HOMEOWNERSHIP AND HEALTHY LIVING GAPS ONCE IDENTIFIED BY ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE PROVEN THROUGH FINE-GRADE DATA
Chris Collier is the Alliance for Housing Affordability Program Manager for the Housing Authority of Snohomish County in the northern reaches of the Seattle metropolitan area.
With soaring house prices experienced from
California to the Pacific Northwest, he has calculated that to buy a single-family
home in Snohomish County, a household must earn $156,000 per year.
Collier said part of the problem is expensive housing and a scarcity of quality affordable housing.
But to get the big picture of inequity,
he said policymakers must study the things that limit people from earning
enough to be competitive in the home ownership market.
