This morning, I attended the Master Builders Association’s Housing Solutions Breakfast, where industry leaders and dozens of elected officials came together to discuss the challenges facing housing in our region.
We talked about where we are today, what’s holding us back, and what needs to change to make housing more attainable.
From my perspective, working directly in residential land acquisition and development, the challenges are clear: rising development costs, lengthy permitting timelines, regulatory complexity, and the growing difficulty of making new housing projects financially feasible.
We can talk about the need for more housing all day, but if the economics don't work, the housing doesn't get built.
It was encouraging to see so many elected officials in the room listening and engaging in these conversations. Meaningful progress starts with understanding what it actually takes to bring housing from concept to completion.
Appreciate the Master Builders Association for bringing everyone together and continuing to push this important conversation forward.
