Urban Economics: Rebranding Opinions on Multifamily Housing

Robinson, Sarah

Abstract

Housing unaffordability has pushed middle-income residents to the outskirts of major cities. Many individuals find themselves forced to compromise location for affordability, quickly increasing population density in the suburbs. Without planning and investment, urban sprawl will spill over the edge of urban areas and into suburbs without direction to grow. Investing in or voting for policies that favor multifamily housing will provide refuge for these individuals, facilitate mixed-income housing, and strengthen formerly single-family zoned areas with income and racial diversification, increased environmental sustainability, and economic uplift.
