Housing Supply and Affordability: Assessing the Evidence

By:Professor Philip Garboden, University of Hawaii

 

This presentation will summarize current research on the impact of housing supply on housing affordability. The evidence consistently supports the idea that additions to the stock, at any price point, can lower prices throughout the market. However, there remain a significant number of families whose low incomes put them outside of this natural “filtering” process. The importance of a two-pronged approach to housing burdens in Hawaii will be discussed.

 

 

FOR AMENDED NOTICES:  Measures that have been deleted are stricken through and measures that have been added are underscored.  If a measure is both underscored and stricken through, that measure has been deleted from the agenda.

 

No public testimony will be accepted.

 

If you require auxiliary aids or services to participate in the public hearing process (i.e., interpretive services (oral or written), ASL interpreter, or wheelchair accessibility), please contact the committee clerk at least 24 hours prior to the hearing so that arrangements can be made.

 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL THE COMMITTEE CLERK AT (808)586-8420.
