California’s housing shortage won’t be solved by narrowing the market.

It will be solved by building – more homes, faster. https://t.co/3PV9dW24Ed

The question every housing policy should answer: does this build more homes?

If not, it won’t fix affordability in California. https://t.co/3PV9dW24Ed

[North State BIA @NorthStateBIA]

Housing affordability starts with supply.

More homes = more options = lower costs. Until we address that, we’re missing the real issue. https://t.co/3PV9dW24Ed

[North State BIA @NorthStateBIA]

We can’t regulate our way out of a housing shortage.

The only lasting fix is increasing supply at every level of the market. https://t.co/3PV9dW24Ed

Want to lower housing costs? Build more homes.
It’s that straightforward. Policies that don’t increase supply won’t solve the crisis. https://t.co/3PV9dW24Ed

[North State BIA @NorthStateBIA]

The real housing problem in California isn’t who owns homes; it’s that we don’t have enough of them.

Until we fix supply, affordability will keep getting worse. https://t.co/3PV9dW2CtL

[North State BIA @NorthStateBIA]

California underbuilds housing every year – that’s what’s driving high costs.
If a proposal doesn’t add supply, it’s not a real solution. https://t.co/3PV9dW2CtL

[North State BIA @NorthStateBIA]

CA’s housing crisis is simple: we’re not building enough homes.

Focusing on a small share of the market won’t fix a statewide shortage. Increasing supply will.
