Beyond Supply and Demand to Housing’s Unseen Financial Forces
About this episode
Chuck discusses the housing crisis through the lens of supply, demand, and financial forces, while also updating on Strong Towns' recent changes.
Chuck walks through three ways of seeing the housing crisis: supply, demand, and the Strong Towns view that grapples with “dark finance” and capital flows. He explains why campaign-style wins and single-variable fixes rarely deliver real affordability. The episode closes with a candid update on recent leadership changes and how Strong Towns has restructured its media work over the past year.
