9/ And while the monthly cost of renting vs. owning isn’t always that far apart, barriers like down payments and credit still make it hard for many people to buy.

[Stephanie Sigafoos @ssigafoos]

8/ Economists say the core issue comes down to supply and demand: there just isn’t enough inventory, and that’s keeping pressure on rents.

[Stephanie Sigafoos @ssigafoos]

7/ Even affordable housing projects come with many constraints — from limited public funding to strict income requirements and long-term compliance rules.

[Stephanie Sigafoos @ssigafoos]

6/ This isn’t just affecting low-income households. Middle-income workers are increasingly feeling the squeeze, with far fewer options that fit their budgets.
