community. While some may desire to relocate further their place of work, this is not a viable solution for all workers.
Solution 3: Do more with existing housing
We can do more with our existing housing to meet the needs of the metro-area population. There are exciting developments to address housing shortages and affordability challenges by increasing housing density. Some examples include converting single-family into multi-family homes, commercial to residential conversions, housing ADUs, co-living, and shared housing. At PadSplit, we are growing the country’s leading shared housing marketplace.
