Our housing markets are failing to provide the foundation for all Americans to have a dignified life they can afford in a good place with access to opportunity. Housing is a classic example of a "wicked problem" in planning and public policy: one involving a complex system with many interrelated parts, which does not yield to simple prescriptive fixes nor to pat ideological explanations. This is why, although nearly everyone agrees that we have a "housing crisis" today, there is no broad consensus on the nature and causes of that crisis, let alone what should be done about it. Escaping the Housing Trap: The Strong Towns Solution to the Housing Crisis will identify the tension between the "housing as a financial product" approach that dominates housing markets and the "housing as shelter" constraint that all of us as humans share. In the former, fiscal and monetary policy works to push the price up, combining with many local factors that also accelerate housing prices upward. Yet, to meet the shelter needs of Americans, prices need to come down, or at least be aligned with what people can broadly afford."--cProvided by publisher. 0aHousingzUnited States. 0aHousingxPriceszUnited States.1 aHerriges, Daniel,eauthor.08iOnline version:aMarohn, Charles L., Jr.tEscaping the housing trapdHoboken, New Jersey : Wiley, [2024]z9781394198313w(DLC) 2024006968  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBK-ENn0  c7937d7937  00102ddc4070aCENTRALbCENTRALd2025-10-01l0o333.3380973 M323 2024p1000000020310r2025-10-01 10:35:18w2025-10-01yBK-EN
