THE HOUSING CRUNCH IS REAL

HOW WE GOT HERE, HOW WE ADDRESS IT AND THE DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFTS THAT WILL IMPACT WHAT AND WHERE WE CALL HOME

Robert Dietz, NAHB chief economist, predicts an increase of building the so-called missing middle a way of adding density that is not high rise or out of scale. 

The term describes duplexes, rowhouses and courtyard apartments that provide housing at different price points that is compatible in scale with single-family neighborhoods. 

It supports diverse and walkable communities. 

It is “missing” because such housing was common in pre-WWII United States, but often is outlawed by zoning.
