This fall, the Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, in partnership with the Ziman Center for Real Estate, hosted a three part lecture series about housing. Over three weeks, we hosted nine participants spanning academia, advocacy and practice. The three topics included:
- Job Accessibility : What is the relationship between allocation of housing and job accessibility, particularly for vulnerable populations?
- Los Angeles Affordability Crisis : What is the scale of the housing supply crisis in Los Angeles? What are the causes and what can people do to address this issue?
- Short-term rentals: Just how many units in Los Angeles are available for short term rentals? What effect, if any, is this having on the affordability crisis? How are cities regulating this rapidly growing industry
