California Policy Problem Shortage of Affordable Housing Memorandum

 

 The purpose of this memo is to meaningfully engage with the material from the chapter and think through the structural, institutional and economic factors that gave rise to the issue on which you are focusing. Please address the following in the memo using specific and relevant examples from the text. Please address the following:

1)Why is the issue covered in the chapter considered to be a problem? Do different groups have differing opinions on whether the issue is a problem or what exactly the problem is?

2)Why is this issue a public problem? Why should the government be involved or should the government even be involved at all? Is this something the market could handle without government interference? Is this a political problem or a logistical/technical problem? Is it both?

3)What are your thoughts on this issue? Is there something you feel the chapter overlooked/shortchanged?
