Description

The Affordable City: A Comprehensive Approach to Housing Policy Shane Phillips offers a nuanced solution to the twin crises of high housing costs and household instability in US cities. By supporting both tenant protections and housing abundance, Phillips argues that cities can effectively tackle the housing crisis. Phillips presents over 50 policy recommendations, organized into three key principles: Supply, Stability, and Subsidy. He makes a strong case for why each is essential and provides guidance on how to make them work together. This book is an invaluable resource for professionals and advocates working to improve affordability and increase community resilience through local action. By providing a comprehensive approach backed by diverse coalitions, The Affordable City offers a practical guide for addressing the complex challenges of housing policy.
